AFT NCLBlog

educational tour marm.jpg Time for a break from the the Miller-McKeon madness. I have been playing catch-up since I returned from maternity leave a couple of weeks ago, and I just noticed that the Summer 2007 American Educator features a piece on the value of poetry in the classroom by blogger Anne Marie Whittaker, whose online persona is The Educational Tour Marm. I originally found her post through the Carnival of Education at The Education Wonks, and I was so impressed by it that I passed it on to the editors of American Educator, who saw fit to publish it this past summer. Drawing attention to her blog is probably one of the nicest things to come out of NCLBlog.
