Education Edition of Philadelphia Social Innovation Journal

Innovation Journal expanding work on education reform

In its winter/ spring 2011,  the Philadelphia Social Innovation Journal published Pennsylvania’s first comprehensive guide on new innovative ideas to education reform, and a book version will be released soon.

As follow-up to this edition and with the objective to create a platform for productive conversations and sharing of best practices, Journal co-founder Nicholas Torres has announced that he and a few others will be providing content information via educational blogs. The first educational blog will be about decision making for schools and districts given the current educational budget crisis.

The Journal is encouraging school leaders and staff to submit their own blogs or provide commentary on the issues, and to forward blog opinions to their colleagues via Facebook and Twitter.  The Journal’s goal, Torres says, is to create a place for a conversation for all individuals interested in quality education.

Torres said that the Journal has partnered with the Daily News, WHYY NewsWorks, and the Public School Notebook, which will review the content that is produced and if appropriate distribute to their respective audiences.

The Journal is also interested in hearing from individuals who would like to join the list of education experts on the site. To apply, submit a paragraph on your interest and a brief bio by email here. The expectation is that experts will submit a quarterly opinion/blog and provide commentary on those of others.
