The Gadfly tackles what is arguably the most important issue we face in education: how to measure school quality and the use of tests in particular. It's a good conversation.

Beyond test scores: Debating how to measure school quality | Episode 988 of The Education Gadfly Show
This week, Fordham’s president emeritus Checker Finn and Laura Hamilton of the Center for Assessment join us for a polite debate on whether school quality should be judged by more than test scores.

The naturalist Jane Goodall died today at 91. Hope, she argued, is not merely “passive wishful thinking” but a “crucial survival trait.” Revisit a conversation with Goodall, from 2021: nyer.cm/F55JtsS

Important new evidence from the great team at University of Arkansas that the "bench" of potential teachers who already have their teaching credentials & are working in public schools but not yet teaching is a lot shorter than we've found using older data in WA: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

🍎 Millions of children in the U.S. struggle with food insecurity. In this policy brief, @orgulozturk.bsky.social (@sc.edu) makes the case for expanding the Community Eligibility Provision Program, the largest schoolwide free meals initiative in the U.S.

Read the brief: scholars.org/contribution...
"Expanding access to schoolwide free meals has the potential to address food insecurity among students, decrease stigma, and reduce pressure on local nonprofits."

My book, a labor of love, with 15 years of my own research and the stories of countless women, is out today!! I document why women's time has gotten so squeezed, and then provide actionable, evidence-based strategies on what we can do about it! So many people on here did the research in the book! 🙏

I cannot tell you how grim the AI in higher ed situation is. Many of the students have completely surrendered to letting AI do their homework, badly, I might add. How do you fix this? Truly, what the hell do we do, beyond what grading can address, which isn't a solution?

We decided to wait instead and submit a revised version with graduation outcomes to the Economics of Education Review. That is the version that is now published. Crazy how much grit this paper about grit has taken!
