A familiar name to the rescue

You may have wondered what happened to Tom Payzant, former superintendent of the Boston Public Schools. In addition to a position as professor of practice at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, he is now a "Superintendent in Residence" at, yes, the Broad Foundation.
One assumes that it's in this latter capacity that he felt the need to write a rousing defense of the recently fired Maria Goodloe-Johnson, dismissed from the Seattle Public Schools. This is heartily countered by those closest to the action over on the Seattle Education 2010 blog.
Fascinating comments about management style, in particular.
