The Effect of Increased Collaboration Among the Library Media Specialist and School Personnel on Perceptions of the Roles and Responsibilities of the Library Media Specialist
Date: August 1999
Creator: Beaird, Marilyn Miller
Description: This study measured and explored changes in perceptions of the roles and responsibilities of the library media specialist when the level of collaboration increased. Seven library media specialists targeted four members of their educational communities with whom to increase collaborative activities. Before and after the collaboration began, the library media specialists, the teachers with whom they chose to collaborate, other members from the same educational community, and a control group that did not participate in increased collaboration were given a roles and responsibilities rank-order form. This form was used to measure changes in perceptions regarding the importance of the three roles and selected responsibilities related to the three roles before and after the collaborative experience. The library media specialists and the targeted teachers also kept reflection logs to record factors that enhanced collaboration, factors that inhibited collaboration, and any changes in their teaching style as a result of the collaborative experience. Results indicate that the participating library media specialists themselves experienced the most change. Role identification remains a problem as library media specialists seek to become teaching partners with classroom teachers yet still must keep the library media center aligned with school and district goals and move toward making it ...

Current and Future Trends in Computer Use in Elementary School Settings
Date: August 1999
Creator: Al-Awidi, Hamed M.
Description: The study examined current and future trends in computer use in elementary school settings. A survey instrument was developed and validated for distribution to a random sample of 200 technology coordinators in the public school districts in the state of Texas from whom 95 responses were received. The survey instrument was used to obtain information about five areas of computer use in elementary schools. These areas are: physical configurations, instructional uses, implementation issues, training and staff development, and Internet use. The study found that all public school districts that participated in the study have acquired computer hardware in their elementary schools. In addition, some other advanced computer technology components are starting to be found in elementary schools, such as teacher workstations, CD-ROM, interactive video, computer multimedia, LCD panels, and laser printers. Respondents reported that elementary school teachers in their districts have incorporated computers into their classrooms as an instructional tool and many changes have occurred in teachers teaching styles due to computers. However, there are some problems that hinder the effective use of computers. The major problem is lack of training. A high percentage of respondents, 81.3%, indicated that the majority of their elementary school teachers had completed less than ...

Factors related to technology implementation of K-12 principals and teachers.
Date: August 2006
Creator: Moses, Rhonda René
Description: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between principals' leadership styles and principals'/teachers' implementation of technology. The Leadership Effectiveness and Adaptability Description (LEAD) Self was used to identify the primary and secondary leadership styles of principals. The Level of Technology Implementation (LoTi) Questionnaire was used to identify the level of technology implementation (LoTi), personal computer use (PCU) and current instructional practice (CIP) scores for both teachers and principals. Data collected from 390 K-12 teachers and 22 principals of three large suburban districts in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex was included in data analysis. The findings suggest that differing leadership styles do play a role in the LoTi, PCU, and CIP scores among teachers. Based on descriptive statistics it was determined that teachers with "participating" principals had higher mean LoTi and PCU scores than those with "telling" and "selling" principals. The difference in the mean PCU scores was statistically significant (p<.05) for teachers with "selling" and "participating" principals. Results also showed there was a statistical significance (p<.05) in the mean PCU and CIP scores of teachers working for principals with weak and high adaptability. Due to the low number of principals participating in this study, there is a need ...

An exploration of the relationships among teacher efficacy, collective teacher efficacy, and teacher demographic characteristics in conservative Christian schools.
Date: August 2006
Creator: Egger, Karen J.
Description: The purpose of this study was to determine whether teachers' perceptions of self-efficacy and collective teacher efficacy are interrelated and how these two constructs may be impacted by teacher demographic characteristics, such as educational level, grade level taught, and number of years of teaching experience. This study focused entirely on the interrelationships of teacher efficacy and collective teacher efficacy in three suburban, conservative Christian schools in north Texas. Specifically, the demographic characteristics of age, gender, ethnicity, particular school campus, number of years teaching, number of years teaching at the current school, highest degree received, type of teacher certification, certification grade level and subject area, grade level taught, and particular subject taught were studied for the non-random, convenience sample of 216 kindergarten through twelfth grade teachers. A correlational analysis of teacher efficacy and collective teacher efficacy yielded a Pearson r of .35 at a statistically significant level (p < .01); combining these two variables with teacher demographic variables in multiple regression analyses confirmed the relationship between teachers' perceptions of teacher efficacy and collective efficacy at a statistically significant level (p < .001). A review of the squared structure coefficients in the first multiple regression analysis (R2 = .284, p < .001) ...

The impact of language planning and policy on high school long-term English language learners in a selected north Texas urban district.
Date: December 2007
Creator: Piña-Hinojosa, Isabella
Description: Language policy reform movements have increased accountability in order for schools to improve student achievement and measure the progress of English language learners. The number of English language learners (ELLs) has grown significantly in the school population, yet the level of academic achievement for this population continues to lag. Language planning and policy provide critical decisions about how to measure what students know in all subjects. In 1999, the 76th Texas Legislature approved the assessment of the state curriculum to account for student learning while nationally the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) requires assessment and accountability to measure what students know. Long term English language learners (LTELs) in high school are of particular concern because they have not been able to meet standards on the state's assessments. These assessments are used for national NCLB accountability under Annual Yearly progress (AYP) indicators, the state's accountability and the Texas graduation criteria. The purpose of this study has been to examine the impact of educational language planning and policy on LTELs who have lived and attended US schools for more than four school years.

The implementation of international education in colleges and universities in the state of Texas: A follow-up study.
Date: May 2005
Creator: Hodges, Sarah
Description: This study is a follow-up to a study completed by Dr. Thomas Barker in 1994 entitled The Status of the Implementation of International Education in Texas Four-year Colleges and Universities: A Comprehensive Study. A survey of 35 Texas universities and 6 out-of-state benchmark universities revealed information regarding the international programs at these universities in four areas. The four areas surveyed include: (a) administrative, (b) instructional, (c) international student support services, and (d) outreach. A summary of the survey results includes 34 tables detailing the university responses for the 2004 survey compared with the responses obtained from the original, Barker (1994). The results from the 2004 participating benchmark institutions were also reviewed. Texas universities continue to work toward the internationalization of the curriculum with increased numbers supporting an international focus in their mission statements and staffing patterns. Benchmark institutions continue to lead Texas institutions in a majority of areas surveyed. Funding for international education continues to be an issue for both the benchmark and Texas institutions. Changes in attitudes and immigration policies continue to affect the implementation of international programs on the university level. While universities continue to provide support to community and businesses in the area of international education, the ...

Parental decision-making regarding their child's participation in a middle-school talent search.
Date: May 2005
Creator: Ray, Janet
Description: The present study sought to identify variables that predicted parental decision-making regarding their child's participation in a national gifted and talented identification program for middle school students and subsequent participation in recommended educational options. One hundred sixty-nine parents of students who qualified for either the 2001-2002 or 2002-2003 Duke Talent Identification Program participated in the study. The students were drawn from two large public school districts and six small private schools in a large metropolitan area in the southwestern United States. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were used to identify the variables predictive of parental decision-making regarding talent search participation. Each parent completed a questionnaire consisting of both multiple-choice and open-ended questions. Selected parents participated in structured follow-up interviews. The results of the study indicated that parental perception of the helpfulness of school personnel in explaining the purpose and process of the talent search was most predictive of participation in the talent search. The educational level of the father, parent's prior awareness of the purpose and process of talent search, and the number of enrichment activities in which the child had previously participated were also predictive of talent search participation. Qualitative data indicated that parents of both participants and nonparticipants ...

A Chronological Study of Experiential Education in the American History Museum
Date: December 2007
Creator: Cook, Bettye Alexander
Description: This study traced the evolution of experiential education in American history museums from 1787 to 2007. Because of a decline in attendance, museum educators need to identify best practices to draw and retain audiences. I used 16 museology and history journals, books, and archives of museums prominent for using the method. I also interviewed 15 museum educators who employ experiential learning, one master interpreter of the National Park Service, and an independent museum exhibit developer. Experiential education involves doing with hands touching physical materials. Four minor questions concerned antecedents of experiential learning, reasons to invest in the method, the influence of social context, and cultural pluralism. Next is a review of the theorists whose works support experiential learning: Dewey, Piaget, Vygotsky, Lewin, Bruner, Eisner, Hein, and David Kolb plus master parks interpreter Freeman Tilden. The 8 characteristics they support include prior experiences, physical action, interaction with the environment, use of the senses, emotion, social relationships, and personal meaning. Other sections are manifestation of experiential learning, transformation of history museums, and cultural pluralism in history museums. The research design is descriptive, and the procedure, document analysis and structured interview. Findings are divided by decades after the first 120 years. Social context, ...

Perceptions of preparedness and practices: A survey of teachers of English language learners.
Date: December 2007
Creator: Matson, Jill Lynn
Description: Mainstream teachers who obtained their English as a second language (ESL) certification by exam only are faced with increasing numbers of English language learners (ELLs) in their classrooms. Decreasing standards for teacher ESL certification and increasing accountability for ELLs has made teachers' role in effectively increasing the language and academic skills of ELLs an area of major concern. This study used a survey and focus group interviews to obtain information regarding ESL-certified fourth- and fifth-grade teachers' perceived preparedness, practices and resources needs related to meeting the academic and language needs of ELLs in general education classrooms. The results indicated that teachers reported differences in their perceived preparedness based on years teaching experience, years of ESL certification, professional development hours, and university ESL courses, but not on certification route. The results also showed that teachers reported differences in their sheltered instruction practices based on the percentage of ELLs, but not on grade, instructional design, or preparedness. The correlation analysis revealed there is a positive correlation between preparedness and sheltered practices. The study revealed that while teachers are using strategies that make content lessons accessible and comprehensible to ELLs, they are often not specifically addressing the academic language development of their students. ...

Students As Historians: The Historical Narrative Inquiry Model's Impact on Historical Thinking and Historical Empathy
Date: December 2007
Creator: Colby, Sherri Rae
Description: The dissertation explores middle-school students' abilities to engage in historical thinking. I dispute the Hallam-Piaget model, which discourages analytical thinking through the assumption that children lack skills to think critically about history. My historical narrative inquiry model (1) teaches procedural knowledge (the process of "doing" history); (2) enhances interpretative skills; (3) cultivates historical perspectives based upon evidentiary history; and (4) encourages student authorship of historical narratives. In the fall semester of 2006, with a classroom of twenty-five seventh-graders, I initiated a research study designed to explore the impact of the historical narrative inquiry model through a sequence of thirty-two lessons. The lessons involved small- and large-group activities, including oral presentations, discussions about primary documents, and consideration of the relation between narratology and the creation of written history. Students generated their own historical narratives in order to articulate their perspectives. Eight students having varied reading-level proficiency served as primary participants in the study. Each of these students received pre- and post-intervention interviews. Outcomes reflected the enhancement of pedagogy intended to facilitate historical thinking and historical empathy in the classroom.

Nora L Hill Tidwell
Do you know who Nora L Hill Tidwell's parents were? I am looking for the daughter or other children of Amanda Jan Ritchie Hill Yandell. Amanda is also buried in the same cemetery and I am wondering if that is the reason that she is buried in this cemetery. She is supposed to have died in Sabastian County, Arkansas, but buried in Spiro Oklahoma. She was, according to what I have found, married to my great grandfather, Samuel Yandell, and although I know that he died in Texas in 1938, I have been unable to find where he was buried, or why he was in Texas and his wife was elsewhere, or perhaps she was also in Texas and returned after his death.--there is always something more to learn. I am even wondering if there was another Samuel Yandell, but have not found one in Logan County, Arkansas, Thanks, Loneta Boyer

A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
This book is not a bad book. It is reasonably entertaining as pop psychology, but pointless. This book is a sideshow and a stand up comedy routine. It is a pop tart, sweet but unsatisfying. It is a distraction, nothing more. Read it on the beach.
I liked the book - really entertaining. I was often laughed. You have to have some intellect, some knowledge of statistics and definitely scene of humor in order to enjoy it. The book definitely makes you to think out of box. If you are too serious about Freakonomics you should probably read "Economics For Dummies".
There are lies, damn lies and statistics. This book uses false statistics to prove false analogies. If you ever took basic university math, that is the first thing you are warned NOT to do. Sad that such books are published with so much uncritical publicity
I've never taken any formal economics classes, and this book was just plain odd. There was nothing about money or the economy, just instances in which the authors used statistics to attempt to prove truly random things. That being said, it was interesting, and I will probably read the sequel.
It is both interesting and pertinent that many commenters compared this to Malcolm Gladwell, an author who used many long-invalidated studies (Eysenck's many studies, that tobacco study by the tobacco companies, etc.) in his book (I believe it was the "Tipping Point"). Also, these are U.Chi guys, right? Econ is a magical mystery tour with those misinformation specialists there. No, one really won't learn anything from this book on real economics, only what the U.Chi guys want you to know, just as with Gladwell's book being based upon studies which had been invalidated long ago - - baloney is still baloney, regardless of the spread.
High praise for all efforts made by Stetson Kennedy
Easy read, interesting stories. Very similar to Malcolm Gladwell in the way that the writing is super accessible and anecdotal. I like it, but it didn't blow my mind.
This is a fantastic book that uses Economic theories and tools to identify and measure social issues. It makes some really controversial statements based on the findings of the authors who interpret their findings in an ingenious way. In our society there are many theories that have become fact. The authors turn those perceived truths on their head. If you enjoy Malcolm Gladwell books then you will probably enjoy this book too.
Awesome book. The author forces you to look at the world from a different perspective. For someone without any scientific/analytical training, the analyses in this book may be eye-opening. For someone with some scientific/analytical training, the analyses may not be as eye-opening, but the author's use of common sense certainly adds to the intelligent discussion.
Whether a fiction reader, or non fiction reader this book is fantastic. Just small article like chapters about a great variety of subjects. Wittily written, and very enjoyable. You are sure to enjoy, and learn!!

Eggciting News
Sorry about the terrible egg pun but you'll never believe what we discovered in my bike helmet out in the garage. Granted, it does demonstrate that we haven't been out riding as often as we should but…
There's a bird's nest in there. And it's not an abandoned old one, it's currently in use! Sorry for the blurry photo (taken by Sherry as she teetered on a ladder to get a quick shot before "scaring them").
And a few hours after our discovery we actually saw the momma bird warming her eggos (no more picture-taking ensued as we didn't want to spook our new feathered friend). Isn't it funny that a bird would go through all the trouble to build a nest inside of a helmet in our detached garage? We think she's getting in by squeezing under the seal at the base of the garage door (there aren't any other openings and we doubt she's waiting for us to raise the door to fly in since she probably needs a bit more control than that).
Have any of you guys ever made any exciting animal kindgom discoveries? Perhaps you found a beehive in your basement or a bat in your attic? Does anyone have a skunk mishap to toss into the pot? Or a squirrels gone wild tale? Do tell.

I love to bird watch in my backyard. This week I had a baby mocking bird running around trying to fly while the parents fussed at me and our dogs for being around. Also saw a pretty cardinal bathe in the birdbath. Yesterday I watched some robins build a nest in the tree by our patio. We've already had a dove nest outside the back door. Captured some cool photos of the baby from the kitchen window and caught some of the robins with their mouths full of nesting grass. Birds are amazing to me.
Aw. How cute! I can't ever bring myself to disturb a bird's nest either but there's usually a HUGE mess afterwards!
One evening as I went out the back door, something caught my eye right in front off me on top of the grape arbor. Straining my eyes, I could see a big fat raccoon tiptoe-ing but frozen mid step with glowing eyes looking at me. His pose was comical and then he ran a way but we do have to keep our garbage cans locked tight with home-made raccoon proof closures. Cute but pesky.
That is so-o cool!
Ha Ha I have lots of stories of babies being born in funny places. My family owes a building stone/landscaping yard so we have lots of room which brings in lots of furry friends!
This spring alone we have have kittens born in a pile of boulders, a nest on top of a pile of pea gravel, and a hidden nest on pallet of stone.
We flag the nests so we keep clean with equipment but the kittens are harder to keep safe. If you click on my blog link you can read the story of what happen this week with a kitten born out at my family's store. It is a lesson for all to NOT LITTER!
That is so cute! I loved finding bird's nests around my parents' big yard when I was young. I can't say I've ever seen one like that though- I love it!
My latest "animal kingdom discovery" was a BAT flying into my apartment a couple weeks ago out of the chimney! It was quite the adventure- boyfriend, cat, and I were all scared to death! It ended up snoozing above my door the entire night and my landlord had to come get him out the next day!
What a fun discovery. We have a family of gardner snakes living under the mulch under one of our trees. They creap me out but I know they are harmless. Just this morning there were two kittens crawling on our basement window screen, I tried to go see them but they scampered away the moment they saw me:(
I had a mother bird make a nest at the top of the summer wreath I had on my front door. I actually blocked off the stoop for a few days because momma birds are notoriously skittish around the time that their babies fledge (leave the nest) and may abandon them at that time if they feel threatened.
It was awfully cute to come home and see Momma sitting on her nest on my front door for a couple of weeks. Those babies grow up awfully quickly! It seemed like one day there were fuzzy little bumblebee-sized hatchlings and the next, they were wearing little brown feather suits and were almost ready to fly. I left my house one morning and made a mental note to take a photo of them later that day, only to find an empty nest when I returned. But I did see young birds practicing flight at my neighbor's roofline the next day, and I think that was them.
We had a beehive in the soffit above our kitchen window. We didn't discover it until bees started coming into our house through the can light above the sink. Sadly, we ended up having to cut a hole in our kitchen ceiling and we (ok, the exterminator) cut out about 40 pounds of honeycomb and honey from the attic area. It was quite an experience.
I LOVE that discovery. So amazing to see the wee eggs in there.
We have a chickadee family that nests inside a hole in our one of the trunks of our lilac tree. They are adorable.
Just the other day I went outside to put our old produce where I feed the wild rabbits (which is near our back porch). While on the stairs on my way in I looked to my right and less than a foot away hanging in the tree was a gigantic black snake. Even though I do tend to over react about size, my snake love husband came out to catch and even said it was about 6 feet long and as fat as a coke can! Oh my! I am always on my toes when outside now!
I had the same thing happen! A sparrow decided that my step-dad's helmet was a great place to build a nest! We keep our bikes suspended upside down from the ceiling and the helmets hang from the strap from the handle bars. So I guess she thought it was already nest like enough for her. We try not to let animals live in our garage because when they get shut in they try to get out the window, which is closed but we aren't really sure how to move the nest so I guess it'll just have to stay in there.
We had baby robins in a nest in the backyard. They were fun to watch. Before the eggs hatched, the mom would dive bomb us every time we went outside.
Not as adorable was the possum that took to our crawl space. It was enough for him/her to hang out under the house. He/she managed to crawl into a small hole around the shower plumbing and then into the wall behind the shower. Either the possum left a baby behind or failed to clean up after dinner, because our bathroom smelled like death for about a week or two. The fat, black corpse flies that followed were even worse. It was our own personal Amityville Horror for a while. Since then we have blocked all critter access to our crawl space.
It's so neat here. We're close enough to the beach and city yet sort of in a bit of a hilly park-like neighborhood with a baranca and 2 large regional parks nearby. We've seen raccoons, coyotes, rabbits, Red-Tailed Hawks, and we have a resident squirrel that my dog likes to terrorize! The birds in the tall Eucaliptus behind my house sound like the birdies in 1950's Cinderella! I love seeing all of the little creatures around!
We just found 3 snakes in 3 weeks this past Spring. Not the animal (reptile, whatever) that I wanted to find. And they weren't grass snakes. Apparently they arn't harmful snakes, but I couldn't care less about harm, I don't like them. There was one in the garage, but in the landscaping by the front door, and one on the driveway.
My in-laws recently had a bird build a nest on top of their patio heater. And then they discovered a hummingbird nest in a little tree on their front patio. We think it's because we sent our cockatiel to live with them when it kept waking up the baby – he's attracting all the other birds!
And – a friend in high school once had a squirrel living in his truck. They happily coexisted for a few months.
We have multiple bird nests under our deck. We had a few bats in the attic of our old house. My parents once had a duck in their chimney. And my mom had a pet skunk as a kid.
on a side note… so sad you guys didnt win the challenge :(
After a picnic a few years ago we went to throw the trash in the dumpsters. We were surprised by two fat raccoons laying in the garbage. They just looked up at us. Chillin'
I once had a bird build a nest in a fern hanging by my front door. It was in an apartment and the nest was still active when I moved out so I left it there.
We had a nest underneath a window AC unit! We didn't know it until we went to move it out before our remodel started. There were baby birds and everything. We never checked on it, for hopes of having momma return. And now I don't know if she ever did. But I'm hoping she did. The nest was abandoned afterwards, as I checked on it in the winter.
We have a bird that nests in the top of our chimney every spring. No worries – she's gone by the time we need to use it in the winter. Sometimes she even flies down the chimney into the fireplace and we can hear her flying around in there. She always leaves after a few minutes. It makes me smile. It makes my cat crazy!
We also had a possum in our crawl space–came home from work one day and it smelled like something died in our house. The hubs is in charge of all things related to the crawl space. So he crawled around down there and came out with a dead possum. Yuck.
More recently, we have had carpenter bees making a nest in one of the rungs of our porch railing. I never thought they could make a nest in such a narrow piece of wood, but they would disappear down inside the thing. We had to get that taken care of!!
Off topic, but I was still able to vote today. I thought the contest ended yesterday.
OMG, that is too cute and funny! We had a bunnies nest built in a small hole in our back lawn. I was so afraid that my husband accidently mowing over it, that I put large objects next to it to protect it. They are so adorable. I took a pic a couple of weeks ago…its on my blog here: http://in-time-out.blogspot.com/2009/05/week-20-project-365-and-some-cards.html
Yes! I have two stories…First, I had a robin that built a nest overnight (literally) in the wreath hanging on my front door! It had 3 tiny blue eggs. I made everyone go through the garage until the eggs hatched and the babies flew away. Second, I had a family of quail build a next and hatch 13 (yes, 13!) babies in the gravel under my stairs. I obsessed about those babies and cried when they all left. I grieved for days. :)
Oh yes, I have already had a bird make a nest (no eggs though) in my new decoration on our front door. Last year I was hearing noises in my walls and come to find out we had squirrels having a "party" in our attic stomping down all the insulation. Found the hole, plugged it up and ruined the good time of those party animals.

Four stories every business must build
Reprinted from Ducttapemarketing.com. See the original post here.
By John Jantsch
Stories build commitment. They allow us to go on journeys in search of our best self. They entertain, simplify, and inspire. They are easy to share. Great leaders are often great storytellers.
The power of story as a business building and marketing tool is undeniable. A simple story can draw upon our emotional desires in ways that reams and reams of logical data never will.
While an uplifting story or even a tragic story can capture the listener's interest, the real power of storytelling in business is that it permits a business to illustrate values and beliefs in action.
It's one thing to say we're trustworthy and quite another to share a story about the day your employees went without a paycheck because they so believed in what you were building and trusted you would make things right when you recovered from this unforeseen challenge.
I believe that every business must find and tell their core stories over and over again and then they must invite their employees, customers and networks to help build these stories into journeys worth taking over and over again.
Below are four core stories that must live in every business
The Passion Story
This is often the owner's story, a tale of why they started the business, how the business serves their own personal mission or purpose in life. Why they get up and go to work, why they love what they do or what happened in life that set them on their current path.
The interior of the Grand Jury hearing room was anything but grand. It consisted of a handful of plastic chairs arranged in a way that made the jurists feel more like an audience than a court appointed arm of the United States Justice Department. Although I distinctly remember the lights, maybe it was me, but they seemed awfully bright.
What could I possibly have to offer as a witness in a hearing determined to bring federal charges upon one of my clients? As it turned out I was very boring witness with nothing to offer the case, but it was a turning point in my business and perhaps my life.
In the effort to build my business I had taken on a client that I knew was doing things I couldn't support, that were counter to my own values, and I knew also in that moment that I would never again do business with a customer I didn't respect.
And that's part of my passion story. (To get the rest you need to buy the tell all book. Well, not really.)

Fast growing, climbable tree?
We have a large backyard, which has a 30'X40' spot that gets mostly sun during summer -- I haven't noted its exposure during winter. I'd love to plant a tree with a low and strong enough branching structure that my kids could enjoy climbing it. A fast grower would be a plus, and double (but low priority) bonus if it would get edible fruit. I have no idea or knowledge regarding growing trees, so any guidance and/or pointers would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
If you already have kids, you would have to buy an insanely expensive gigantic box tree and have it craned in to have any chance of them climbing it. Now if you are planning on having kids in 20 years then there might be some other options. Remember, safely climbable branches are to be 6 inches in diamerer.
Do NOT get a fast growing Silky Oak! Worst tree on the earth. I suggest a Fig tree. Verte! Fast growing, lots of branches, and delicious fruit. Tastes like strawberries! hard to find, but I have one. Easy to grow from cuttings, but try finding a rooted one. Big, fast growing, and tons of branches. It's the answer you want.
When I was a kid, we had an alder in our front yard that was planted when I was a baby, and in which, as I was growing up, I spent many hours at its top, looking over the roofs of the 1-story houses in our neighborhood and dreaming of flying. One of my favorite childhood memories.
The alder did have raised roots above the ground at its base. And as I recall, no grass grew below it...possibly because of the foot traffic at the base of the tree (a lot of the neighborhood kids climbed it, too), or because of the shade. But I wouldn't trade the fun of climbing it and the hours of wiling away the time imagining all kinds of things for grass below it and no roots.
Thank you for your replies.
I do realize that it may or may not be big enough in time for my kids to climb (they are 6, 4 and 2 yrs old right now.) But it seems like such a prime spot for a tree -- hopefully *somebody's* kids will enjoy it :-) I'm going to look into the Verte fig and Alder.
Let us know what you decide, anchita. I'm pulling for the alder! If I had the space for one, I'd plant one myself. Robert Fulghum, who wrote the well-known, "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten", also had some funny insights and observations about climbing trees in his other much appreciated book, "It Was on Fire When I Lay Down on It". In the book he reveals he still climbs trees as an adult...and gets some of his best ideas at the top of one. :)
A Pakistan Mulberry can grow a foot a month. Ours sure is. PLUS delicious fruit.
Pinterest is a fun place to search for ideas. Kids love tree houses! We actually have 3 large pines, and I'm thinking of putting a cool tree house with a ladder up there for the grand kids.
Have fun searching!
Yes, I just bought it yesterday, at Wegman's nursery in Redwood city. They had at least one more Pakistan mulberry, a few Persian mulberries and some form of a Weeping mulberry there as of yesterday afternoon.
Here is a link that might be useful: Wegman's
For my so Cal location I chose a London Plane. Planted LP Columbia four years ago. My 16 year old climbs it now. It has a nice "ladder" structure with regularly spaced limbs along a straight central trunk. It will be a couple more years before the limbs are thick enough to crawl out on, but a kid can go straight up like a ladder.

kinda sorta really neato. Your eyes dance around the illustration with all the other colors blending into the world of the other drawings around it! Very cool.
ball of plasma, a kind of urban camo was in my mind when I was creating this so it's intentional.
