Teach Effectively!

Sandra Tsing Loh, who may be familiar as a commentator on the US National Public Radio (among other venues), reports that some wit and persistence can make a difference in public schools. Although I’d followed her comments for other reasons, I was pleasantly surprised that she was presenting a fresh and thoughtful analysis of contemporary educational issues in multiple fora.

• “Tales out of School” (from the Atlantic Monthly) in which she compares her own street-level activism to the utopian visions of J. Kozol;
• “Ask a Magnet Yenta,” which helps parents in Southern California learn about magnet schools; or
• Her current home page.
