Radical Abundance
Radical Abundance
By Ana Kamilia Quijano
Last month, I attended the conference, Radical Abundance: A Theology of Sustainability, held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Through webcasts, we were able to participate in the Boston Trinity Institute’s conference held in New York City, and listen to the three presentations given by Timothy Gorringe, David Korten and Majora Carter. The common theme among all the speakers was their excitement in the inauguration of President Obama and his urgency in attending to the environmental issues faced by both the United States and the World.

It is intended to measure the grade level performance of individual students, schools and districts (http://www.doe.mass.edu). The MCAS is a tool the government uses to hold the schools and districts accountable for the progress in their schools.
