It took a couple of days, but I finally gathered my thoughts on NHJ’s piece and The New York Times. My small contribution:
The New York Times platformed damaging ideas about education policy for a decade. Now it must correct the record. Read our latest post below 👇

The ed-tech revolution wrought profound transformations on the schools and the students in them, and now decades later we're reckoning with the poisonous fruits of that radical transformation. Check out our newest Substack article here 👇 educationprogress.org/p/through-the-…

We're suing the makers of i-Ready. Here's why: educationprogress.org/p/were-suing-t…
Education policy has two camps. Both are wrong. @tracewoodgrains, founder of @educprogress, live at Manifest: "For a long time in the United States, education policy has been fitting around a one size fits all narrative... everyone understands on some level that kids learn at different paces, but education policy has wanted to treat this as a third rail." "One crowd says, 'Remove all standards, remove standardized tests, remove the advanced programs.' The other says, 'We should have a high flat standard'... that's the No Child Left Behind ethos. We will get everyone up to this flat standard by 2014. And the problem is that's just nonsense." "What we're focused on is how can you meet kids where they are at... test them, teach to their actual level rather than having some hypothetical standard of what a kid this age should know."

Check out the CEP on the newest episode of Chalk & Talk! Thomas and David join Anna Stokke to discuss how convictions become obstacles to evidence-based practices in education. 🎧Watch or listen to the podcast at the links below!🔗 Thanks to @rastokke for a great episode!
Great episode. A lot of the problems in education are ideologically driven, but some are simple mistakes of fact. Making it easier for qualified students to take advanced classes serves the public interest.
Thousands of capable students are being blocked from advanced math—not because they lack ability, but because of flawed placement systems. In this episode, I talk with Thomas Briggs and David Shuck about how this happens. 📚 🔗 Link below
🚨New episode now live! Thomas Briggs and David Shuck join me to discuss why bad education ideas can persist—even in the face of evidence. We unpack flawed advanced math placement decisions, San Francisco's detracking experiment, the New York math briefs controversy, discussing what went wrong and why. Link below 👇
Why hasn't education seen as much progress as other fields over the last century, like medicine or transportation? The answer is that education is caught between a mountain of regulations on one side, and a chaotic, unregulated wild west on the other. Read more below!
Stanford's education research center, YouCubed, revised a paper after I pointed out incorrect data. The new version revealed bigger problems.
New piece up at @CenterforEdProg about grade inflation - check it out! educationprogress.org/p/grade-inflat…
The excellence of America’s youth has been systematically suppressed by the institutions whose explicit job is to develop it. For a generation, "equity" has been the hammer that ideologues have used to eliminate excellence in schools There are 3 ways to neutralize that weapon: 1) reject the premise that "equalizing outcomes" is a worthy goal 2) show that eliminating public pathways to excellence hurts the kids who most depend on them 3) reclaim the word "equity" to include the academic needs of ALL kids, including high-achievers Thanks to @CenterforEdProg for collaborating with me on this essay on the failures of equitable education
I wrote and lobbied for Illinois’ tax credit scholarship program. Have a new piece up @CenterforEdProg about the new federal tax credit scholarship program - how it works, how it’s different from state programs, and what to watch for in the coming months. educationprogress.org/p/the-1700-que…
Cultivating talent in American public schools has never been more important. Winning the AI race is both an economic and geopolitical urgency, and it will require caring about excellence in education again. 👇
The research is clear: academic acceleration benefits faster learning students academically, socially, and emotionally. Even so, US schools routinely deny it. John Boyle shows what happens when schools force brilliant children into lockstep, and what we should do instead.
