This. Thank you, Nate.
I am seeing a lot of takes from edu-folks (notably many, but not all, don’t work in disability or special education) saying that Trump’s threats to dismantle the DOE and public education are not as big and scary as they’re made out to be.

Same. Chaotic. Per usual. 😂
😬😬😬 like you said, ramifications for years to come
I never believed for a moment the committee would do the right thing. 😒
I'm thinking a lot about a post on the other place disparaging the "science of learning" and how it isn't a thing. And, while it's a murky term with multiple disciplines and learning is hard to research, we do need vocabulary to talk about the research on and practice of learning.

And I'll re-state my original point by saying, in response to this passage, that we can, and should, do all of these things simultaneously. Of course we can acknowledge the role of politics in education, examine evidence critically, etc.

Emily Hanford researches for years to report on reading instruction. Her haters, “she’s not even a teacher!”
NPO w/ not one person on their staff who’ve taught 25 1st graders how to read decides they know everything about early lit bc some staff taught MS and HS. This is okay bc “they’re teachers”🙄

Penguins are champion power nappers. They fall asleep thousands of times, each bout a few seconds long, over the course of a single day, researchers have found. It may be an adaptation to their noisy and crowded colonies. www.nytimes.com/2023/11/30/s...

"Relentlessly on the side of all students" may be the nicest thing anyone's ever said about me. ❤️
This is so well-deserved!
Congratulations to Emily Hanford for articulating this important message, arming parents with the knowledge needed to challenge ineffective practice.
And showing teachers that there is another (effective) way.
