"The Hechinger Institute on Education and the Media and the Costen Family Foundation launched a website for journalists that will help them cover one of the most important aspects of education: teaching and learning. The website, "Tools for Reporting on Teaching: What to Look for in Classrooms," provides classroom videos and commentaries from teaching and journalism experts in the hope of helping reporters ask better questions and increase their visits to classrooms. In addition, the site offers summaries of research on the importance of good teachers and how teachers improve their craft. Teaching and learning is perhaps the most challenging and complex issue in education, which makes it all the more difficult to capture in a news story. Hopefully this new tool can help media encapsulate what good teachers do and as a result increase the admiration society has for teachers."
