Check out news and commentary on the reform of American public education this weekend:
- What does Michael Holzman of the Schott Foundation for Public Education think about special education and its effects on young black men? Read the inaugural edition of Three Questions.
- Curious about what the dropout nation looks like? Check out this infographic.
- Learn about one of the underlying reasons why so many children — and young men — eventually drop out (hint: think books).
- Ever wonder why traditional education circles expect more insulation from layoffs and other recession-related dislocations than folks in the private sector? You are not alone.
- And listen to Dropout Nation Podcasts on improving reading comprehension of boys, stemming the dropout crisis, using school reform for building up economic power for black and Latino communities, and removing laggard teachers and the institutional practices, teacher union contracts and laws that protect them.
And check out Dropout Nation throughout the week.
