SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — An effort to recruit more non-white teachers to a South Dakota school district took a step toward closing a longstanding classroom diversity gap. Sioux Falls School District has hired almost 10 teachers of color this summer, increasing the total of non-white teachers in its schools to almost 70, the Argus Leader reported. The district has around 1,500 teachers and 98 percent of them are white. http://www.chron.com/news/education/article/South-Dakota-school-district-increases-teacher-11777841.php...
Few pieces of research have shocked the American education system more than the 2009 study “The Widget Effect,” by the New Teacher Project, now known as TNTP. It found that classroom assessment systems were a sham, with fewer than 1 percent of teachers being rated unsatisfactory. Reformers promised to fix this. They demanded that schools augment the standard ratings by principals with data on how well each teacher’s students did on standardized tests. Now, that reform seems to be crumbling as test results have proved erratic and unusable with...

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump bowed on Monday to overwhelming pressure that he personally condemn white supremacists who incited bloody demonstrations in Charlottesville, Va., over the weekend, labeling their racist views "evil" after two days of equivocal statements. "Racism is evil," said Trump, delivering a statement from the White House at a hastily arranged appearance meant to halt the growing political threat posed by the situation. "And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, w...
State Auditor Rebecca Otto has crisscrossed Minnesota over the last seven months in pursuit of higher office, even as she defends the continued relevancy of the political post she’s held for nearly a dozen years. It’s two campaigns at once for the energetic Otto, who’s one of a growing group of DFLers running for governor in 2018. At the same time, the three-term auditor continues to press her monthslong legal battle against a state law that privatized some of her office’s work. It’s propelled the usually low-profile Otto into a public ...
