Joe Williams and Alexander Russo reported last week that I will be leaving the AFT for Teach for America (TFA).  Yep, it's true. In my view, if your primary concerns are teachers and students, there are no two better organizations to work for. I also believe in cross-fertilization, that I will bring to TFA my knowledge of teacher unions, while at the same time learning more about the education reform community. I think it will be mutually beneficial.

Will TFA launch a blog? Not likely. I would guess my blogging days are numbered. Why do I suddenly feel like I am writing my senior yearbook entry? On that note, "What a long strange trip it's been."  (Yes, I was a Deadhead in high school.  But I always did my homework.)
