The upshot of what our reporters found is that the standards require more writing, more different types of writing, and an increase in the use of evidence from outside texts—and yet professional development efforts haven't kept up in helping teachers meet these new demands. A study published in last month's Reading and Writing journal echoes many of those c...

Congressional Democrats increasingly frustrated by a string of defeats on gun issues in Washington are scrambling to harness a public outpouring after last week’s sit-in protest on the House floor. Party leaders are urging members to conduct similar sit-ins around the country as they try to sustain the flash of hard-core activism on the gun issue. “We don’t have the numbers to get things done, so we have to turn to more dramatic displays to galvanize the public so they can help us pressure the Republicans to do what’s right,” said U.S. Rep....
