Good morning and welcome to a new year and a new look for the Fordham website, and a new approach to our blog. In the past Flypaper has served as the main and only blog for the Fordham team, allowing for a variety of voices to share their opinions on various topics in the ed-policy world. But we at Fordham believe that a group blog has its limits (i.e. as new posts get added every day, posts that are still timely and relevant get pushed to the bottom, making it difficult for the reader to keep up with the swarm of blog posts) so Fordham now has six separate blogs, each with their own authors, focusing on specific topics. Read Mike Petrilli’s explanation of the new blogs here for a better understanding of the new blog approach and what topic each new blog will focus on.
Most exciting out of this change for our small (but mighty!) team in Ohio is that we now have our own blog, Ohio Gadfly Daily. This blog, which will be co-authored by the entire Fordham-Ohio team (with occasional guests bloggers), will allow for keen insight into Ohio’s education policy scene, where we not only advocate for educational excellence for all students, but attempt to put those policies into action with the sponsorship of eight charter schools.
Be sure to stay tuned to Ohio Gadfly Daily for what is sure to be an exciting and busy year, and as always our Ohio Education Gadfly will continue to provide thoughtful and original analysis and commentary on all things relevant to K-12 education in the Buckeye State.
