Here are two new blogs worth checking out:
* AccessAbility: Written by a special education writer, this blog hopes to encourage discussion on research-based special education interventions.
* Joel Packer Has All the Answers: In addition to a cheeky title, this blog will provide, "The Latest on No Child Left Behind from NEA's Top Policy Expert."
While we're talking about gender gaps - the ed policy blogosphere bears striking resemblance to "The Bachelorette." 75% of teachers are women, but 75% of ed policy bloggers are men. I'm just saying.

75% of ed policy bloggers are men? I think you might be underestimating. When Ed in '08 did their bloggers conference last month I have to believe it was a total sausagefest, because when it comes to ed policy there's you, Joanne Jacobs, occasionally Jenny D., and....hmm.
As I often say to my doc. students, "What's your warrant for that knowledge claim?" Maybe I should start by asking how you're defining "ed policy blogger."
too self-referential, too insiders-old-boy-clubby. half their blogging space goes to rehashing what so & so said in such & such a post, plus witty rejoinder that's only witty if you've followed the whole-darn-thing. too name-droppy. makes you wonder who's been in a school recently. tell it clear & straightforward and I'll read it.
