Hey supts- just a friendly reminder that it is DEFINITELY ALLOWED to use ARP funds to offer incentives to students (and their families!) to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Official text from ED here: oese.ed.gov/files/2021/07/…

Excited to announce I’ll be starting a PhD in Education Policy @Stanford (!!!) this fall with @seanfreardon and @ProfTDee. These past few years as a teacher have been so full of joy. I am going to miss my students like crazy. 1/2

@CEDR_US I'm sure the logistics are a mess, but I'd submit later start times for middle/high school students, even if it means earlier start times for elementary schoolers (for sharing buses). brookings.edu/wp-content/upl…

Maybe this goes nowhere, but I think it would be good to start a thread on what is the lowest hanging fruit when it comes to educational policy changes that would ultimately benefit students. I'm curious if we reach any sort of consensus on a few ideas. Add your thoughts...

@JoshuaSGoodman Definitely true, but this non-relationship (or weak relationship) held up to including a bunch of those variables you'd think might matter. I alluded to it in that post and then Michael Hartney & Leslie Finger really dig into it here (Table 1) -- edworkingpapers.com/sites/default/…

Agree, though I'd encourage you to read the blog post you cite, beginning with the first sentence: "One of the most enduring—and maddening—aspects of Betsy DeVos’s legacy as secretary of education will be the way she has politically charged complicated issues in education."
Secretary Betsy DeVos@BetsyDeVosED

.@BrookingsInst: If public health were driving districts’ decisions, we might expect to see districts with relatively high COVID-19 rates opting for distance learning. In reality, there is no relationship between reopening decisions and cases. brookings.edu/blog/brown-cen…

Nice piece (and study) here by Mike Gilraine. Always so struck by the magnitude and range of positive effects from (low-cost!) efforts to reduce kids' exposure to pollutants. Low-hanging fruit for policymakers looking to improve health + educational outcomes.

Low-cost interventions, like plug-in air filters, may be able to deliver the promised health and academic benefits of cleaner air in classrooms. brook.gs/3mwg37y
