Another Take on a Teacher Voices Blog

So as I was perusing around on the internet looking for good examples of teacher voice, I came across the blog found at this address: http://teacherleaders.typepad.com/tln_teacher_voices/

This blog takes a very different view of teacher voice. While our blog is focused on giving teachers a place to voice their concerns about problems, this blog seems to be focused on giving teachers solid tools for current education issues. As I began to think about the differences, I couldn't help but wonder about the value of each type of teacher dialogue. It also made me consider the varied ways in which teachers can and should use their voice...we should not only just to voice concerns and issues, but then we should also build on these concerns to find ways to address our concerns. Teachers must use their voices to share about problems/concerns in order to them use their voices to find solutions to these concerns. It seems that both approaches to teacher voice/dialogue need to be used in conjunction to get the most out of our powerful voices.
