A new blog that might interest some of you

Recently, a few people have contacted me with questions about the Stanford joint degree MBA/MA.Ed program and this post is probably the sort of thing they would be interested in. Others will probably be interested too, but this will definitely catch the eye of folks interested in Education.

Yesterday, I found out that one of my professors from the Stanford School of Education, Prof. Michael Kirst, has his own blog up and I wanted to give him a quick plug here. The link to his site is:

http://thecollegepuzzle.blogspot.com/

Here’s a quick description of what he discusses on his site:

“My blog discusses the important and complex subjects of college completion, college success, student risk factors (for failing), college readiness, and academic preparation. I will explore the pieces of the college puzzle that heavily influence, if not determine, college success rates.”

I’ve started reading his blog and he’s got some thought-provoking content that is set up as a series of short article-style postings. I remember him being very passionate about the problems that students face because of administrative structures back when I took his ‘Politics of Education’ course and he continues this passion through his site. I hope that you guys will take a second to check him out and pass his link along to any others that you think might be interested.
