First, Harris should embrace, and promise to expand, the Biden-Harris administration’s most successful new K-12 program: federally supported for “high-impact” tutoring in every public school. /2 washingtonmonthly.com/2024/0… @monthly @thomas_toch

Good list. I would also include the following topics:
- Curriculum reform and aligned professional learning.. after dozens of states passed laws to align their ELA curriculum with the science of learning over the last two years do we begin to see the impact or a backlash?

Earlier this summer, @thomas_toch @monthly argued that the Biden-Harris administration's intensive K-12 tutoring program, popular with red state governors, has been so successful that it could form the basis of a new bipartisan school reform movement. /1 washingtonmonthly.com/2024/0…
