Good Stuff From Sherman Dorn

Sherman Dorn is a historian of education who also looks closely at education policy. He also has an awesome blog. This recent entry looks at relevant issues in how we've conceived of teacher quality in our nations history. You should notice some of the things we've already talked about in his essay; we'll talk about more of them in the weeks to come.

Also check out his provocative entry "I am not a caring teacher" in which he discusses Nel Noddings and how focusing on the virtue of teachers has hurt the profession.
