Let’s just assume No Child is Left Behind. Let’s just believe Every Student Succeeds. Let’s just trust all states have high standards.

Hearing that nearly all the employees in the statistics agency inside the Education Department -- NCES (National Center for Education Statistics) -- have lost their jobs. Rumors that the NAEP test -- the nation's report card -- will no longer be run by NCES. This info is not confirmed.

Understanding “what works” in education is HARD and is what many of us have dedicated our professional lives to figuring out.
Having some wanna-be tech bros come in and decide they know better than researchers & experts is beyond infuriating and insulting to the ed research community.

The issue of classroom management shows up again and again as an issue for starting teachers. I think it points to a lack of inservice-preservice connections in diagnosing what new teachers need.

How can America help 4.2 million young people not in school, college, or the workforce?
Post-pandemic, advocates and others have been rethinking efforts to help “opportunity youth,” adolescents who have disconnected from school and work. A resurgent Detroit offers a case study.
