"Tinkering Toward Utopia" & "Class and #Schools" are the 2 #EdPolicy books I recommend to Congressional Members & Staff interested in #Educ

[EdPolicyAdvisor @EdPolicyAdvisor]

started reading Larry Cuban's new book "As Good As It Gets". He's a great Educ writer! Also checkout his classic "Tinkering Toward Utopia".

[EdPolicyAdvisor @EdPolicyAdvisor]

Well... at least Diane Ravitch's "The Death and Life of the Great American School System" is being read by some Committee Members & Staff.

[EdPolicyAdvisor @EdPolicyAdvisor]

you'd assume most Ed/Labor Committee Members & Staff would be familiar w/ Richard Rothstein's book "Class & Schools". They're not! Shameful.

A downsides is having access to briefings w/ Sr DOE Officials and seeing how their defense of ESEA #EdReform Blueprint is weak. #Education

[EdPolicyAdvisor @EdPolicyAdvisor]

Another perk is receiving free review copies of all the latest #Education, #EdPolicy & #EdReform books by the key authors and scholars!

[EdPolicyAdvisor @EdPolicyAdvisor]

A perk for working in a Congressional Office is the complimentary issues of PDKappan Magazine, #Education Next, AFT American Educator, etc!
