Ending the week with some good news!

I don't know if you're like me, but I spend a lot (too much?) time combing the internet for stories about education and educators. It's not too surprising that it's exceedingly easy to find negative, disparaging, or somewhat depressing news about schools. That's why whenever I find a positive story I'm always especially alert.

This recent story from the NY Times
is one of those stories. It reports that the overall academic strength of the teacher pool has increased significantly. This is the type of story and the brand of trending that education needs more of, and it's always encouraging to see teaching cast in a positive light.

Happy reading and have a great weekend.
