“We’re just hoping kids with disabilities aren’t going to have nothing left for them.”
From the archives, by @josephinelee in 2023: Before Texas, there was #Arizona. A look at how their voucher program used vulnerable students to attack public schools. https://www.texasobserver.org/voucher-program-arizona-privitization-public-schools-disabilities/
Formal education is often used as a measure of linguistic competence, but literacy and print exposure influence grammatical knowledge in ways that standard metrics fail to capture. Tan Arda Gedik examines how these factors contribute to individual differences and why traditional measures may overlook aspects of language proficiency.

“It’s more government, more bureaucracy, more money, and there’s no oversight. And it’s taxation without representation,. The taxpayers don’t get to pick who these private companies are that our tax dollars are going into. So that is not a free market.” https://www.texasobserver.org/school-vouchers-vendors-millions-legislature/

“Precisely at the moment when reading scores have reached an all-time low, the Trump administration and the Republican Party are stripping away the protections and resources that help children who struggle to read.” #kakistocracy #fascism #education #books #reading

Just imagine how different our world could be, if we only started with the basics. As Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis once stated: “There are many little ways to enlarge your child’s world. Love of books is the best of all.”

But the US will have an over abundance of fundamentalist Christian’s who are intent on waging a holy war against all infidels.

Teaching: “deliberate assistance provided us facilitate learning.” Yup, that seems accurate... and indicates the ambiguous nature of our work. #education
Note to friends in my feed: Im sharing all @BenPatrickWill BS posts bc he has stopped posting in Mastodon. I for one think he should post here too as (arguably) Masto has more visibility, even though he has less followers than in BS (maybe he cld try Buffer?). Anyway, I get notified when he posts so I boost everything. His content is too important to not be seen. Please pass it on.

Estos recursos educativos son el resultado de un proceso colaborativo que involucra a voluntarios campesinos y docentes. Juntos creamos guías que son fáciles de usar, que se adaptan a las necesidades de los estudiantes, y siempre estamos dispuestos a recibir retroalimentación y sugerencias para mejorar. Es una forma de empoderar a los educadores y estudiantes para que puedan crear, innovar y aprender de manera efectiva.

Nosotros contamos con recursos educativos abiertos disponibles, como nuestros currículos y guías de pensamiento computacional, diseñados específicamente para el contexto rural. Nuestro equipo ha trabajado duro para crear materiales que sean relevantes y útiles para los niños y niñas rurales, y lo mejor es que los compartimos con la comunidad educativa para que puedan beneficiarse de ellos.

En FEE creemos que la educación abierta es una puerta a nuevas oportunidades para los estudiantes y docentes, es una forma de compartir conocimientos, experiencias y recursos de manera colaborativa, permitiendo que cada uno aprenda y crezca a su propio ritmo. Para nosotros la educación abierta no se trata solo de acceso gratuito a recursos educativos, sino de la libertad de adaptarlos, compartirlos y hacerlos propios.
In addition to #USAGM, #Trump's order also targeted the Federal Mediation & Conciliation Service [#FMCS], the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars [#WilsonCenter], the Institute of #Museum & #Library Services [#IMLS], the US Interagency Council on #Homelessness [#USICH], the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund [#CDFIfund], & the Minority Business Development Agency [#MBDA] for cuts.
It is sad to hear and see the first response that education leaders give to include “the data.” For almost every situation you face, neither the problem nor the solution is “in the data.” #education #schools #highschool #highered #leadership
Print exposure impacts grammatical knowledge more than years of schooling. Tan Arda Gedik examines how literacy is a stronger predictor of linguistic abilities than formal education in Turkish speakers. Conventional metrics may not apply universally.

Teacher in Idaho told she must remove sign saying "Everyone is welcome here" because it had images of hands with a variety of "skin tones."
School officials said "that it was not the message that was at issue, but rather the hands of different skin tones on the poster."
Sadly, we need to know about things like this so that we can oppose them & keep them from growing & reenforcing each other.
