TOP-Ed and my column Educated Guess will be on vacation next week. I’ll be catching up with reading and family and doing some travel. If something really important breaks, I’ll report it. So sign up for the daily e-mail, if you haven’t already, just to be safe. I’ll be resuming on Jan. 3 with some advice to incoming Supt. of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson from seven sharp observers of California education.

Enjoy the holidays and thanks for reading and commenting this past year. We will need to share good ideas and points of view to get us through the difficult year ahead.

"Darn, I wish I had read that over again before I hit send.” Don’t let this be your lament. To promote a civil dialogue, please be considerate, respectful and mindful of your tone.

Welcome to the NEW TOP-Ed!

After a brief hiatus, SVEF’s education blog, Thoughts on Public Education (TOP-Ed), is back in a new format. The blog will focus on deep analysis of education issues, especially as they relate to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). These entries will attempt to translate complex education topics for readers as well as invite bloggers representing different perspectives to respond to our entries. We will also invite guest contributors to share their ideas about education along the way. We invite you to stay tuned to the new TOP-Ed.

We thank journalists John Fensterwald and Kathryn Baron for their work on TOP-Ed over the past three years. Their tireless efforts have successfully established TOP-Ed as a forum to present and discuss key education issues of the day. We wish them the best of luck continuing their excellent brand of journalism at EdSource and encourage you to keep up with them at edsource.org.
