Blake Heller and I wrote an editorial about Trump’s proposals to end federal funding for adult education- whatever comes for FY 2026, it’s worth keeping an eye on this often overlooked part of our education sector @blakeheller.bsky.social www.the74million.org/article/now-...
Now Is Not the Time to Zero Out Adult Education
Mumma and Heller: Adult education works, especially for English learners. Congress should reject Trump’s proposed cuts.

#latergram Really enjoyed my visit to South Bend for the Notre Dame Civic Education Working Group! Great opportunity to meet with folks from across disciplines thinking about the role of schools in preparing children to become citizens. Thanks to David Campbell and Joseph Kahne for hosting!
Jim Ryan was dean when I was a PhD student at HGSE. I hold him in very high esteem. As a small anecdote, when I faced some serious medical issues as a first year student, he kindly wrote me a personal note expressing support and well wishes. I am really saddened by this.

Thread in the am but if you want the main takeaway: The 2024 Digest of Education Statistics (under the current administration) includes just 27 tables by the (Congressionally mandated) deadline—far fewer than the nearly 270, on average, published in prior years www.brookings.edu/articles/the...
The U.S. Department of Education is far behind on producing key statistics | Brookings
Federal education data releases have slowed dramatically, with major gaps in the 2024 Digest and Condition of Education report.

Cara Jackson@carajackson.bsky.social · last yr."Combined with two earlier rounds of NSF cuts at in April, education now accounts for more than half of the nearly 1,400 terminated grants and almost three-quarters of their $1 billion value."

“The Trump administration is investigating whether Harvard University discriminated against white, Asian, male or heterosexual workers in its hiring and promotion practices… the charge notes Harvard’s share of tenured white male faculty dropped from 64% to 56% from 2013 to 2023.”
Pleased to see my work with @blakeheller.bsky.social showing strong returns to investment in adult English language training featured in a post by New America- I am DEEPLY concerned by the proposed cuts to adult ed funding, which would decimate this sector. www.newamerica.org/education-po...
Adult Education Pays for Itself. Why Does Trump Want to Gut it?
Congress should reject the Trump Administration’s attack on adult education and increase funding for this important program.

Big day in school choice… I have always found it an unambiguous/fundamental part of the definition of charters that they are traditional public schools operated by private organizations. As someone who has worked for a traditional public school district and charter network, I’m watching closely…
