Let me know if you will be at #dyslexiacon2025!! International Dyslexia Association Decoding Dyslexia GA Nessy #Hopeville

Virginia is trying to raise standards for students to better prepare them for opportunity. It will be phased in over 4-5 years. That's still *too fast* for various adult interests. Virginia's standards have fallen to the lowest in the country in some cases. 1/2

Over the years, when standards were lowered, I can't remember people speaking up and saying "too fast!" "Phase it in." Ever. This timeline is arguably too long, but regardless it's time to move forward. 2/2 doe.virginia.gov/home/showpubli…

Do they have “math anxiety” or did we not teach them math?

The new Definition of Dyslexia has been released! #DyslexiaCon2025

“Amber Northern, a Virginia Board of Education member, said at the board’s September meeting that the state expects too little of students and that setting higher passing scores will incentivize them to do better on the exams”

Our very own Liz Cohen joined a panel discussion in New Jersey this week to talk about what the future holds for the expansion of tutoring programs across the country. For a better understanding of Liz's findings, be sure to pick up her new book "The Future of Tutoring",

Tonight it’s a pack house for GeorgiaCAN’s dialogue on special education in Clayton County. Proud of our parent network for organizing this event. Parent led, Parent focused.

The most unpopular thing you can do on education policy right now is run on getting rid of tracking in public schools

It’s a good thing a large number of progressive education groups haven’t built their whole identity around opposing the expansion of school choice

"If I had one piece of advice for parents, it would be that they should act quickly if they spot any red flags about their child’s reading progress." Good advice! Subscribe to Aldeman On Education chadaldeman.com/?utm_source=na…

Honored to write for Dystinct Magazine on what “evidence-based” should truly mean in schools. Parents deserve clarity about interventions, how progress is measured, and whether support is closing learning gaps, not just checking boxes. Read here: on.dystinct.org/what-counts-as…

New on The Future of Tutoring: my conversation with Brown University economist Matt Kraft. Did we overhype tutoring? What more do we need to understand about how tutoring works? Why does Matt think tutoring could be the next kindergarten? (Link to interview in comments!)

The public education system has engaged in a profoundly unique experiment to take tutoring to scale as part of pandemic recovery efforts. I had the pleasure of speaking w/ Liz Cohen about what we've learned & where we go from here. thefutureoftutoring.substack.com/p/q-and-a-matt…

Tutoring! Matthew A. Kraft sees a path for sustaining it, perhaps with an assist from AI. But will probably take longer than people think #edchat #edpolicy #edtech
