  • RT @EdEquality @twodogszk @COEducation Great guest commentary @DenverPost about Colo.'s #RttT app. http://bit.ly/dllvti #edreform #
  • RT @MarcSean86: When are we going to stop punishing the students? Why stop? It is convenient and they can't even vote. #edreform #KCPS #
  • RT @Daniel_Luzer: Funding teacher training programs doesn't actually work: http://bit.ly/a8mmgR #TQ #edreform #
  • The answer isn't… Jim Horn. RT @CharterInsights: http://ow.ly/1iskh Who knows what a good teacher is? Lemov or Horn? #edreform #TQ #
  • Jay Mathews argues test data conceals fact that Alexandria's TC Williams is "great high school"; he would be incorrect. http://bit.ly/b13NZd #
  • In this case, he does make some good points: Williams just falls under the mark in several categories. But if it has been persistently… #
  • It means that the school needs to do better. In most cases outside of a TC Williams, most schools that are rated as failing are exactly so #
  • and by any statistical measure. Test data isn't perfect, but ultimately, it is a more objective measure than what has traditionally been #
  • used. Ed reporters need to embrace the use of numbers in their reporting and analysis and not accept every bit of hogwash arguing against it #

  • The Dropout Nation Podcast: Save Young Men
    On this week’s Dropout Nation Podcast, I take a look at the Schott Foundation’s report on black males and offer reminders that the achievement gap is not just one of race. All males, especially black and white males, are failing badly, with major consequences for America’s economy and society. It will take the reform of […]
  • Rewind: The Dropout Nation Podcast: Iron Forges Iron
    As you continue flipping through the Schott Foundation’s new report on the low graduation rates of black males (and the educational crisis threatening the futures of our young black men), listen to this rebroadcast of April’s Dropout Nation Podcast on what black men must do to help their sons and the younger men around them.
