Subject: 1,000 blog posts in support of NWP

Hi all,

Please add your voice to the chorus of educators from around the country who are blogging in support of the NWP.

We're trying to accumulate 1,000 blog posts by April 8, when the next Continuing Resolution for the federal budget expires. There are already nearly 150 posts - moving stories of the impact of the NWP on the lives of teachers and students - at the archive:

http://coopcatalyst.wordpress.com/2011/03/15/the-blog4nwp-archive/

You can tweet or email your blog post URL to Chad Sansing (twitter: @chadsansing; email: [log in to unmask]) who has been organizing this effort, or post it to this discussion and we'll make sure it gets added to the archive. Remember to try to tag your posts with: #blog4nwp.

FYI, we've gotten a few responses on twitter to this effort from the press office of the Department of Education (see: http://www.andrea-zellner.com/archives/629 and http://aetweets.wordpress.com/2011/03/25/blog4nwp-and-being-bossy/), so let's keep it up!

All the best,
Paul
