"In the U.S., an average of about 900 people a week have died of COVID-19 over the past year, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."
Lydia Polgreen@polgreen.bsky.social · 2y agoIt is truly wild that it is estimated that more than 20 million people died of Covid and the prevailing vibe is that the world overreacted. That is an astonishing toll! More people died of Covid in the US than in the Civil War. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...

How do you instill the triumph of democratic virtues given the president-elect’s long history of bullying, lying and espousing violence? Not easily.

As a former National Teacher of the Year, I’ve seen how federal protections in education are more than policies—they’re lifelines. Eliminating the USDOE risks dismantling decades of progress. Please Read my article on why equity in education is for all: shannapeeples.medium.com/who-will-pro...

As a journalist, I’m often asked what it would sound like if the Democrats were forceful, proactive, & affirmative in their views on policy & values regarding immigration. This conversation with Andrea Flores, moderated by Jose Antonio Vargas, is exemplary. Worth your time. youtu.be/2By9y9fkT-M?...

Talented Students Are Kept From Early Algebra. Should States Force Schools to Enroll Them? - EdSurge News
Talented students aren't always making it into early algebra classrooms. Is having states mandate it the best way to change that?

A deeply interesting article on a growing instructional practice for early math learners👇 But I'm always surprised to learn about popular classroom methods & then read "The empirical evidence...is thin" It's a reminder that research-practice "gaps" in education are actually yawning chasms. #EduSky
Jill Barshay@jillbarshay.bsky.social · 2y agoProblems in math typically rear their heads much later than in reading -- struggling with fractions in 5th grade, algebra in high school and math requirements in college. One idea is to focus on early childhood math foundations and something called "subitizing." hechingerreport.org/proof-points...
"For students, AIR’s Goldhaber argues the time to intervene in math is in elementary school to make sure more low-income students have strong basic math skills. 'Do it before middle school,' said Goldhaber. 'For many students, middle school is too late.'" hechingerreport.org/proof-points...

Surveys find access to algebra is only one problem in schools where teaching quality is 'less optimal'

A national survey of 20,000 parents reveals grades are no longer the most trusted indicator of academic success. Instead, teacher communication has taken the lead. www.the74million.org/article/surv...
