Do you have links to powerpoint slides that could be used for presentations? For example, in the Youtube video entitled “Brilliant anti-Common Core Speech by Dr. Duke Pesta” given a few months ago, more than once Dr. Pesta mentions that at the end of the talk he’d provide a link to the slides he was using, and then at the end, the video focuses on him, and not on the slide giving the links!
Yes we do have powerpoint slides available. Please email at [email protected]
