An Introduction to Fly Fishing for Trout does what few other books fly fishing books do well - offers clear instructions, insider tips, and more than a few secrets to both the new and intermediate-level fly fisherman. Starting with the notion that fly fishing is not difficult to learn, this how-to guide gets you on the water quickly without weeks and months of practice. It avoids the technical jargon and heavy-handed emphasis on advanced techniques that you find in many fly fishing books, instead providing basic techniques in a conversational style with tips for continued improvement. Comprehensive as well as approachable, this practical primer also includes over 200 color photos and illustrations to enrich the material. As lifelong teachers and fly fishermen, and the authors of over 20 books on fly fishing, Williams and McPhail apply their experience and expertise to help you choose gear, identify bugs and hatches, recognize trout species, and cast effectively. They then delve deeper into skills, strategies, and tactics like nymphing and dropper rigs, and touch on critical topics like stream etiquette, safe wading, fishing tailwaters, hiring guides, hiking into backcountry, using float tubes and kayaks, and much more. Even if you don’t live near trout water, this invaluable guide will teach you the techniques of fly fishing, for panfish, perch, bass, redfish, and almost any other species with fins. Regardless of your skill level, An Introduction to Fly Fishing for Trout is an invaluable tutorial and guide that you’ll reference again and again.</div>

Filling out standard worksheets, memorizing the periodic table, reciting the Bill of Rights in front of your classmates, watching them nod off at their desks – sounds like a stereotypical portrait of a classroom, right?</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Mark Williams, an English, Speech and Multimedia teacher at<a href="http://nhamaisd.sharpschool.com/" style="border: 0px; color: #ae2f42; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">North Heights Alternative School</a>, would wholeheartedly disagree. In regard to his innovative teaching methods and forward thinking, Mark was recently named runner up for the prestigious 2013 <a href="http://brockinternationalprize.org/" style="border: 0px; color: #ae2f42; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">Brock International Prize in Education</a>. Usually claimed by highly regarded university professors and well-renowned educational reformers, academics such as Dr. Robert Marzano, cofounder and CEO of Marzano Research Laboratory, or Dr. Howard Gardner, a developmental psychologist and Harvard University professor, Mark is the first alternative educator and the first everyday teacher to be nominated in the prize’s history.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
For a high school teacher at an alternative school situated in a city of less than 200,000 people, to even be nominated for this award is no small feat, stresses Stacey Harris, <a href="http://www.amaisd.org//" style="border: 0px; color: #ae2f42; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">AISD</a> Director of Content, Support and Instruction. Only nine people are nominated worldwide each year.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<img align="left" class="padding10" src="http://amarillomagonline.com/~amamagups/Dec2012/mark%20embed.jpg" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 10px;" /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“We’re talking people who are theorists in our field, who speak to Congress, who really have power and influence on a national and international stage,” Stacey says. “And then, we have Mark, who because of his work here in Amarillo, Texas, this little place, a little pond, he is nominated for such a position. It is an immense honor to even be nominated and it is almost beyond anyone’s dreams here.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Mark’s colleagues and students submitted a video to one of the prize jurors, Lori Lamb, urging her to nominate him for his experimental, and thriving, methods in the classroom. One for example, is the collaborative student project producing the Amarillo Tourism iPad app with the <a href="http://www.amarillo-chamber.org/" style="border: 0px; color: #ae2f42; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">Chamber of Commerce</a>, the first professional app designed by high school students in the United States. Mark is humble, and while he is proud of his recognition among the world’s most influential minds, it’s his job rather than this honor that validates his teachings. He loves his students, and he forges relationships with them that last beyond graduation day. They are “learning partners for life.”<br /><br />“It’s not about the award because I feel validated day to day,” exclaims Mark, who has authored numerous books and iPad apps. “I feel validated for small things, not because someone makes a good grade, but because someone overcomes a struggle, or learns a new skill or understands a concept. I think for all my colleagues, for our staff and administrators, there is a certain sense of accomplishment with what we’ve been doing. We’re experimental here! And other people are recognizing that what we’re doing is working.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Mark teaches what most people would pigeonhole as “at-risk” students. North Heights is a school of privilege, he insists, and students must apply to be accepted into the school. Alternative programs have been marred with the reputation of teaching students with behavioral problems but that’s not the case at North Heights. Many of Mark’s students are parents and live alone, having overcome challenges, struggles and misperceptions Mark never encountered growing up. They are treated like adults because they are.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“There are not many programs for alternative education that stand out right now,” says Mark, whose students are the first to produce a regular news-blog for their school district, “and I hope the exposure with the Brock Prize will facilitate that.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Mark was 40 years old when he came to North Heights. Prior to that, he taught at <a href="http://www.actx.edu/" style="border: 0px; color: #ae2f42; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">Amarillo College</a>and <a href="http://www.tamu.edu/" style="border: 0px; color: #ae2f42; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">Texas A&M University</a>, and since he was a child, he recalls a disenchantment with the education system, much like many of his students today. Mark, who says he was an at-risk student throughout high school and college, teaches the way he would want to be taught. His ideas were met with resistance at first, but he continued to persist and move forward with his students because it felt right.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<img align="left" class="padding10" src="http://amarillomagonline.com/~amamagups/Dec2012/mark%20embed%202.jpg" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 10px;" /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“They are me,” he professes.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Withstanding a period of hesitance from his fellow teachers and administrators, Mark’s system is now commended, and his modern approach isn’t just impacting students and teachers at North Heights.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“Our only model is how we were taught so we march back in as a new teacher and we line up those desks and stand in front and we start imparting knowledge,” Stacey explains. “Well Mark doesn’t do that. Mark changes the paradigm for us. And many other teachers in Amarillo are doing that, too.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Mark’s method is what he calls “creative disobedience,” meaning he wants his students to understand that answers are not limited to right and wrong. He encourages his students to be open to and accept failure, because unless they fail, they never tried, and if they never try, then they won’t succeed. He wants them to ask questions and break the rules. He’s the person who believes you should ask for forgiveness, and not for permission.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“I want them to find unique learning,” says Mark, whose student-created series of award-winning PSAs about digital citizenship and internet permanency, won the best school campaign in Texas. “I want them to capitalize on their unique backgrounds. I want them to create and innovate.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Students at North Heights, who dropped out of high school, who were expelled for cutting class, who would rather doodle in their notebooks and doze off than intently listen to an instructor, have embraced Mark’s teaching techniques and look forward to attending class every day. Mark realizes his students won’t learn from him reciting monotonous passages from a book, or demanding they memorize mathematical equations; they can find every fact and figure with a tap or swipe of their finger on a smart phone or iPad. Students need to be digitally fit in this day and age, he insists.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“He teaches students in 2012, for a life in 2012,” says Stacey, a former school principal. “Mark has figured out within four walls that still have the traditional desks… He’s figured out how not be limited by that. He’s figured out how to truly individualize instruction, so that every kid is heard. Every kid’s strengths and weaknesses are built upon and also erased. Weaknesses are erased and turned into strengths in Mark’s room.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Mark predicts more alternative education programs will follow in North Heights’ footsteps, not just in this area, but all around the country. Since he began teaching, he has witnessed a movement that revolves around student-centered learning. Not all students are compliant, guessing what circle to fill in on their true-or-false pop quiz, when they know they can easily look up the answer on the Internet.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“These kids are much more informed when they come to school than we ever were,” he declares. “They are much more intuitive toward technology. They come with a set of skills and background knowledge that we never came with. They won’t memorize. They have Google!”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<img align="left" class="padding10" src="http://amarillomagonline.com/~amamagups/Dec2012/mark%20embed%203.jpg" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 10px;" /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Mark says rigor, relevance and relationships maintain a student’s focus, and provide them with a lasting drive they will carry with them after high school. In his small-classroom setting of five to 10 students, Mark takes note of when students reveal their interests and finds a relevant form of teaching, ultimately building a relationship with his students based on respect and gratitude. And every day, those students thank Mark and reciprocate his passion by equally motivating and challenging him with their questions and ideas.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“If you find relevance with these students and you build relationships, they do not want to disappoint you. And they don’t want to disappoint themselves,” he adds.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Mark’s thinking is the way to move forward in education, Stacey agrees. Young adults and even children are so globally aware, and Mark’s system is the catalyst vital to the future of learning.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.75em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“It serves us to think like Mark is thinking,” Stacey concludes. “He really is a hero in our field.” </div>

The
Brock International Prize in Education, named for Oklahoma natives John and
Donnie Brock, is awarded annually and recognizes individuals who have made a
specific innovation or contribution resulting in a significant impact on the
practice or understanding of the field of education. <o:p></o:p></div>

honor,” <b>John Brock said</b>. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The
KIPP founders
were selected by a panel of nine jurors during a recent meeting in Stillwater,
Okla., where the Brock Prize is administered. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #2e2b2a;">Runner up for this valued and coveted recognition was Amarillo
teacher, Mark Williams. Mark Williams
is an English instructor at North Heights Alternative School. His recommendation was submitted by
juror, Lori Lamb. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #2e2b2a;">“Mark Williams clearly exemplifies all aspects of the Brock
Prize. He was the first
alternative educator in history to be nominated for the recognition.” Lamb continued with the accolades; “Mr.
Williams’ entry can be found on the site, it was an interactive technology
enriched portfolio that demonstrated the daily interventions offered for
student success.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #2e2b2a;">Principal Mark Leach also was heard nationally through his
compliments concerning the numerous project based activities that motivate the
North Heights students and was particularly complimentary concerning Mark
Williams’ ability to motivate students.
The commitment, preparation and innovation used by Mark Williams clearly
impressed the panel of jurors. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Students in Mark Williams’ classroom were recently
overheard: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"I love this school." </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"Can you believe how lucky we are?"</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"I was going to drop out." </div>

Mac and I had our Colorado Flyfishing:Where to Eat, Sleep and Fish book come out from Johnson Books and it has been selling well all year. I signed two more book deals, this time with new imprint Stonefly Press; one is secret but I'll reveal it down the line (it's big) and the other is the NM counterpart to the eat-sleep-fish book. We are going over the final details for the University of New Mexico Press coffee table book, 49 Trout Streams of Southern Colorado (photo heavy but fun text too) and this book will be out in Spring 2012. <br />
<br />
Mac and I finished a book last year for an unnamed publisher but they're holding the book so we're in deliberations. After I finish these two Stonefly Press books, I'll have 18 under my belt. Back in 1989 when I first started writing, I wasn't sure I'd ever get one. <br />
<br />
At North Heights, we completed the Amarillo tourism app and are waiting to publish it. We also have a new multimedia studio in my room. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zmxfBbdPQDo/TwChaZo8hwI/AAAAAAAAAbM/XDEvFmP9rKU/s1600/Flyfishing+summer+%252707+231b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zmxfBbdPQDo/TwChaZo8hwI/AAAAAAAAAbM/XDEvFmP9rKU/s320/Flyfishing+summer+%252707+231b.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>My Dallas Mavericks won their first championship, my Texas Rangers got to the World Series for their second year in a row and my Cowboys disappointed again. Amy enjoyed a year of writing and modeling for Gap's Athleta line, my little Athleta Girl. Fished a lot including Valle Vidal, all of southern Colorado. <br />
<br />
I also have a book with my agent that I think is killer --- Dealbreaker. Think of all the things a potential partner might do or be or have that would be dealbreakers. That's the book. <br />
<br />
I have the best friends but I made a lot of friends, both in person and online. I look forward to this next year.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6641783547201703744.post-11009064144267243572011-12-07T20:33:00.000-06:002011-12-07T20:33:21.846-06:00Amy's Latest Athleta Article<a href="http://www.athleta.net/chi/2011/12/07/heart-health/">http://www.athleta.net/chi/2011/12/07/heart-health/</a><br />

The toughest part wasn't collecting information (meaning 'fishing') or taking photographs of all the streams (meaning 'fishing') but deciding which of the hundreds of streams and rivers made the final list. This book is for University of New Mexico Press, due out in the spring and will have 3-7 color pics for each selected river.

Amy and I are staying for a couple of weeks in Santa Fe to research a guidebook on the City Different. We are writing it for University of New Mexico Press.<br />
<br />
I like writing with Amy. She's a great shutterbug (and she just got a new camera -- a Nikon d3100) and a diligent researcher and is as pretty as the scenery. <br />
<br />
So we're doing this book. We got invited to stay at Casa Olivia, a Kokopelli Real Estate and Property Management property. Amy and I have traveled the world and stayed in some pretty impressive places. Enchantment Resort in Sedona. Hotel Aiguablava in Costa Brava, Spain. Various hotspots in British Virgin Islands. And the list goes on. But it stops here. <br />

Understated but elegant. We pulled up in the driveway and thought, <i>surely this isn't it, it's way way too nice for us. </i>Nearly 3000 square feet.<br />
This fabulous East side adobe home was originally built in the 1870's and was completely restored and remodeled in 2007. Located less than one block from historic Canyon Road and short walking distance to the downtown Plaza area. Across the street from the Santa Fe River, this home is ideal for scenic walks and meditation. The spacious vacation rental features four bedrooms and three baths. The main level master and guest bedrooms have separate bathrooms. Sleeps nine with an additional two on the pull-out couch. The kitchen and breakfast table area open into the dining room; a perfect set-up for entertaining and family gatherings. The comfortable living room has a large fireplace and generous seating space. The lower level offers privacy with a separate living area with two bedrooms and bath.

If you were to design the perfect Williams Family Home, this is it. Walking distance to the Plaza. Great eats and art and parks all around. We don't want to leave. <br />
<br />
Kokopelli Real Estate and Property has more than 100 properties. Sure, it's fun to stay at La Posada or La Fonda or Don Gaspar but here's the thing -- stay in Santa Fe for a few days. Stay at a condo or house and split the costs with a fellow couple or family and enjoy the washing machine, the kitchen, the grounds, the privacy. The decor is more real (is that a legit term? you know what I mean) Comfortable elegance. Rugged richness. Santa Fe splendor. You get what i mean, right? Spoiled but on my terms. <br />
<br />
I am not leaving. Squatter's rights!!!!<br />

Next week, Mac and I'll be putting up an opportunity to win a book of ours (Colorado Flyfishing: Where to Eat Sleep and Fish) and my flyfishing app. More on that later.
