Joel Rose of the School of One returns...with a COIB ruling that ignores the city's conflict of interest rules

by Leonie Haimson

Today, Rachel Monahan reported in the Daily News that the DOE is going forward with a contract for Joel Rose’s new company to run the School of One in NYC public schools.
Joel Rose devised and ran the “School of One” for DOE, a much-hyped online program to teach middle school math, starting in the summer of 2009. Rose has had a pretty standard trajectory for a corporate reformer: he started as a TFA recruit, then worked for seven years at Edison charter schools under Chris Cerf, moved over to DOE as Cerf’s chief of staff in 2006, and started the “School of One” as a summer school program in a few middle schools.
Along the way he got a law degree and trained at the Broad Academy for ambitious educrats. He also benefited off of the huge publicity machine of DOE, when the School of One was cited by Time Magazine as one of the best inventions of 2009, and the program subsequently won a $5 million

#Occupy The Unions

by noreply@blogger.com (Tim)
And I'm back. I can only tell you that I successfully closed the achievement gap, which as you know requires alot of firing, and a lot of dispersing urban black kids to other schools, and then getting the hell out of town before the studies show that you actually didn't close the achievement gap but made it worse instead.

Anyhoo, the most interesting thing I read during my little social media vacation was this erudite review of the possible rebirth of teacher unionism by Lois Weiner, in New Politics. I'm not sure how I found it, but typically when I can't trace back where I found something, I found it over at The Eggplant, so it was probably there, too. Who the hell knows?

Listen to Lois.
