The initial results from 2022 show the first-ever declines in math & the largest drop in reading achievement since the 1980s. "These are some of the largest declines in 50 years," says Acting NCES Assoc. Commissioner Daniel McGrath. nationsreportcard.gov/highlights/ltt

The results underscore the widespread educational disruptions that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to the pandemic, lower-performing students were already experiencing declines. Since 2020, students at all levels are moving backward. nationsreportcard.gov/highlights/ltt

Hailed by some as the great equalizer, the beneficiaries of ed tech tend to be white and affluent. Focused on equity by design, Dr. Reich observes that when teachers learn, they have insufficient opportunities to practice. (2/3)

So he and his colleagues are creating digital clinical simulations, practice spaces for teachers. They’re also helping educators to figure out what they can stop doing, to allow more time for what’s useful. (3/3)

Gifted education is an ineffective system in providing for advanced students, as proven by data. Not just is the gifted apparatus not identifying advanced students accurately, but it disproportionately provides for privileged youth instead đŸ§”

#EdEquity
In Fairfax County, Virginia, one of the US’s largest school districts, public schools in wealthier areas, like Carson Middle, have a gifted (‘AAP’) population of >60% of students, while in poor parts of the county, schools like Poe Middle have <10% gifted students. đŸ§”
Neither of these schools are test-in or magnet schools, yet the disparities are immense. Statistically it is near impossible for >60% of the students in a single geographic area to be ‘gifted’. In Fairfax County, higher gifted rates can be directly correlated with wealthier areas

Let's discuss the importance of restorative justice through a critical race lens,@cityofurbana. In 2015, there were 667 total suspensions (in-school and out-of school) at @Urbana116. Of those, 66% were Black students (1)

#RestorativeJustice #RestorativePractice #EdEquityOrElse
The question of safety in schools is not just about preventing extreme forms of violence, fights, or bullying. It is also about shrinking the achievement gap since the way @Urbana116 disciplines its students will either help or hurt academic achievement (2)

#RestorativePractice
“Time spent learning is the single best predictor of positive academic outcomes.” Suspensions and expulsions are time spent out of the classroom (3)

@EriqFelix I am so excited to respond to this thread, but it's gonna have to wait til I'm sitting at a computer to really dive into all of these...

One response I can give right now, we're really lucky to have communities of support in @TheRPGroup & @CAIR_Org in CA.
@EriqFelix @TheRPGroup @CAIR_Org Some of the most generous and supportive folks I know in #highered/#comm_college are IR/#institutionaleffectiveness practitioners. They grasp the scale of issues that our students face & know it takes a community to make changes happen to truly move the needle.
@EriqFelix @TheRPGroup @CAIR_Org The #institutionalresearch practitioners who we desperately need are those who care about education, understand our ed. institutions, work well w/ others, & can help translate complex data & findings in ways that help foster dialogue & move #studentsuccess & #edequity forward.
