In the Spring/Summer issue of Catalyst Strategic Design Review there is a series of articles on the Harlem Children’s Zone, including a piece adapted from some of my Schoolhouse Rock blog posts on Slate last fall. (There are also some great Alex Tehrani photographs.)

The magazine looks at HCZ in part from a design perspective, which is novel. The magazine itself is quite interesting — it exists only online, but it’s designed like an actual magazine, with pages you turn.

Over on Slate yesterday, I laid out my case for the Harlem Children’s Zone.

Sara Mosle reviews Whatever It Takes for Slate:

Paul Tough’s Whatever It Takes is an inspirational story about one man’s efforts to boost educational achievement in New York City’s Harlem. The book is also a sobering tale of how such good intentions, alone, are often not enough. Put the two together, and you have everything you need to know not only about inner-city education, poverty, and charter schools but about the realism that is essential to ambitious reform.

For the month of September, I’m blogging about various issues over at Slate.

So for now, at least, this blog will be issue-less. Just about book news.

Specifically, news about Whatever It Takes.

Thanks for visiting.
