Ed News for K12 Researchers: See Covid recovery by district, state tests vs. NAEP, your confidential survey FOIA’d, money matters in ED 2025: https://www.scoop.it/topic/ed-news-for-k12-researchers                                                                                                                                       

 

 

These are interesting research and results that recently were released. You may find a couple of articles of interest. This is for my K12 research friends who are foxes. The fox has diffuse interests, with a breadth of knowledge and the ability to use multiple frameworks to understand the world. The hedgehog, often an academic researcher, is more focused, with deep knowledge of one thing, using a single idea, theory or frame of reference.
