Schools are focused on pandemic recovery for younger kids. But data shows older students were hit harder. They had higher expectations, more complex material to catch up on. Now they're overlooked, and federal funding is gone. bit.ly/4qUEkp4

Researchers say recovery efforts have often focused on younger grades, but older students may need long-term support to address deeper, persistent setbacks. bit.ly/4qUEkp4

Pandemic hit fourth graders harder than kindergartners. Now those students are in high school, still struggling. But recovery efforts focus on younger kids. When will schools address the students most harmed by closures? bit.ly/4qUEkp4

As a former intern for @DHSgov, I'm planning to join the general strike Friday called for by student groups at the University of Minnesota as a small act of solidarity, due to recent immigrationenforcement actions. Encourage those of you who can, and feel so moved, to do the same

Teachers create engaging, differentiated lessons for students. Yet they sit through lecture-heavy, one-size-fits-all PD. No discussion. No reflection. They know better for students. Why do we accept less for ourselves? bit.ly/44m5GeT

A teacher friend of mine recently told me about a first-gen student who took applied early decision, not understanding what it meant, became locked into William and Mary, which wasn't a good fit for him, and has now dropped out. Sad
Today is the deadline for Early Decision. I've got a new report out called "The Use and Abuse of Early Decision." I'm worried that the political and financial pressure created by the Trump Administration is going to lead some colleges to lean in even more on ED.

You walk to your local coffee shop. It's somewhat quiet. Various newspapers, neatly pressed and smelling of ink, litter the tables. You look around, and people are actually reading them

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it — pure cotton, pure wool, some Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn. The buttons are sewn with a firm, stiff shank. You put the jacket on. It fits beautifully. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable.
