Yesterday's on-line edition of Education Week includes a story about The Tom Mooney Institute for Teacher & Union Leadership, which "is a new effort by seasoned leaders within the teacher union movement to develop the leadership skills and organizational capacity of emerging progressive teacher unionists."

Named for a former Ohio Federation of Teachers president who passed away unexpectedly in 2006, the Institute aims, in the words of co-directors Mark Simon and Naomi Baden, to make unions "constructive partners in education reform." You can learn more about the Insitute in a January Education Week commentary published by Simon and Baden.)
