A visual of the a block tower toppling as one block is removed (if you know the game Jenga, this is it). Text reads: The science of reading falls without IES (Institute of Education Sciences). Did you know? IES funded many research projects that provide the foundation for the science of reading (and much of what we know about effective teaching.) Now this funding is under threat. Call (202) 224-3121 and tell your Congressional reps: Hands off IES!
Take this as your sign to make yourself a 15 minutes calendar appt anytime this week and call your congressional reps. Then feel great when the call takes less than 5 minutes. Do it for science. #SaveIES #educationResearch #K12

A screenshot of a post from the Department of Education terminated 89 contracts worth $881mm. Text above it reads: What's Happening? In February, the "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE) announced cuts to contracts at the Institute of Educations Sciences (IES)
Image of blocks spellings out the word "RISK" and the text above reads: "Many advocates for the Science of Reading (SOR) were stunned, because IES is critical to the research that provides the foundation of what we know as SOR.
Image of a report card. Text reads: What is IES? IES funds and review educational research, keeps educational statistics, and administers the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), aka "the Nation's Report Card."
This is a week of action to Stand Up For Reading Research. We hope you'll join us. Swipe through for details and how to get started. #SaveIES #SoR #ReadingResearch. More in the comments.

The Education Department RIF represents “a tsunami,” says Felice Levine, executive director of the American Educational Research Association. “It leaves IES without even a skeletal staff to do the work that Congress has mandated.” www.science.org/content/arti...
13.03.2025 19:00 — 👍 12 🔁 12 💬 0 📌 1My experience with NCES data in my masters degree was what got me interested in leaving the classroom and doing education research as a career. We've learned so much from NCES surveys and it breaks my heart that we are turning our back on it as a country.

If you can read this, thank a teacher. And also a researcher. Education improves through research and excellent research requires funding.
