@AlexJQuigley @englishspecial "We recommend avoiding this translation in all cases, and that con- sumers of research results look with skepticism toward research results translated into units of time."

[John F. Pane @JohnFPane]

@AlexJQuigley @englishspecial I am a coauthor of the article you cited. Your claim that "...months progress comes top" is exactly the opposite of what the article concludes.

My new Op-Ed with Andie Phillips & Becky Kilburn on the 4 day school week in the @The74. We have to think hard about why districts are adopting it and if it’s worth the costs to learning. Are we avoiding addressing harder, root cause issues? https://t.co/2kbdQowmPG

Supporting civic education and media literacy is one way to counter #TruthDecay and restore the role of facts in the U.S.

With this in mind, we developed a series of lesson plans to help educators teach their students how to engage with public policy.🧵https://t.co/iG82ofAzfj

[Tania Coderre (she/her) @CoderreT]

Kids need to learn media literacy: how to ID credible sources and become critical consumers & creators of information. @RANDCorporation created middle school lesson plans to help teach these skills. https://t.co/XORxsPRBOy #socialstudies #lessonplans #teaching #k12
