Bob Herbert hit the mark recently by claiming that new forms of identifying good teachers and weeding out poor ones have to be created for new schools to flourish. Unfortunately, last week’s press update from the transitional school district of St. Louis Public Schools passed without a single event to suggest that’s where we are headed. St. Louis desperately needs strong leadership models, and help may soon be on the way – the Knowledge is Power Program (KIPP). KIPP shows you what fresh blood borne from such programs like Teach for America can do with new ideas are allowed to be taught.
