Daniel F. Bassill, D.H.L., of Chicago, Il, USA has been using CmapTools and concept maps since 2006 to map strategies that leaders could follow to help youth born in high poverty areas move through school and into jobs and careers, and to map the information he has aggregated on Tutor/Mentor Connection and Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC web sites since 1998.
Dan’s goal is that leaders from many sectors create versions of his strategy Cmap, with their own photo at the top, to show their own commitment to this strategy. Information collected is shared in many ways and is intended to be used by groups of people to support their own efforts to help youth in their communities, as is shown on this Cmap.
Dan seeks partners in institutions who will not only help update and improve the maps, but who will use other tools to help communicate the ideas so that they are used by leaders in many places.
Dan posts links to these maps from each of this web sites, such as www.tutormentorexchange.net.
