? Well, for 2010 in any case.
And, ne'er you fret. Gadfly brought the Year of the Tiger home in style. You'll read predictions for education reform in 2011 from Mike ?The Seer? Petrilli. (Spoiler alert: One is that Cathie Black will be gone by Easter!) You'll also get a recap of the big moves made in the world of Ohio education reform this past year (think Race to the Top and the election)?and what that all might mean for the annum to come.
For those who have had enough of the forecasts and summaries, this week's Gadfly features a curriculum piece by guest editorialist Robert Pondiscio, of the Core Knowledge blog. And he's got something to say about Michelle Rhee. We also talk shop on the omnibus appropriations bill stalled in Congress, and dissect what the Common Core standards mean for teacher preparation programs (hopefully, good things!).
If report reviews are more your style, we've got a breakdown of the life and times of Race to the Top from the AEI shop, a proposed renaissance of federal charter policy, and an analysis of exactly what ?cafeteria-style? benefits packages would look like for teachers.
So, head over to our Gadfly page now and check it out. Or, better yet, head here and sign up to receive the Gadfly in your inbox each week.
All the best to you and yours this holiday season!
