[LIT] what journalists should look for

[Bill IVEY]

Hi!

I know on and off over the past year, we've had a number of discussions
over how teaching in general and middle schools in particular are
presented in the news, and I've sensed a fair amount of frustration from a
number of us (including myself). So...

There's a website that came through in today's PEN NewsBlast about what
journalists should look for in a classroom; they interviewed a number of
teachers and videotaped their response to the prompt "What would you look
for in a classroom as proof of great teaching?" Before I give you all the
link (tomorrow or Sunday), how would *you* answer the question?!

Take care,
