And it is especially good news because in a high poverty district, Cashin has instituted the very programs that Klein has ignored for years in spite of the hue and cry of some of NY’s top educators. Cashin used content rich programs essentially against all odds, and if they now become more widespread, it is Cashin who deserves the credit – she and the many educators who have kept faith with these programs through very these very dark days of the DoE – these people, not Klein. I just posted (at ridiculous length) on this subject under Leo’s main post on Tough’s article entitled, “Out Damned Spot…” I think Cashin’s schools and her programs have implications for the achievement disparities between rich and poor, so the comment is there instead of here. And hooray for our teachers of Region 5, and our Teacher Center. We knew it all along! The news about Region 5 is great news from every angle of the page.
