And it speaks to the fact that Congressional leaders often have no idea of the personal impact of the programs they support. Personal impact on teachers, that in turn nurtures and stimulates long-term growth in students. Most policy-making has a very mechanized approach to student growth and learning--but writing is a way of knowing. BTW, could you change the URL of "Teacher in a Strange Land" in your blog roll to: http://blogs.edweek.org/teachers/teacher_in_a_strange_land/ I am honored to be there. Thanks.

We'll make sure folks in Congress see it too. And your blog is fantastic. I love this template. I'd love to share some thoughts with you but didn't see a contact button on the site. But if you get a chance and a free window, send me a note at the NWP. It will get to me through nwp@nwp.org. Thanks for this AMAZING post, Heather. We’ll make sure folks in Congress see it too.
