Tom Whitby, whose blog I follow regularly, posted this account of a Twitter exchange he had with Arne Duncan about engaging 100 connected eductors with the Secretary. Whitby also provides his view of the education "reform" landscape, its influence on Duncan, hope for how the 100 connected educators might interact with Duncan, and a copy of his 100 list. It all makes for some interesting reading and for some interesting personal fantasies about what could come next from this. Way to go Tom.

"No standardized tests, no written homework, no tracking. These are some of the new actions China is taking to lessen student academic burden. The Chinese Ministry of Education released Ten Regulations to Lessen Academic Burden for Primary School Students this week [August 2013] for public commentary. The Ten Regulations are introduced as one more significant measure to reform China’s education, in addition to further reduction of academic content, lowering the academic rigor of textbooks, expanding criteria for education quality, and improving teacher capacity."
