This is the first in a long line of posts to come to this site. We'll be discussing Reform Efforts in the Portland Public School District located in Portland Oregon.

This site looks like it's going to be awesome. It'll be great when everyone starts using it on a daily basis!

This is a very good idea. This is the kind of platform that will enhance discussions on High School Reform. Lynne George needed a forum to share her vision and the hard work that folks are doing in the different high schools around the district. I am looking forward to see this project unfold.

This is a FABULOUS opportunity for all of us! Congrats to all who've worked with Lynne to create this great resource.

I look forward to the conversations we can begin having on this site once we all begin to access it. The meetings this week stimulated my thinking. The data workshop raised questions about leveraging the learning from Roosevelt's Step Up program and Marshall's use of the NWEA data. With AYP numbers out, it's clear we need to collaborate and co-opt one another's successful processes to continue to make improvements in achievement for all students. We're lucky to have a dynamic and supportive leader in Vicki Phillips to advocate for our efforts. And, Lynne George has provided a terrific forum for sharing and "working together" virtually. I invite all of my colleagues to share their wisdom and questions so we can begin to learn together.
