Scott Elliott, incoming president of the Education Writers Association, is the education reform reporter at The Indianapolis Star.
That’s a pretty unusual job title and a beat that Elliott pretty much carved out himself. During a live chat, Elliott talked about how he crafted that beat and why it’s increasingly important and relevant. He addressed the complexities of teacher evaluations and education reform, and offered tips on how education reporters can navigate the challenges of covering these topics.
The chat was held in advance of a Specialized Reporting Institute workshop, Grading the Teachers. You can find out more about the McCormick-sponsored workshop and apply for it here.
