You can be reassured that poverty means nothing, get a teaching certificate in a long week-end, or buy the book on standards-based grading. All this and more from the word of educational consultants. Linda Perlstein reports on 'the most succussful gurus you've never heard of." She writes, "Ruby Payne. Robert Marzano. Richard duFour. Douglas Reeves. Harry and Rosemary Wong. If you haven't heard these names, you are not a teacher or a principal. You probably aren't a school board member. But you might be an education journalist. School districts spend millions on consultants like these, who specialize in everything from formative assessment to understanding poor kids to how to greet your students on the first day of class." There's no end to the list of consultants and their blogs. Ah, what a business to be in.
