New: More than $50 billion (yes, with a b) for education is in jeopardy if the Education Department eventually proceeds with the layoffs it implemented last Friday. A federal judge put them on hold as of Wednesday. Here's a list of the affected funding streams: www.edweek.org/policy-polit...

Education Department Layoffs Would Affect Dozens of Programs. See Which Ones

Entire teams that work on key funding streams may not return to work even when the shutdown ends.

I also cannot help but think of Oklahoma as Indian country & this as another attempt at pushing white colonial narratives on native kids.

Jess Calarco@jessicacalarco.com · last yr.

Oklahoma is already facing serious teacher shortages. These "exams" will make those gaps harder to fill. And in the process, they'll erode the state's public education system, achieving the real goal of pushing families into private and charter options and into homeschooling instead.

Our argument: ◾ Most research summarizing high quality PD proposes lists of features of quality PD ◾ BUT, while there is a general consensus, there are points of contention. What is more, there are examples of PD that meet the criteria set out on the lists but don't support meaningful learning

🧪💪I know folks are struggling to appeal #NSF grant terminations I created a generic GD version of our team's response plan, including a draft appeal*, based on compiled guidance. *Not a lawyer, best guess! Also, DMs open for ?/feedback. @davidimiller.bsky.social docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Who bears the brunt of these cuts? Well, here's a word cloud of the most frequent terms from the titles and abstracts of terminated grants, with word size proportional to frequency:

A word cloud, with words of different sizes, and different colors, with purple for the largest, red medium, and green small. "Black" stands out prominently in purple. In red, we see "climate", "student", "network", "justice", "identity", "teacher", and "undergraduate".

This is your periodic reminder: NSF's Directorate for STEM Education (EDU) *still* remains paused in new awards. Here's an updated graph. But also see below thread about why the nation needs these #STEMed investments, including for sustaining the *future* of scientific research.

3 EDU awards since Jan 20 in FY25, whereas 82 in FY24.

🧪🚨 NSF's Directorate for STEM Education (EDU) has halted making nearly all new awards since inauguration day. Among *many* other things, EDU runs the Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP). We need to protect the education & training of the next gen of scientists #StandUpForScience Thread👇🧵

...This piece is really important because we are not allowed to communicate this to grantees, but it could potentially help a lot of people about to submit stuff if they just knew to avoid certain words on their biosketch and other support."

Max Kozlov@maxkozlov.bsky.social · 2y ago

From an NIH source re. grant terminations "These searches are pulling in things based on 'other support' sections and biosketches, so science may be held up just because someone mentions that they serve on a DEIA committee, or has a completely different grant that uses a 'problematic' word. (cont)
