New podcast episode! In the newest episode of the amplifiED, @joshcrosson, @mattmcshaver, & Jim Davnie with @MNYouth discuss the issue of chronic absenteeism in schools & efforts being made in the #mnleg to address the issue. podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/edall…
In a disastrous year, states that mandate FAFSA completion fared a bit better. @ageduld93 reports buff.ly/3JwG2t3
“If at one point the FASFA overhaul was neither a money nor a management issue, it is now both, and students will continue to suffer for it.”
“If at one point the FASFA overhaul was neither a money nor a management issue, it is now both, and students will continue to suffer for it.”
Reason 6,923 why we need six times as many state government reporters as we have: Apparently Minnesota is on the verge of pushing back the release of end-of-year student assessment data (available by individual student almost immediately) from 9/1 to 12/1.
Really grateful for the bipartisan leadership being shown by @RepKeeler and @BenBakebergMN on tackling chronic absenteeism in MN schools. The kind of collaboration students need in order to move the needle on this critical issue! #mnleg
The drop in FAFSA (financial aid form) completions by state is jaw dropping. Look at CA. by the amazing @PhilOnEdTech onedtech.philhillaa.com/p/visualizing-…
Three studies about teachers shortages and ways to address them. What I learned: 1) Some teaching fields have worse shortages than others. Training more people to become teachers or paying all teachers more may be good ideas, but they likely will not relieve shortages. 🧵(1/4)
Incoming college students are leaving money on the table, and most don’t even realize it. We talk with Thomas Anderson, ED of @Students7United, about how low completion rates of the FAFSA are affecting MN students & the need for #universalFAFSA. podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/edall…
Best news I’ve heard out of #mnleg all week. Congrats and thanks to the great folks at @FosterAdvocates for this huge win for students! m.startribune.com/minnesota-lawm…
We’re about halfway through the #mnleg session-what education priorities have taken shape? What has a chance at becoming law, and what’s been tabled? Get an update on our new blog: edalliesmn.org/blog/2024-mid-…
"In the four years since the pandemic closed schools, U.S. education has struggled to recover on a number of fronts ... But perhaps no issue has been as stubborn and pervasive as a sharp increase in student absenteeism." (via @nytimes) nytimes.com/interactive/20…
Prone restraint was involved in 740 of the 1,036 deaths reported on by the AP including 12 of the 15 deaths that happened in Minnesota in the last decade. Prone restraint is dangerous and does not belong in schools (or anywhere, really it seems). #mnleg

Celebrating a huge win for public education funding by contributing some sales tax revenue to help pay for it
The bill passed the Senate with only 3 no votes. Mississippi f-ing did it.
Every Republican and every single Democrat in the Mississippi House of Representatives just voted to pass a weighted student funding formula. Should the Senate follow, low income, ELL, and SpEd students will be meaningfully recognized in the way the state funds public schools.
This makes so much sense and should be obvious. Why try to reinvent the wheel when there are SS and Sci standards? Content reading should be tied into what children are expected to learn. I think @nellkduke is working on bridging this gap.
A critical reform we could make in ed policy and practice would be to signal to teachers in advance the knowledge domains of reading passages on state reading tests (which aren't going away). It would control for background knowledge and incentivize coherent curriculum.
@FaithBorkowsky For several reasons, my hope is for passages on state rdg tests to adjust to the science, engineering, social studies, and arts standards rather than for the standards or curriculum to adjust to what's currently on state rdg tests. And yes, I think this would have great benefits!
