School librarians improve literacy outcomes. It is time that we stop thinking of school libraries as a luxury or an outdated, quiet room. All schools need a school library staffed by a certified school librarian. #TLSky #skybrarian www.americanprogress.org/article/inve...
Investing in School Libraries and Librarians To Improve Literacy Outcomes
Libraries and librarians not only spark a love of learning; they are crucial to reversing low reading assessment scores across the country.

You know what you want your students to learn, but what do YOU want to learn about your students?

👀 to learn about observational assessments.

I think this means changes are coming for NCES' student race data as well! "Federal agencies that release data about race and ethnicity are required to ...get all of their surveys and statistics in line with the new requirements by late March 2029." #edusky #edpolisky #eddata
BREAKING: The #2030Census and federal surveys are getting new checkboxes for “Middle Eastern or North African” and “Hispanic or Latino” after the White House’s OMB approved the first changes to U.S. government standards on racial and ethnic data since 1997

If you care about #eddata, this is not good.
Yesterday, June 2, was an interesting day at work. I was reporting a story about how the Education Department hadn't delivered a report to Congress on the Condition of Education, despite the June 1 deadline mandated by law. 🧵 (1/9)

Federal Data Is the Basis for Everything We Know About Schools. It Must Be Saved
Roy & Sibilia: NCES must have the resources to fulfill its mission, or America will be making decisions about schools based on hunches, not facts.

This is the power of collecting better #eddata - are teacher prep programs sharing these stats with candidates? helping them understand where their degree/credentials might have the most power? Are school boards thinking about how they make the #specialeducator roles more attractive to candidates?
But, of course, I have to offer a few more thoughts. First, we should not be treating the teacher labor market as if staffing challenges are generic. They are way more prevalent for some teaching categories (e.g., special education).

As a parent, I was tired of "black box" school rankings. I wanted raw performance data without the noise, so I built it myself.

The School Advocate (theschooladvocate.com) ranks public schools in CA, GA, OR, PA, and WA based on actual state test scores - just the numbers.

We did a study in 2007, and a small part of it was just counting the different #edtech teachers accessed to get info about their kids. 73 in just one district. Similar numbers in other districts we visited a couple years later. #eddata
