It's been a busy few days in the education world:
Senate Republicans blocked the Educator and First Responder Jobs Act, which could have helped save or create 400,000 jobs.
The Senate committee working on the ESEA re-write, passed it's new version of the bill on to the full Senate. It basically kills NCLB as we know it. While it pulled back significantly on the federal government's role in educator evaluations, some groups feel that there is still too much federal involvement in education policy.
Let's get a group of people together to evaluate the (limited) impact of Race to the Top and not invite two of the most important stakeholders; teachers and principals.
