The genius of TFA is that they've figured out a way to screen for some of the other traits that matter to effective teaching. Unfortunately, as is often the case in our field, rather than replicate or learn from that people are still mostly attacking it...in our industry if you build a better mousetrap you either get an argument about mice or they just come to your door and burn down your house...
In an era of reduced resources and increased expectations, schools are overlooking the most obvious and effective solution to both challenges: enlisting community leaders as true partners in education. That's what I write about.

Great quote on education
A great line from Andy Rotherham (a.k.a. Eduwonk) in a post about Teach For America (TFA):
There are various banks and online moneylenders that offer you a private credit. Each private source has its own particular charge and reimbursement arranges understudy credit loan fee. Simply ensure before making application for this kind of credit, check the establishment deliberately. check cashing
