Talking the talk on ed reform

Kudos to the Pioneer Institute, which has assembled opinion pieces from a high-profile line-up of education thinkers and doers who provide strong arguments on behalf of the state's standards-based reform efforts and against any backsliding on the high standards and accountability that education reform has brought to public schools in Massachusetts. The pieces are here in the form of video commentaries, and include Tom Birmingham and Mark Roosevelt, co-authors of the state's 1993 education reform law, former education commissioner David Driscoll, former education secretary Michael Sentance, and former board of education chairman Jim Peyser.
