“The challenge facing education is not a lack of evidence. In many cases, we know more than ever about how students learn. The challenge is translating that knowledge into the routines, systems, and structures that shape teachers’ daily work.” —@rpondiscio https://t.co/rfaJ3igASp

“Employers, naturally wary of getting sued, lean on college degrees to assess job applicants as opposed to other tests which might be more relevant to the job and fairer to people without degrees.” — @PrestonCooper93 @AEIdeas https://t.co/TZPpIU869O

Today, @natmalkus and Sam Hollon launched the AEI Absence Forecast, a free tool that identifies which students are most likely to become chronically absent later in the year. https://t.co/8JOMiMev79

[Nat Malkus @natmalkus]

After years collecting data and researching chronic absenteeism, today we're releasing our first tool: @AEI's Absence Forecast. It predicts which students will become chronically absent...early enough in the year to effectively do something about it. Free. Web or desktop app. 🧵

“The obstacles to knowledge-rich education are not scientific; they are ideological, professional, structural, political, cultural, and increasingly technological.” — @rpondiscio https://t.co/mxJoNkra9O

[Robert Pondiscio @rpondiscio]

Advocates for knowledge-rich curriculum often speak as though the evidence is finally on their side, and it is. But evidence was never the obstacle. The obstacles are ideological, professional, structural, and political. Many are deeply embedded in the culture of education and in American society itself.

How State Courts Are Quietly Shaping U.S. Education

I discuss with @DerekWBlack at @EducationWeek. https://t.co/zdxson0BLZ

[American Enterprise Institute @AEI]

It’s nonsensical to give entitlements a pass and then pursue symbolic savings in education, one of the few outlays that are plausibly an investment in more than next week, writes AEI’s @rickhess99 https://t.co/PnJHEEw4vs

[AEI Education @AEIeducation]

"A lot of people fall into the trap of thinking all the action happens in Washington . . . but in education the real action is most often in state legislatures and state supreme courts." @DerekWBlack w/@rickhess99 https://t.co/bsEG7rIHpv

Tough Times for an Education Budget Hawk

How can I embrace cuts to ed spending when the savings are washed away by a torrent of intergenerational plunder?

"It’s damn hard to look unsympathetically at future-oriented outlays in education while politicians shovel borrowed cash at the over-65 set." — @rickhess99 https://t.co/feu3DarKvx

"Researchers, educators, and entrepreneurs are developing tools grounded in learning science and tested in real classrooms. What is missing is a reliable mechanism to move proven tools to students at scale while keeping unproven ones out." — Mark Schneider & Auditi Chakravarty ⬇️

"Cosmetology schools could still exist in a world without licensure. But rather than relying on state training mandates, they would need to demonstrate their educational value to attract voluntary paying customers." — @prestoncooper93 & Edward Timmons https://t.co/j1pPuTal81

New from yours truly for @AEIdeas : How we are led astray by powerful and persistent illusions in teaching.

"The greatest danger in education isn’t bad intentions. It's confidence in ideas that are obvious, intuitive, seductive…and wrong."
