Social Media Illuminates: Some Truths about School Reform
Blumenreich, Megan; Jaffe-Walter, Reva
Phi Delta Kappan, v97 n1 p25-28 Sep 2015
Montclair Cares About Schools (MCAS) is a citizen-activist group in Montclair, New Jersey, that used Facebook, emails, and online petitions to inform and organize citizens on local educational policy issues. Emerging in response to a new superintendent's plans to reshape Montclair schools with new teacher evaluations, administrative hires, and extra districtwide quarterly assessments, MCAS has had some degree of success in opening a dialogue and keeping the community informed about changes to the Montclair School District.
