Social Media
The need for researchers to embrace social media for dissemination
As Congress considers reauthorization of the No Child Left Behind Act, policymakers, advocates, and parents are concerned about how to meet the requirement that states provide every student with high-quality teachers. To address these concerns, Brookings and Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School released the latest volume of The Future of Children journal, “Excellence in the Classroom.”
On March 28 a slate of panelists including members of Congress, journal contributors, and other researchers and administrators, discussed options for improving teacher quality including in-service training, mentoring, and the recruitment of new, high-quality teachers.
