Several groups have reached out over the past few months, asking whether or not I do PD/workshops related to assessing school quality "beyond test scores."
Here& #39;s my answer, which I& #39;m thinking other scholars might be interested in.

I could charge you several thousand dollars for my time to prepare a custom workshop, cover travel, etc.
Or, we could do something way easier.

Like most scholars, most of my ideas have ended up in articles and books. And those don& #39;t require anything new from me. You can literally buy 100 copies of my book for what my university pegs as my "daily rate."

...and I& #39;ve moved all of my other scholarship outside of paywalls. So you get that stuff FOR FREE.

Furthermore, I actually believe in most of the causes related to supporting public education. So I don& #39;t actually want to charge you anything.
And I think I am most definitely not alone. In fact, I& #39;m sure other people already do what I am about to propose.

And just think about all the cool books you could buy with all the money you save!
The real snake-oil sellers charge ten times what scholars charge.
Take all that money and buy books -- like honest-to-goodness scholarship -- for everyone in your group. Dump the TED talks.

Tell scholars that you& #39;re doing this as an experiment in community empowerment. Ask them if they can provide you with their publisher discounts (they can).
Ask them if they would do a one-hour Zoom call and donate their time to public education.
