There is nothing more meaningful than having an expert help solve a real world problem in the classroom.

In my science classroom, would invite an engineering expert to discuss how force and motion affect airplane designs.  Who would I invite?  My father-in-law!  He works for Boeing and he uses this information in his airplane designs.

In my ELA classroom, I would invite a mystery writer who I met at a book study club.  She always wants to talk to young people about writing styles but no one ever invites her.
