“Use student achievement to measure teachers” is a catch-phrase or headline you might expect to hear or see working on education policy inside the beltway, but it wasn’t exactly what I expected to see waking up Sunday in Des Moines, Iowa.

In addition to the main story, they featured an interview with Kate Walsh, president of the National Council on Teacher Quality, headlined “Let’s make sure we employ good teachers” and an op-ed by Linda Lantor Fandel, the Editorial page editor, titled “Protect students instead of teachers.” Protect students instead of teachers?! This isn’t Michelle Rhee talking, this is the op-ed page of a Gannett-owned newspaper in central Iowa!
