The Best (& Most Thoughtful) Blogs On “Big Picture” Education Issues
Readers of this blog know I have a particular interest in broader “school reform” issues. Similar to my “The Best ESL/EFL Blogs list, I thought people might be interested in my choices for what I consider to be “The Best (& Most Thoughtful) Blogs On Big “Picture” Education Issues.”
My criteria include:
* They provide thoughtful analysis and commentary, and are not dogmatic.
* They post relatively regularly.
* Their posts include information that I find useful in my own teaching.
I don’t have that much time right now, so I’m just going to list them and not include a description. Since it’s such a short list, it won’t take you much time to check them out:
The English Teacher’s Companion
Larry Cuban on School Reform and Classroom Practice
In addition to The Tempered Radical, which is on the list already, you can read three other exceptional blogs hosted by the Teacher Leaders Network on their Featured Blogs page (I’m a TLN member, but didn’t know about their (our?) featured bloggers page until Claus von Zastrow pointed it out).
Who else do you think should be on this list?
If you found this post useful, you might want to look at previous “The Best…” lists and also consider subscribing to this blog for free.

Thanks for the plug, Larry. As always, your confidence in my work is rewarding. It reaffirms my core belief that I’m not an idiot!
