Shed Light Now

"As educators, you simply cannot remain uninformed and silent about the social and economic context of your work." (--Richard Rothstein) If you have been concerned about the current state of public education and the larger education movements, we encourage you to spend some time reading and viewing these informational posts. Warning bells have been ringing. It is time to get informed. It is imperative that we shed light on the current state of education reform, now.

Positive Action

“We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there "is" such a thing as being too late. This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and postive action.” - Martin Luther King

About ShedLightNow

If you are a teacher, perhaps you are feeling angry, frustrated or that something is just plain wrong in your classroom, your school, your district... your life's work. If you are a parent, perhaps you have felt that things have changed with your child's school, teacher, homework or even your own child's emotional status. Trust your instincts - things are wrong. This is NOT just another "phase" in education. The goal of this blog is to inform anyone who is concerned about the current state of education reform. In an effort to educate, ShedLightNow posts information from across the country - and in some cases the globe. Many of the blog entries are reposts, as the information and wording contained within them - should stand alone and speak for themselves. For more background information, journey into the "Mind Map" ...if you dare. Of course, from time to time, a few snarky comments will appear without warning.
