In March, a group of five education reform-minded Yale undergrads, who had won first prize and $25,000 in cash in the Yale Entrepreneurial Society's 50K competition, published the inaugural edition of Our Education, a journal of education reform put out by the student-led nonprofit "Students for Teachers." [For the Gadfly's review of this journal, go to http://www.edexcellence.net/gadfly/issue.cfm?issue=15#267.] This week, the group launched a new website as part of a movement "to reassert education as a national priority" and to give students a "forum to demand better schools." The site itself is designed to "serve as a comprehensive clearinghouse for the student movement in education reform" and includes information about the latest education reform news, the latest edition of their quarterly journal, surveys of student opinions about education reform, and an online forum where students can discuss teacher and school reform.
