"The Skillful Publicist" - Education Week

Sorry for any confusion.
The Education Week blog, with the whole article, can be found HERE. You will note that the paragraph below, from the article, was in quotation marks, and linked back to the Education Week blog.

The Education Week blog article was citing Montgomery County Public Schools' OWN review and evaluation performed by the Office of Shared Accountability. That evaluation can be found on the MCPS website, HERE.

The legitimate question whether MCPS students are getting value from the hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on the Skillful Teacher program is my own.

The Skillful Publicist

......"Montgomery County’s own internal evaluations of Studying Skillful Teaching aren’t as positive. Although 3rd grade teachers and Alegebra I teachers who took the course are "more likely to teach mastery lessons and less likely to miss opportunities to positively impact student learning" than comparable teachers who did not (Merchlinsky, 2006, 2007), there were no effects on elementary reading and math test scores or algebra performance."

Remind me, again, how much money MCPS spends per year on "The Skillful Teacher." Is it worth it?
