Let's get started

After lurking in the shadows for a year or two now, reading other people's blogs, it's time for me to get started!

This will be a place where I offer up thoughts on education topics, especially related to the mission of GreatSchools.net, the nonprofit organization that I run. Our mission is to improve K-12 schools by inspiring parents to get involved.

I hope to spur your thinking about education topics, including how parents can drive improvements in their children's schools. I hope you'll offer your thoughts.

I am a Teach for America corps member in the Bronx. Many of my parents cannot speak English and there are really no reliable translators in my school. I want to develop a rapport with these parents. Do you have any advice?
Thanks,
Lysander

Thanks for spending the time with the new blog Bill. I promise to keep reading.
Thanks for the heads up about Simmons' book on Chicago/Urban districts - that should be an important read before an upcoming urban school boards meeting in Chicago in April and again in June.
Eric
