A listening post monitoring public education and teachers’ unions.

You have your choice today. For light entertainment, you can head over to Eduwonk and enter the Rename the No Child Left Behind Act contest (promoted in yesterday’s New York Times), vote in Education Week‘s teacher seniority poll, and play the Fordham Foundation’s Accountability Illusion Game.

For more serious fare, check out The Quick and the Ed for teacher pension incentives, and Alexander Russo‘s background story on the KIPP unionization drive in New York. The UFT put him in touch with a teacher who attended a meeting to discuss unionizing, but not with the teachers who called the meeting. Hmmm.
