Recently the newspapers and Internet have been full of information about
education. As a former classroom teacher and now an education advocate, I
have been thinking about power. Here are lots of powerful thoughts and
ideas.
There is the power of government, hard power and soft power. There is the
power of us. Teacher power is often only defined in terms of the unions.
Teachers often are cautious about their blogging and talking about
education, because as public servants, they are cautious in their
criticisms.
The new administration has thrown forth some gauntlets into education with
the power of our purses in the Race to the Top program. There is not much
controversy about the Dept. of Education wanting to change education.
States have and have not participated. I welcome the new ways of thinking
about transfomation and change and have even bigger ideas in mind.
this will be the first blog on the Power of US site.
