“not one of the recommendations was a new idea to NCES,” said Peggy Carr. “Many had already been implemented or we were working on when the center was dismantled."

Got it. Yeah I misinterpreted many of these as implying the methods are relatively useless rather than the frustration with how they are commonly misused. Here I at least partly blame editors and reviewers for not asking the “so what” questions before accepting such papers.
I think the most important point in your post is the ending comment: “without other corroborating information, I wouldn’t be making strong claims.” Isn’t this true of any method?
#3 confuses me. Isn’t this simply a misuse of a method not an inherent part of it? Isn’t one advantage of these analyses that they are model-based so that classes remain latent when you run subsequent latent class regressions etc?
Now do “averagarian” methods…
The 6th Annual Center for Rural School Mental Health Conference may have been the best one yet! We learned so much from our school, youth, and university partners. Till next year. @mopreventionsci.bsky.social

Get it. My complaint is that many requests for mtgs I receive are not about things that take much intellectual effort. In fact some can be answered yes or no! And absolutely agree we have too many emails and intrusions, so no easy answers here.
Should be a new personality dimension of Big 5/6 (Meetingism?). I, and many others I know, loathe the need for calls/mtgs when written text should suffice. Mtgs are important for connectedness of course, but you know anything in person is gonna quadruple the time commitment so it better be worth it!
Have several datasets you need to combine but are unsure how to combine them? This post might help.

Gov. JB Pritzker signed an executive order that formally restricts the unauthorized collection of autism-related data by state agencies.
Pritzker’s order responds to federal efforts under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to create databases of personal information for those with autism.

Would be good to alert AU to fix this sentence in their summary: “Cutting annual public R&D spending in half would making the average American approximately $10,000 poorer.”
Another free resource from @mopreventionsci.bsky.social and @ncrsmh.bsky.social: a Professional Development Hub ruralsmh.com/implementati.... Although designed for the Early Identification System, the tools are relevant for building capacity to implement any comprehensive approach in schools.
The university refused to make changes it said would "dictate what private universities can teach" and "whom they can admit and hire," among other things.

Please take a second to read my statement on the termination of the Adolescent Medicine Trials Network for HIV Interventions. This is devastating to science but even more so to the youth impacted. Thank you
Exactly!
The people who are being fired did everything right to achieve the American Dream. They worked hard to get qualifications for a career that gave them a decent living and, bonus, served the community. To see them discarded like this should outrage all of us!!
The IES Practice Guides and resources inform every single literacy course & training for pre-service & in-service teachers. Any literacy intervention that has evidence behind it has evidence because the studies were funded by IES, OSEP, or by NIH. Every $ spent on IES research saves tax payer $.
Just curious is anyone aware of NCEs being granted for any federally funded grant (NIH, IES, NSF, DOJ) since 2/1? I’m aware of a lot of submitted requests but not aware of any approved so far!
If you have a federal grant, I *highly* recommend going to this Friday's webinar on responding to grant terminations.
Lisa Brown, former general counsel at Dept of Ed, will present along with other lawyers.

Hi everyone! The Department of Special Education at Vanderbilt University is searching for a Chair and Professor to join our faculty in the summer of 2026.
Please share with your networks and happy to chat with anyone interested! jobs.chronicle.com/job/37806156...
If you need help explaining to people what the Department of Education does and why it matters, this, from Ben Miller (hosted by @mattyglesias.bsky.social) is as good as it gets open.substack.com/pub/matthewy...
The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought:
- 1.65 million deaths from AIDS
- 500,000 from lack of vaccines
- 550,000 from lack of food aid
- 290,000 from malaria
- 310,000 from TB
Good explainer. "UNC-Chapel Hill stands ready to collaborate on the development of a modernized indirect cost model. A new model should reduce inefficiencies and duplication in mandatory regulations and harmonize them across agencies." research.unc.edu/2025/03/13/u...
