Educational Insanity

Albert Shanker, the late president of the American Federation of Teachers, observed that, “Schools are the last unreformed institution from the 19^th Century which are about to trundle, unchanged, into the 21^st Century.” Reform efforts at all levels of our educational system tinker (at best) at the margins, and the institution of public schooling continues to wallow in the status quo.

As a professor of educational leadership, I am using this blog as a space to be a public intellectual; a place for me to share my thoughts and ideas on issues that lie at the intersection of at least three areas:

• Educational Policy
• Educational Leadership
• Educational Technology

   I found your site in a search for a review on Promethean. Lots of good stuff here. Perhaps I’m missing something, but I couldn’t find a search button or a contact page.
