For a podcast of this week's Memo, just log in at www.marshallmemo.com later this week and click Podcasts. A correction in last week's cover e-mail: the correct order of the top 12 publications summarized so far in the Memo by "classic" ratio should have been: Cult of Pedagogy, Kappan, Theory Into Practice, The Learning Professional, American Educator, The Reading Teacher, Educational Researcher, Harvard Business Review, The New York Times, Elementary School Journal, Journal of Education for Students Placed At Risk (JESPAR), and Educational Leadership.
