Ruby Payne feature in the NY Times

Interesting article that looks at Ruby Payne and her "Framework for Understanding Poverty." This article is positively slanted towards her but does bring up the critiques of her work in a substantial way.

If you want a copy of her Framework, we've got them in the office for free. Just ask.

The Maiden Post

Hopefully, this blog will be a quick and easy way to distribute information "through the wire" as Kanye has said.
At times, we'll post links, quick questions for discussion, links, and information about events in St. Louis. The audience is primarily Teach For America - St. Louis corps members, alumni and staff.

Flipping the script since 2002,
Ron
