I think the list of possible topics listed is a great start. This blog could also serve as an opportune space to highlight best practices or success stories in teacher recruitment, induction and retention in high-needs schools. Another particular topic may include supporting teachers of English language learners who don't have formal preparation to work with this population and who may not have access to ESL or bilingual ed specialists in their school. There should also be discussion on the role of schools of education and how they are preparing students to address the needs of disadvantaged students, especially in the era of the Common Core State Standards.
