Our students are go-getters! Sandrika Freeman, an HDFS major at #UNC, is doing an internship with NC DPI at its CCES conference in March, one that's above-and-beyond her program-required internship. #edNC

On this day in 1795, @UNC officially opened, becoming the first public university in the United States to open, and the only one to hold classes in the 18th century.

TLDR: One way to improve test scores in high-poverty schools is incentivizing good teachers to stay.

[Education Week @educationweek]

Offering a one-time bonus could help keep high-performing teachers in high-needs schools and raise student scores, according to a new study. https://t.co/n07xxNs0f8

I feel like I'm disappointing the people who followed me after @eduspringer promised I'd post more whale videos at @APPAM_DC, so here's a retweet of an albino whale from the bay!

@matt_barnum @CEDR_US @KiraboJackson Root is Hanushek’s 1992 Trade-off Between Child Quantity and Quality. The 3x substantive interpretation comes from a 2004 Brookings paper by Hanushek and Rivkin which reports .5 vs 1.5 grade level equivalents for students taught by low- vs high-performing teachers.

My 11-yr-old son asked to post this poll as a science experiment. He is very interested in this question & hopes to have reliable data. Can you please RT? He would be very grateful.

Do you think a human brain can think, in principle, a finite or an infinite number of thoughts?
