This Black History Month, we called
on teachers and librarians to
send in pictures of the books and
resources they used to celebrate
the month. Educators flooded the
#BlackHistoryBookshelf hashtag
with impressive snaps of their
bookshelves and school library
displays.

Educators who work in rural areas face
many challenges, including isolation.
Complicating matters is the policy
"vacuum" created by Betsy DeVos'
U.S. Department of Education, writes
researcher Andy Hargreaves. And these
communities don't often benefit from
corporate philanthropy, big business,
and university expertise. Hargreaves
and Michael T. O'Connor studied
collaborative professionalism around
the world to see how educators from
small towns are breaking through the
isolation to improve student learning.

"There is no perfect grading and
reporting system." That's what
University of Louisville researcher
Thomas R. Guskey explains in his
guest post for Peter DeWitt's Finding
Common Ground opinion blog. Guskey
suggests ending the futile search for
best practices and "perfect" systems
and focusing instead on using what
we know to improve what we have.
