Ethical guidelines for this site

The Internet is rife with blogs and other Web sites that spread rumor and lack standards. The purpose of this set of ethical guidelines is to let you know that the reporting and other editorial content of New Mexico Teacher To Teachers has integrity.

Above all, the goal of this site is to provide information and analysis that helps teachers view the things that are being said about education. I don’t claim to be unbiased, but I promise to do my best to be fair and truthful.

Factual reporting
I pledge to never knowingly publish material that is inaccurate. I’m human and, at times, make mistakes, but I also pledge to correct such mistakes.

Reader participation
Opinions are welcome on this site in the form of comments and, in some instances, guest columns. Such opinions must be factual and meet the criteria of this site’s comments policy.

Advertising
I will not allow advertising to affect, in any way, the editorial content of this site. Advertisers get no greater access than anyone else: They can share their concerns, and their concerns will be heard. That’s the same level of attention I give readers who contact me.

A special disclosure
One of the most important things those involved in the formation of public policy can do is disclose potential conflicts. That applies especially to public officials, but should also apply to bloggers. With that said, here’s the one and only potential conflict: I am an educational consultant with ties to several software vendors: Lexia, Mindplay, Reading Plus and Symphony Math. In no way does that affiliation affect my editorial decisions on this blog.
