via Mike Goldstein, via eduwonk.
While I'm on the subject, I'm also asking myself why I apparently have no idea who Mike Goldstein is, either. When I saw he was guest-blogging (again) for eduwonk, I thought, Great! I love this guy!
Well, perhaps I do love Mike Goldstein; who knows? Turns out I was thinking Mike Goldstein was Mike Piscal, another eduwonk link.
Apparently my aging brain can't distinguish between two different charter school founders with the first name "Mike."
I hope that's not a sign of anything.
Catherine -- Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Eduflack, affectionately known as Patrick Riccards to my family and friends. I've spent the past 15 years working on strategic communications initiatives, most of them in the field of education. I served as senior counsel to the National Reading Panel and as project director for the U.S. Department of Education's Partnership for Reading. Along the way, I have worked on national and regional issues focused on education research, teacher education, high school reform, STEM, and teacher professional development.

I just bought the book, which I had been cruising for a couple of months now. When your website put you and it together, I ordered!
