Greater Greater Education is an affiliate of the Greater Greater Washington site. We have assembled a small team of volunteers to bring news, analysis and opinion about local developments in education (public, charter, private) in D.C. We are looking for some new contributors to help us expand our capabilities, and we can provide an opportunity for your voice and your writing to reach a broader audience. And if you're not interested in writing, we encourage you to read and comment on our articles at http://greatergreatereducation.org to further the discussion.
I know that YEP members run the gamut from experts in federal policy to teachers in DCPS and charter schools, and we would love to have your voices heard, about how various issues impact children in our local schools. Here are some more details about what we're looking for, from a post today. If you would like more information, feel free to email me directly, or write to info@ggdcedu.org:
We started Greater Greater Education about 6 months ago with the goal of providing more coverage of education issues in the DC area and, ultimately, helping to improve the quality of public education. If you have something to say on the subject, we'd like to hear from you.
We're looking both for people who would like to write a one-time guest blog post and also those who are interested in becoming regular contributors. If you fall into either of those categories, please contact us at info@ggdcedu.org with some background information about yourself and an idea of what you'd like to write about.
If you're not interested in writing but you have an idea for something you think would make a good story, we'd like to hear about that too. You can submit a tip here.
We welcome contributions from those with expertise in education policy, but we're also interested in hearing from people who can draw on their personal experience: teachers, parents, students or former students, and neighborhood residents.
Ideally, we look for topics that have both a local angle and some resonance beyond a single individual or even a single school. A background in writing is helpful but not required.
Our bloggers often take positions on issues, but we're primarily looking to inform readers and stimulate reasoned discussion. We look for posts that are based on objective information and that lay out that information clearly, without academic jargon or partisan invective.
