How the Education Department helps students with disabilities get an education Special education laws and the U.S. Department of Education have evolved together over nearly five decades. Now, the Trump administration seems to want to separate the two.

There's a lot of info (and links!) packed into one place. I hope it's helpful. Please share.

NAEYC ECE Workforce Surveys From the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, NAEYC has been committed to learning more about the scope of our nation’s current child care crisis.

From The National Association for the Education of Young Children:

Dark blue background with a graphic of a red and white megaphone. The text reads, "Action Alert: Preserve Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act"

A lawsuit, Texas v. Becerra, seeks to eliminate Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. If successful, it would have a devastating impact on people with disabilities in all areas, including education.

WARNING! This past week, we saw that Frontiers in Education announced this call for proposals. The four editors (myself included) had NO knowledge of this. We were never asked to participate. We are currently trying to get this removed from Frontiers. Please do not submit to this.
