www.foundry.org Across the country with much less fanfare, Idaho implemented its own set of landmark reforms. And while the state has lacked the drama playing out in the Midwest, the education changes implemented earlier this year in Idaho are arguably the most sweeping of any adopted in 2011. The reforms were spearheaded by Tom Luna, Idaho's superintendent of public instruction.

(www.CEAFU.org) As students head back to school, it is a good time to reflect on why education is failing and continues to fail. Terry Moe, Chairman of the Political Science department at Stanford, provides a dispassionate and extensively researched book, Special Interest: Teachers Unions and America's Public Schools, which should become a useful and effective tool for any passionate education reformers. Dr. Moe states and backs it up with 500 pages of text that teacher unions are the biggest impediment to permanent and effective education reform. Dr. Moe's research unquestionably shows that America's children are risk because of their very own teachers' allegiance to the NEA and AFT unions rather than education. And, until Big Labor's influence over education is diminished, reform remains elusive. In his presentation at the Concerned Educators Against Forced Unionism's (CEAFU) 36th Annual Conference, Dr. Moe stated that his research concludes that it is impossible for any effective education reform to occur with teacher unions as partners in reform. He said that unions have been and will inherently remain the well-financed opposition to education reform. Professor Moe added that in our political system it is easier to block reform than to bring about reform, giving teachers unions an additional edge in preventing changes. Professor Moe said that collective bargaining, the source of teacher union power, and teachers' job interests, which collective bargaining enshrines <b>...</b>

'Talkin' Chile's Camila Vallejo' is Michel Montecrossa's New-Topical-Song for the Education Reform Movement in Chile and its rebel leader Camila Vallejo. Michel Montecrossa (www.MichelMontecrossa.com) says about 'Talkin' Chile's Camila Vallejo' "It's a song and movie for the Education Reform Movement in Chile and its rebel leader Camila Vallejo." TALKIN' CHILE'S CAMILA VALLEJO This song is for Chile's Camila Vallejo. / Student leader she is and can shut down a city. / Free public education she wants and reforms. / "It's always the youth that makes the first move," / she says and I say: "Youth must have its way." Latin America is charmed by her, the rebel leader. / "There are huge levels of discontentment," she says. / "We took the first step but we are no longer alone, / the older generations are now joining this fight." / And I say: "Youth is the key to bringing new life." She is a young and beautiful leader, / leading the youth in a grand uprising / to pave the way for coming generations. / "We want a profound change," she says. / And I say: "Education must be free and best all over the world." This song is for Chile's Camila Vallejo / and student leaders everywhere on earth. / It's a song for freedom of mind and spirit / and the light of intelligence of every young soul. / The future is young and must have its way, you know.

She did not say segregation but the implication is there as charter schools decline to serve students with low test scores and they can get away with it. They are very loosely regulated and a parent has very little recourse or due process options to challenge an expulsion or "counseling out"

Talk title: Why math instruction is unnecessary John is a teacher of math and a homeschooling parent who offers a radical-sounding proposal: that we cease to require math instruction in middle and high school. He came to this point of view over a number of years, as he attempted (and failed) to convince students that the math they were learning was beautiful, useful, or an imperative component of their future prosperity. When he stopped trying to connect math with students and simple tried to connect with the students themselves, he made a profound discovery - kids are suffering from "math anxiety." If the goal of teaching math is to teach us deductive and inductive reasoning, might games and puzzles be equally effective in developing kids' reasoning skills - and allow them to fulfill their life missions? "We want to reawaken analytical and critical thinking schools that have been anesthetized by the standard curriculum," says John. John Bennett is a math teacher in the San Francisco Bay Area and a home-schooling father of four. An outspoken advocate of education reform, he has presented lectures and workshops throughout California. He uses logic puzzles and strategy games in the classroom (and at home) to supplement the traditional mathematics curriculum. John has written three volumes of Pentagrid Puzzles, a new puzzle form he created to challenge deductive logic and visual-spatial reasoning. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx <b>...</b>

www.beacon.org Mind-opening writing on what kids need from school, from one of education's most outspoken voices Arguing that our schools are currently in the grip of a "cult of rigor"-a confusion of harder with better that threatens to banish both joy and meaningful intellectual inquiry from our classrooms-Alfie Kohn issues a stirring call to rethink our priorities and reconsider our practices. Kohn's latest wide-ranging collection of writings will add to his reputation as one of the most incisive thinkers in the field, who questions the assumptions too often taken for granted in discussions about education and human behavior. In nineteen recently published essays-and in a substantive introduction, new for this volume-Kohn repeatedly invites us to think more deeply about the conventional wisdom. Is self-discipline always desirable? he asks, citing surprising evidence to the contrary. Does academic cheating necessarily indicate a moral failing? Might inspirational posters commonly found on school walls ("Reach for the stars!") reflect disturbing assumptions about children? Could the use of rubrics for evaluating student learning prove counterproductive? Subjecting young children to homework, grades, or standardized tests-merely because these things will be required of them later-reminds Kohn of Monty Python's "getting hit on the head lessons." And, with tongue firmly in cheek, he declares that we should immediately begin teaching twenty-second-century skills. Whether Kohn <b>...</b>

Michelle Rhee and Kevin Johnson: How to Transform American Education Michelle Rhee, Founder and CEO, Students First; Former Chancellor, District of Columbia Public School System Kevin Johnson, Mayor of Sacramento; Chair, US Conference of Mayors Task Force on Public Education Students First is an organization that Rhee calls a "national movement to transform education." In her controversial three years as chancellor of the Washington, DC, school system, she closed nearly two dozen schools, cut administrative positions and proposed that teacher salaries be based on merit rather than tenure. Today, her goal is to "put pressure on elected officials and press for changes in legislation to make things better for kids." Sacramento Mayor Johnson says he's "committed to identifying ways to strategically drive education reform." Upon retiring from the NBA after 12 seasons with the Phoenix Suns, Johnson returned to his hometown of Sacramento to serve as the CEO of St. HOPE, a nonprofit community development organization he founded to revitalize inner-city communities. Hear from these two leaders about what can be done to save the American education system.
