We know that, for most folks, data/facts don’t often change their minds. Do we know if perspective changing w/ new facts can be taught? Is this a skill that could be developed... maybe in schools?

[Douglas N. Harris @douglasharris99]

Good idea. This should be standard practice

"Teaching slavery well includes telling stories of black characters not only passively being acted upon but also serving as protagonists in liberation, emancipation, and abolition," writes @UrbanEdDJ. https://t.co/m6RCOXyf3r

In newly accepted paper (in press at Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness) we explore the impact of hosting a student teacher on student achievement. WP version available at https://t.co/tUDioLmJlH

Concluding points from @KiraboJackson:

• Resources matter for outcomes (how they're spent also matters)
• Resources should be targeted early on in a child's life - but also sustained
• Investments should also target interventions that improve soft skills

Couldn’t find the original, but saw this posted and it overloaded my daily dose of hard truth @clayroutledge

[Peter Goff @ptgoff]

@EducationNext We end up with good people who understand themselves and others, but score a bit lower on tests. Sounds like acceptable losses (depending on the magnitude of the dip). I’m not sure that SEL and content are mutually exclusive. Can @KiraboJackson ‘s work can estimate the trade-off?
