Building a New Box

Over the past couple of weeks - I think probably starting with the news that the NBC networks were going to launch their Education Nation initiative - the idea of school reform has been on my mind a lot. I've had water-cooler conversations with several teachers which drifted into the realm of "what's-wrong-and-what-would-work" and a couple of articles have come through my inbox along the same vein.

So I decided to start blogging about that, too. Building a New Box is my new school reform blog - not so much an authority on the matter, but simply collecting information and opinions from various sources, and providing some of my own.

The title? Well, you've probably heard the phrase thinking outside the box. But what happens if just being outside the box isn't enough? What if you need a completely new box?

I'm only two posts into it, but please add it to your RSS reader and stay tuned - I'm hoping it'll be part of the larger discussion about education reform in this country.
