A fellow professor at Furman, Sean O'Rourke, and I have discussed the Op-Ed, concluding that expressing an effective commentary in 750-850 words is akin to writing poetry.
Much of today I have been drafting an Op-Ed on the Harlem Children's Zone. Here are the resources I have been using to communicate a complex idea to the general public:
• David Brooks's Op-Ed titled "The Harlem Miracle," which is the primary focus for my discussion.
• Aaron Pallas's challenge to Brooks and the paper on HCZ by Dobbie and Fryer.
• Diane Ravitch's challenge to the praise of HCZ.
• Alex Molnar and Holly Yettick offer compelling discussions of how the media misrepresents educational research.
