Did you know that Twitter is host to an ongoing, vibrant education reform conversation?   Following education reformers on Twitter is a great way to catch up with current educational debates on the local and national level.

 

Sometimes the trouble can be figuring out where to start.  That’s why we’re offering our own suggestions of who to follow!  Below is a sampling of some of our favorite education tweeters, with one list dedicated to DC reformers and another to reformers addressing countrywide educational issues.
