Along with his wife, Patty Carratello—a former Riverside County Teacher of the Year—he’s published over 100 educational products, including classroom instructional materials, seminars and support materials for interactive educational software. In 2016, he retired from teaching elementary school after 30 years. His new book, Test Education vs. Best Education: Let’s Save Our Children from a Bad Idea, outlines the nonprofit project Masterpieces of Learning that focuses on using the knowledge of experts worldwide in developing a new program of instruction for elementary education.
