		<title>Secretary of Ed on Teacher Prep, Again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This recent speech was posted on ED&#8217;s web site.  In it, Secretary Duncan criticizes teacher preparation programs.  He spoke:
In a speech last fall at the Teachers College at Columbia, I noted that education schools have long been treated as the Rodney Dangerfield of higher education. Colleges of education have traditionally been the institution that got [...]]]></description>

		<title>Declan&#8217;s Epic: A Boy and a Book</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When my wife and I waited to learn the sex of the child months ago, I recall the weight I felt on my shoulders as the doctor told us: it&#8217;s a boy.  A boy?  Immediately, I began rehearsing scenarios in my imagination.  The kinds of conversations all men have had but don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Really, Lenovo?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I saw this posting this morning in an Education Week email update.&#160; &#8220;Really?&#8221; I thought.&#160; It&#8217;s that explicit?&#160; How is an educator supposed to attend this webinar and not feel like they are being pitched to the whole time to buy Lenovo&#8217;s computers? Will Lenovo list fairly what its computers can and can&#8217;t do so [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dissertation Train Leaving the Station</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just moments ago, I submitted my second certification exam.&#160; It&#8217;s a fifty-page review of studies related to my own present and future work.&#160; In it, I ask a series of questions to guide the review: 
- Why don&#8217;t policymakers read educational research? - Why don&#8217;t researchers write for policymakers? - What gaps exist because policymakers [...]]]></description>

		<title>Help Move Education Forward (and me)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the past several weeks, the blog has been quiet.&#160; In part, that&#8217;s because I have a new son and am thoroughly enjoying being a father.&#160; It&#8217;s also because I&#8217;m at a bit of a crossroads with my doctoral research and hitting a bit of a wall. 
In the past, I had expected fully to [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Response to Michael Horn &amp; Disrupting Class</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was in the hospital with my new son one night a few weeks when I saw that one of the authors of Disrupting Class, Michael Horn, replied to my previous blog posting.&#160; My son is three weeks today; his father finally has a chance to reply to Horn.&#160; Horn wrote a comment to my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Merry Christmas!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wanted to take a moment to say thanks: thank you (that is, you, Reader) for supporting my work.&#160; I&#8217;ve been spotty over the last few weeks with the birth of my son, Declan.&#160; In the new year, I look forward to seeing how this new being in my life will jibe with the new [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Delivery Dilemma</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Secretary of Education Arne Duncan held a town meeting in which he demonstrates the problems with words like &#8220;creative&#8221; and &#8220;innovation&#8221; in conversations about policy.&#160; It always seems to stumble:
&#8220;We need to be much more creative and innovative in how we do things,&#8221; Duncan said. For instance, students today use cell phones and PDAs on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Let&#8217;s Privatize Education, NYS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The New York State Board of Regents has proposed that they improve schools in the state by lifting the cap on charter schools.&#160; They also suggest a serious effort to tie teacher pay to achievement.&#160; 
It&#8217;s not unfair to liken these proposals to a dance&#8211;a choreographed one set to the tune of the USDOE&#8217;s Race [...]]]></description>
