Listening to this, I can hear that phone ring five minutes before homeroom just to learn that my plan period would be lost to subbing again. And the anxiety over calling out sick because it would mean six of my peers would be doing the same for me!

Our latest @haveyouheard.bsky.social points to the problem of time—why teachers don’t have enough of it, and what the consequences are.

American teachers already spend more time working than do their peers in other nations. A new framework calls for education policies to address this reality. @jackschneider.bsky.social @shankerinst.bsky.social bit.ly/4xD2QhJ

Like so many education policies, Massachusetts new reading law fails to account for a critical ingredient: teacher time. Instead, it leaves teachers to figure it out. Because we've seen this movie before, we can tell you what will happen: www.masslive.com/opinion/2026... @jackschneider.bsky.social

In our new @shankerinst.bsky.social paper, we show how TIME is the crucial mediating variable when seeking to change classroom practice via policy. (1 of 3)

"Without sufficient time to learn new practices, implement them with fidelity, and collaborate with colleagues, even well-intentioned policies can lead to superficial compliance, temporary transformation, or complete failure."

Really excited to get this into the world. A great team worked on it.

Due tonight at midnight - it’s not lengthy. We hope you’ll apply!

I'm so glad this article is out in the world! We examine how accurately non-binary students are represented in state data and how their school experiences compare with those of their peers. Even in "blue" states, there is much work to do: epaa.asu.edu/index.php/ep... @peterpiazza1000.bsky.social

I spoke with the CT Post about what’s at stake as Bridgeport increases its school bus radius to as much as 2.5 miles. Making it harder to get to school means more students will miss school. www.ctpost.com/news/educati...

Some Bridgeport students may have the longest walks to school in the U.S. after bus route cuts

Nearly 2,400 Bridgeport K-12 students across the city, including hundreds of charter school students, will be affected.

Data systems are not neutral. When states fail to recognize non-binary students, they contribute to their invisibility. @peterpiazza1000.bsky.social and I outline steps states can take to ensure all students are seen, supported, and safe. districtadministration.com/opinion/non-...

Non-binary students are lost in the data. States can help

Yesterday, June 2, was an interesting day at work. I was reporting a story about how the Education Department hadn't delivered a report to Congress on the Condition of Education, despite the June 1 deadline mandated by law. 🧵 (1/9)

Still pondering this bit of wisdom from a student's final essay: "The problem with American education is that American parents don't just want GOOD schools for their kids; they want BETTER schools than other kids get."

People often fail to appreciate that autocracies do civics education too.

This. Power to the states (but only the ones adhering to our specific vision for social policy. If you are not, we will use every tool in our arsenal to punish you into compliance. We will also use tools that aren't in our arsenal).

This news, arriving the day before the "abolish USED" order, captures the fundamental contradiction in this admin's approach to ed policy: A) We will eliminate the fed role and "send educ back to the states" B) We will aggressively wield USED against states to enforce our vision for social policy
