  8. An L.A. Unified road map

    There are big differences in how well Los Angeles' teachers help their students learn, a new study shows &mdash; bigger variations than in other districts, where teaching quality appears more even. The study also indicates that teachers in the L.A. Unified School District who receive advanced degrees aren't more effective than others, but those with national board certification are. The district's program for training teachers, pulling mostly from its ranks of classroom aides, produces more effective teachers than those who come from traditional teacher colleges, and they're much more likely to stay with the district than recruits from the prestigious Teach for America organization.

  11. Actor Tony Danza On New Book 'I'd Like To Apologize To Every Teacher I Ever Had'

    As an actor, Tony Danza had conquered nearly every entertainment realm – TV, the movies, even Broadway – when one day three years ago, he felt a powerful urge to chase a childhood dream and become a teacher. He'd been inspired, watching a documentary made by Teach for America, and he wanted to give something back. After dazzling viewers of such hit TV shows as Taxi and Who's the Boss? and delighting Broadway audiences, he figured that, even with his lack of teaching experience, he still stood a good chance of keeping a classroom of high school kids engaged. How hard could it be?

  12. How Chicago's Teacher Strike Explains the Education De-revolution

    Several good friends of mine work as Chicago Public School teachers, and as the strike continues this week, I can&rsquo;t help but point out it seems like Chicago&rsquo;s great at coughing up money for Olympic bids, NATO summits, and TIFF slush funds, but pay a public school teacher for the extra time she&rsquo;s being asked to work? There&rsquo;s just no money in the budget! Times are hard!
