What is your state promising?

It is imperative that reporters request their states’ Race to the Top applications, even if they aren’t releasing them willingly. Not just the highlights, the whole thousand-page shebang. Because I am sure there are an awful lot of promises in there, massive change even, and journalists should be scrutinizing and questioning and analyzing. All this is, and will be, moving fast, and we need to stay on top of everything before the mess of implementation is upon us.

  1. Alexander Russo at thisweekineducation.com has compiled the most comprehensive list of links to applications at the moment, and EdMoney.org is working on it as well. Now read your state's! (Or FOIA it if they are refusing to give it up.)

  3. Interesting...very interesting to read what is planned for us. Reporters? Heck, teachers should read their state's doc to see what is coming their way in the next few years.
