For those of you who are interested, here are the final regular season standings for BlogBall09, our edublogger fantasy baseball leagues. As league commissioners, apparently both Jon Becker and I got to finish in 7th place, one spot out of the playoffs. Ugh.

Today is the LAST day of THE PUSH!
Today we focus on EDUCATION POLICY. We're looking for excellent education policy blogs (liberal, conservative, or neither) that P-12 educators should be reading. If you know of any, please add them to the Moving Forward wiki.
Why are we doing this?
- To identify blogs that P-12 educators can use to initially seed (or expand) their RSS readers
- To create a single location where P-12 educators can go to see excellent educational blogging
- To highlight excellent disciplinary blogging that deserves larger audiences
- To learn from disciplines other than our own and get ideas about our own teaching and/or blogging
Thanks in advance for helping with this initiative. If we all contribute, at the end we should have a bevy of excellent P-12 blogs to which we can all point. Please spread the word about THE PUSH!
FYI, yesterday was a good day for THE PUSH. We now have a list of 9 excellent superintendent / district blogs (and that's before I add a few that I know about). Thank you! We’re doing okay in most other areas but still could use some help with these:
- agricultural education blogs (only have 3),
- athletics / extracurricular activities (only have 1),
- drama / theater education blogs (only have 1),
- family / consumer sciences education blogs (only have 4),
- physical / health education blogs (only have 7), and
- school counseling / college and career counseling / career education / school psychology blogs (only have 3),
