Fordham experts (and our many studies) continue to garner excellent media hits. As previously mentioned, many journalists turned to Checker and Mike for comment on the nomination of Arne Duncan to be Ed Sec. To add to that list--Checker was quoted in the Economist and Mike was quoted in the Christian Science Monitor.
In this National Review Online piece, Checker and Mike discussed the current education policy landscape, what they see as the proper federal role in education and a possible basis for compromise (as detailed in Fordham's letter to the President-elect Obama, Education Secretary-designate Duncan and the 111th Congress).
Meanwhile, a Fordham study on Catholic schools is cited in this article in The Tennessean and this article in the Las Vegas Sun.
Fordham Fellow Laura A. Bornfreund discusses school choice in this Orlando Sentinel op-ed.
And Fordham's Ohio point-man Terry Ryan discusses the problems with the current teacher pay system in this Columbus Dispatch article.
Nice work all!
