Check out my editorial on Inside Higher Ed about my return to the classroom. I think it turned out pretty well, now I just await all the snarky comments.

As an educational consultant and elementary educator at an independent school- I applaud your choice to spend time in the classroom!! I’m curious about the types of data you gather during your summer work? I have worked at/with charter or independent schools for over 20 years and am keenly interested in any solid research being conducted in this area!
I really did not think about specific research during my four weeks teaching. I wanted to focus on practice. However, there might be opportunities in the future if I can preserve my relationship with the school throughout the year. I can’t state for sure whether or not there is a solid research base, a case study approach might be an important first step. Most of the research that I see on charter schools focuses on data and their efficacy vis-a-vis that test data. I’ll have to think of something, and if you have any ideas, let me know.
