with an office full of former teachers, tfa<\/a> alums, and test prep fanatics it\u2019s no wonder we have a few go-to education blogs. what kind of blogs, you ask? the kind that give great advice, ask big questions, and make us think. here are some of our favorites.<\/p>\n

the blog<\/a><\/h4>\n

by debbie stier<\/em><\/p>\n

this blog is written by mother-turned-sat-expert, debbie stier. she started writing and speaking about the sat when she was trying to get her two kids into college. we like her blog because it has great advice for stressed out students and worried parents who want to encourage and support their children as they study. she just re-designed her site and we think the new layout is pretty nice, too.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

what to read first:<\/strong> beware of overconfidence when it comes to the sat <\/a><\/p>\n

class struggle<\/a><\/h4>\n

by jay matthews<\/em><\/p>\n

jay matthews is a columnist for the washington post where he writes about modern education reform policies (and why he likes them.) the ideas of charter schools, school choice, testing and accountability sound good to him. we like his bold approach and fearless criticism of current education systems\u2014his articles are always an entertaining and eye-opening read.<\/p>\n

what to read first:<\/strong> why can\u2019t we have more teachers like the ones we loved?<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

answer sheet<\/a><\/h4>\n

by valerie strauss<\/em><\/p>\n

if jay matthews is on one side of the education-opinion spectrum, then you\u2019ll find valerie strauss way on the opposite end. also a washington post columnist, strauss writes articles opposing education reform policies. she\u2019s in favor of teachers’ unions, limiting high-stakes testing, and teacher autonomy. we love how outspoken she is about all of it. but at the end of the day, both strauss and matthews make great points and it’s always interesting to see their columns next to each other!<\/p>\n

what to read first:<\/strong> what is the value of letting students struggle in class? teachers answer<\/a><\/p>\n

this week in education<\/h4>\n

by alexander russo<\/em><\/p>\n

what to read first:<\/strong> meet the teacher who started #iwishmyteacherknew<\/a><\/p>\n
