Blogs and Websites

The Caucus of Rank and File Educators (CORE) teachers, retirees, Paraprofessional School Related Personnel (PSRPs), parents, community members and other champions of public education  fighting for equitable public education and to improve the Chicago Teacher’s Union (CTU).

Deborah Meier on Education public education teacher, principal, writer, advocate since the early 1960s, and among the most acclaimed leaders of the school reform movement in the U.S. She spent 45 years working in K-12th grade public schools in New York City (East Harlem) and Boston (Roxbury) including leadership of several highly successful small democratically run public urban schools–the Central Park East schools and Mission Hill. She has written many books, and is the recipient of well-deserved awards. She is a fierce defender of democratic schools.

Get Schooled with Maureen Downey an Atlanta blog with discussions about schools for parents and educators around the country.

Great Schools for America was started in 2009 by teacher Debby Mayer, and later with the addition of her colleagues Judy Eustice and Hazel Tribble. It’s still relevant and provides history about education reform and problems in public education. Archived information

Rosanne Wood is the campaign website of Rosanne Wood. Rosanne was principal SAIL (School for Arts and Innovative Learning) and has won awards for her advocacy for children.

NYC Educator is a blog primarily for New York City teachers, but has interesting topics pertinent to all teachers.

ProTeacher Community (PT) threads where teachers can find support for issues they face in the classroom. There is also a JOB SEARCH link. Mostly this site appears to be for early childhood and elementary school, but other areas like special education are included.

Stories from School: Practice Meets Policy is from Washington, amd there are quite a few teacher leader authors who contribute to this Blog and they also have an award sticker from the Washington Post, so I’m sold. But really the posts are interesting and cover new ground to consider.

Teachers for Social Justice (TSJ) is a Chicago organization of teachers, administrators, pre-service teachers, and other educators working in public, independent, alternative, and charter schools and universities in the Chicago area. They came together based on their commitment to education for social justice and their work to create diversity with  multicultural/multilingual classrooms. They want good, fair but caring education that provides students with the understanding to ask questions in the world. The group also works on campaigns and to assist educators in getting their voices into the discussion of school policy.

Teachers’ Letters to Bill Gates includes, “Educators from the U.S. and beyond” share there poignant teaching stories with Bill Gates. They tell how the education policies of the Gates Foundation have influenced their classroom, the students, their teaching schools and the communities. Archived information.

The education “report” released yesterday is a brochure produced by a non-VA company who’s entire goal is to remove money and students from public education.

We need to invest more into our public schools now, not less, to provide a quality education for every student in VA.
