On the road again, Jerry Weast!

He's barely unpacked from his week long trip to Belfast, Northern Ireland and he is off to Union, New Jersey - it's Jerry Weast - On the Road Again!

N.J. urban school districts to gather at Kean University to share good ideas
By Eliot Caroom/For the Star-Ledger

UNION -- Teachers and administrators from urban schools in North Jersey will gather at Kean University this fall to share ideas on how they can close the gap between their students and those in more affluent suburban districts...

“There are models of success out there, and we’re trying to learn from them,” Weiner said.

Accordingly, the series of four lectures will feature guest speakers from urban school systems around the country that have shown dramatic improvement.

The speakers include Yvette Jackson, the CEO of the National Urban Alliance, based at Columbia University, as well as Jerry Weast, superintendent of schools in Montgomery County, Md. and author of a book published by Harvard Education Press about a decade of dramatic improvements.

Author of a book? If anyone knows what book Superintendent Weast has written, please post to the comments for this article. Thanks!
