Helping teachers learn what works in the classroom − and what doesn’t − will get a lot harder without the Department of Education’s Institute of Education Sciences The nonpartisan arm of the Education Department supports research and shares data on student progress. It identifies what works and what doesn’t.

We just recently had a report published that demonstrated students are still behind after COVID. Closing this center shows a lack of understanding of and disdain for what teachers do. Students deserve better than this.

I used some of these statistics for my systematic review on the potential lasting impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the neural development of students.

To understand a problem, we need data. To know if a solution to a problem is working, we need data.

Yes! I am so excited to watch this. I only learned of Canada's history with slavery as an adult. We can't move forward if we don't know our past.

The only way to stop repeating history is to know it. My wish is that we can move towards recognizing that Black history, Indigenous history, Queer history, and other histories are taught as part of our collective history.
