[IWS] Census: OnTheMap [Workforce related maps, profiles, and underlying data]
by Eugene McElroy 17 Sep '11

17 Sep '11

Census Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics *OnTheMap* http://lehdmap.did.census.gov/ OnTheMap Version 5 is the fifth generation of OnTheMap, a web-based mapping and reporting application that shows *where workers are employed and where they live*. It also provides companion reports on age, earnings, industry distributions, as well as information on race, ethnicity, and educational attainment (2009 data only). See the A Note about Race, Ethnicity, and Educational Attainment [PDF, 75KB] for more information. *Race, Ethnicity, and Educational Attainment* variables are made available in OnTheMap through a Beta release of data. OnTheMap provides an easy-to-use interface for creating, viewing, printing and downloading workforce related maps, profiles, and underlying data. Based on 2002-2009 LEHD Origin Destination Employment Statistics (LODES), *OnTheMap is a unique resource for mapping the travel patterns of workers and identifying small-area workforce characteristics.* The project is supported by the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) at the U.S. Department of Labor. OnTheMap also provides a Text-Only Tool for those who prefer or are not able to use the standard mapping interface.

Moving beyond 'blame the teacher'
by mcelroy＠work.rutgers.edu 16 Sep '11

16 Sep '11

This story was sent to you by: eugene -------------------- Moving beyond 'blame the teacher' -------------------- The problem with schools isn't teachers; it's a management system that pushes them aside. By Saul Rubinstein, Charles Heckscher and Paul Adler September 16 2011 Most of the current efforts to improve public education begin with the flawed assumption that the basic problem is teacher performance. This "blame the teacher" attitude has led to an emphasis on standardized tests, narrow teacher evaluation criteria, merit pay, erosion of tenure, privatization, vouchers and charter schools. The primary goal of these measures has been greater teacher accountability — as if the weaknesses of public education were due to an invasion of our classrooms by uncaring and incompetent teachers. That is the premise of the documentary, "Waiting for Superman," and of the attacks on teachers and their unions by politicians across the country.
