Picked-up edpieces from the edworld:
The Strive Partnership gets still more positive press in a short Education Sector write-up about a report on community-wide education accountability which I look forward to reading in whole. Strive, Promise Neighborhoods, Harlem Children's Zone, etc. Will be interesting to see what sort of critiques the report puts forward. The burgeoning writing on Strive is almost all breathless--perhaps for good reason, it's a cool new model, but one gets concerned with anything that looks (or is portrayed as) too perfect.
Incisive post at Eduwonk on Boston Teacher Residency teachers' effectiveness, and how it relates to larger rhetoric about in-district vs. out-of-district approaches to teacher development. btr vs. tfa and what it says about standards, bigger issues, etc. as always cuts to the bone.
Coach G has a good piece on the role of making errors. Whole set of other implications for ESOL classrooms, but that's for another day. Time to go outside and play; it's like 30 degrees warmer than usual for the 30th straight day.
