January 28, 2011Fixing Teacher Tenure Without a Pass-Fail GradeEducation eyes were on Washington this week to see what President Obama would say about schools in his State of the Union address. But just as in 2010, if you really want to follow the action on education reform, it's better to look toward the states. All the new governors (29), education chiefs (18 new ones elected or appointed since November) and legislators (nearly 1,600) mean things are more fluid in the states, where teacher tenure is becoming a major flash point. Florida and New Jersey are considering pretty much ending tenure altogether. And while those states may be ground zero for tenure battles, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania are also considering significant changes.Posted by Jim Zellmer at January 28, 2011 4:49 AM Subscribe to this site via RSS/Atom: Newsletter signup | Send us your ideas Comments
