Last Tuesday I told you about the need to focus on replicating great teaching rather than shrinking class sizes. The post basically did the following:
- Noted that, according to research by Mike Antonucci, Colorado has been an exception by not hiring faster than student enrollment growth
- Point readers to an Education Next podcast highlighting the research on effective teaching techniques by Doug Lemov and Steven Farr
- Connected Lemov’s and Farr’s ideas to Colorado’s statutory push to enhance educator effectiveness
So how surprised was I to read this new Colorado Daily piece by my Education Policy Center friend Ben DeGrow that well, basically makes the same points?
I’m not saying it’s plagiarism or anything. After all, Ben isn’t
