Who is Dr. Doug Green?
I have been an educator since 1970. After teaching chemistry, physics, and computer science, I became an administrator for the next 30 years with experience at the secondary, central office, and elementary levels. I have also taught a number of leadership courses for The State University of New York at Cortland and Binghamton University and authored over 300 articles in computer magazines and educational journals. In 2006 I gave up my job as an elementary principal to care for my wife who had Lou Gehrig’s disease. After her death in March of 2009 I decided to see how I could use my expertise to help busy educators and parents hone their skills and knowledge.
DrDougGreen.Com is all about Bite-Sized Self-Development. It focuses on book summaries that present the main concepts of important books in about 15 paragraphs. I am active on Twitter, and when I find an interesting link or tweet, I post it in my Dr. Doug Mines the Net section. I post things I find myself, which includes free access to New York Times articles thanks to my subscription. On occasion I post my own work and ideas, and look forward to reader comments. Working educators and parents don’t always have time to read a lot, but I do. So this is my gift to our common mission to help all children learn. If you think I can help you or your district in any specific way please contact me so we can discuss the matter.

Dr. Green, What an amazing website! This will be an important resource for me.
You forgott to tell that you have a cousine in Sweden with a good knowledge of their beer.
Doug: I like your website.. Thanks for giving us information about books/articles you have read.
Very useful information, particularly book summaries.
I miss your music. a mole is a number like 7 or 4 like 12 is a dozen of eggs and no more
Hello! many thanks for the fantastic blog. stay the best!
Thanks for such an uplifting blog. I was widowed in 2001 and know something–but only a little something–of your experience as a caregiver. I have since remarried and found a different meaning in my life. Your cool pix on the boat is such an affirmation! Was not expecting this when I clicked open your blog. Thanks.
Doug,
This site is invaluable. The book summaries are a fantastic idea. Do you know of any other people who are doing things similar in creating book summaries? Or ways to find people. It seems there should be a massive demand for such summaries.
Also, do you have some rules/ method in creating your book summaries. The notes are fantastic and must be a useful part of absorbing the information from a book? If you have any answers are you able to post them on the blog or email me?
This is a terrific website. I’ll promote it all over. I hope you can handle the traffic! This is truly wonderful and timely. Navigating the world of education reform is difficult for even the most seasoned such as you. Therefore, you have empathy, I’m sure, for all the parents and young educators who are struggling to stay above water. Thank you!
Dr. DUG, very impressive website. Many people in and out of education will benefit from your many talents.you are a very unique individual with much to offer. It was a pleasure to work with you during your distinguished career.
Dr. Green, this website is awesome! Thanks for sharing today. I am already navigating around getting a lot of information for me as educator AND a mom of two toddlers!
Thank you for this gift!!
