驰别蝉迟别谤诲补测鈥檚 Washington Post included a special advertising section on education issues sponsored by the National Education Association. (Memo to : Can you find out how much that cost?)
The editorial content included a Reg Weaver column covering the bottom half of the front page and short essays by a who鈥檚 who of Education Week sources (Linda Darling-Hammond and George Wood on the ; Jacob E. Adams Jr. and Kati Haycock on school finance; Richard Ingersoll on teacher quality).
The one that caught my eye was written by Richard W. Riley, the secretary of education for all eight years of the Clinton presidency. Riley has played a few roles behind the scenes since leaving Washington in 2001. But now he鈥檚 heading up a new practice at his law firm that will focus on education issues. Look for him to be more visible in education debates in coming years. You can learn more about his new venture at .
Here is Riley鈥檚 list of issues to be addressed under the future NCLB:
鈥淪etting the right standards;
鈥淪trengthening teaching;
鈥淭eaching higher-level skills;
鈥淢aking the most of the after-school hours;
鈥淕iving all students a strong start;
鈥淓xpanding access to college;
鈥淒eveloping good data.鈥�
NOTE: I couldn鈥檛 find any of the articles from the supplement online. If anyone else find it, please send over the link.
