Again filling the research void on collective bargaining and teacher governance, the National Council on Teacher Quality will hold a conference on March 26 entitled "Help or Hindrance? The Impact of Teacher Roles, Rules and Rights on Teacher Quality." It features five original papers, presented as the fruits of a competition to make the best use of NCTQ's database on collective bargaining rules and regulations. Judging the papers will be Steven Adamowski (Hartford Superintendent), Jane Hannaway (Urban Institute), Eric Hanushek (Hoover Institution), Susan Moore Johnson (Harvard University), Eugenia Kemble (Albert Shanker Institute), and Donald Langenberg (Chancellor Emeritus, University of Maryland). Which one is the "Simon" of the bunch? You'll have to attend to find out. You can find more information and register here.
