Free @thechalkface propaganda gallery
May 13, 2013 By 7 Comments
Images are powerful and when there’s free time, I make them. So, we offer you the following image gallery for free to use and share at your leisure. Many are based on WWI and II propaganda posters, others humdrum internet memes with an education twist. Myself and others will likely keep adding to this gallery […]
We debuted something new At the Chalk Face today
May 5, 2013 By Leave a Comment
Well, I have to say, it’s pretty amazing. In addition to have a great chat with teachers Ralph Ratto and Brian White, we debuted the new “Michelle Rhee” button. We’ve used a term in the past, that these education “reforms” are “faith-based.” That is, they’re not based on any evidence, per se, just some pure […]

We work our BEE-hinds off to bring everyone stories and conversations that don’t get covered, related to education and public schools. In addition to our weekly shows at 6PM EST on […]

I thought we may need to take the […]

Our interview with @ctulocal1 president Karen Lewis did a few things for me
March 25, 2013 By 2 Comments
Here’s the interview on Blog Talk Radio. What’s remarkable is that she spent so much time with us considering how busy things are going to be. In any event, I had a few persistent thoughts after the interview. One, the formula for underutilization in Chicago is partly based on square footage. That was a really […]

Just a quick announcement, NBD
I am teaching myself to use Xcode. In three months time, by the end of this summer, At the Chalk Face will have a smartphone/tablet application. Perhaps I’m being naive about the app submission and review process. Or, my ability to learn code from scratch. No matter. The goal has been set. That is all.
