Ed News for K12 Researchers: Losing high ability low income students, your state’s postcovid trajectory, NAEP 2024 compared to 2013, accountability war truce:  https://www.scoop.it/topic/ed-news-for-k12-researchers                                                                                                                                       

 

 

NAAD is down to its last two weeks of existence. DRE ended, except for this blast, during the pandemic. What will take its place so that district assessment, evaluation and research staff have a group of colleagues to learn from, compare notes, and collaborate? I am hopeful for what comes next, but concerned for the possible isolation of colleagues in districts.

 

This week’s stories to keep you up to date on recent articles and to provide research related resources that you can share with colleagues.
