People Who Get It

The great part of a website like this is finding other people and organizations who get what It's All Academic is about: true educational reform highlighted through humor and creativity.  I'll list on this page those kindred spirits and organizations. 

I hope it is a constantly growing list as these connections are typically coming from responses to the blog and website.

American College of the Building Arts -- See January 3, 2011, blog for my initial discovery of one of America's most innovative institutions.

The Cronk of Higher Education -- See December 18, 2010, blog for my first reference to this hilarious satirical look of higher education.

-- See January 21, 2011, blog for a brief discussion of Brooks' excellent editorial regarding the controversy surrounding Amy Chua's recent book.


Gaye Tuchman -- See January 25, 2011, blog for a link to Tuchman's book that clearly shows that not-for-profit institutional scorn for the for-profit model of education is at times hypocritical.

February 2011 Pathways to Prosperity report --Harvard Graduate School of Education Report suggesting among many points that perhaps a four-year degree is not the right goal for everyone.  See February 4, 2011, blog.

Ken Bain -- See May 20, 2011,  blog for discussion of his fantastic book, What the Best College Teachers Do.  Ideally, future blogs will elaborate more on other aspects of his argument.
