Mayor Bowser announced a proposed increase to the Uniform Per Student Funding Formula, positive news for D.C. schools, especially given our grim fiscal reality! Here's what it could mean.

In The Age Of AI, New School Models Are Writing Their Own Rules As AI tools evolve at a rapid pace, smaller, more flexible learning environments are well-positioned to test new approaches, develop expectations, and adjust as needed.

The scientific method: It’s not just for science anymore The same exercises in logic and reason can extend to assignments in the social sciences, humanities and more.

I had a great conversation w/ K-12Dive on why the scientific method isn’t just for 🧪science class — it’s a framework to help students think critically, reason with evidence, and navigate complexity across subjects: www.k12dive.com/news/scienti...

Aha-
1. Develop recommendations based on faulty research from the Fordham Institute.
2. Pay corporate #edreform to develop a whole new suite of tests.
3. Leverage corporate AI to score the exams.
4. Use the results to undermine teacher professionalism.
Profit.

Teacher attrition is a systemic issue: burnout, low pay, unclear career paths & public devaluation. The solution isn’t replacing teachers — it’s reforming the structures that push them out. A strong education system starts with supporting & retaining educators.

Okay here is something Controversial M'kay. My Personal belive is that american jobs didn't leave because of NAFTA, it is actually our not well trained workforce. With Our students are not to think nor any trade skills. Why would anyone invest in our domestic stuff when it is rather shit. #Edreform

A new chapter for arts education From oracy and critical thinking to creative expression, the Government's reformed curriculum promises high standards and broad horizons.

Big step forward for arts education! We welcome the Government’s response to the Curriculum & Assessment Review and the chance to help make cultural learning a true entitlement for every child – built on quality, equity and opportunity. curiousminds.org.uk/a-new-chapte...
