Immigration policy is #EdPolicy 😞

My colleagues & I spent some time digging into the Education chapter of Project 2025.

In our new piece for Brookings, we highlight 4 key takeaways that folks who care about public education should know about the education policy agenda outlined in Project 2025:

Does AI change what “hands-on learning” means?
Maybe the bigger question is this:
What cognitive work should students do themselves, and what should they be allowed to delegate to AI?

How curious! References to climate change and evolution have mysteriously vanished from a proposed revision for Iowa's state science standards. 🤔

Beware the misguided use of scatterplots to infer causation from correlation.

"Newer, quasi-experimental research finds more consistent evidence that past funding increases had positive effects on student outcomes."

Public health policy is #EdPolicy
We provide early evidence on the impact of vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks on learning opportunities, and the schooling disruptions that the growing number of low-coverage communities could face if outbreaks continue to spread. See working paper: edworkingpapers.com/ai25-1358
The West Texas Measles Outbreak and Student Absences
Declining child-vaccination rates are driving a measles resurgence in the US, yet little evidence documents how these outbreaks may disrupt schooling. Using daily absence data from a school district a...

Phang: Teachers are some of the least paid, most underappreciated people, and they work in such an intimate way in our lives. Your kids spend more time at school than they do at home, at least in waking hours. So why not encourage our teachers? Why create this oppressive environment?
