I am the parent of an adult child with high care needs and can verify that Medicaid makes it easier for us to function as a family. No telling the sacrifices we'd have to make if it were gone.

This is reality. And why we need the DOE.

This order will hurt students with disabilities. See what you can do to help below.

@insidehighered.com is reporting that the Education department is laying off half of staff: "Ahead of the announcement, the department told staff that DC offices would be closed on Wednesday and reopen Thursday." This will hurt communities, campuses, and children in red states and blue.

Thank you for doing this really important service.

All For Literacy Podcast | Dr. Adrea Truckenmiller - All for Literacy Podcast The All for Literacy podcast series forges connections between literacy research, educators’ knowledge and skills, and what we can do now for literacy instruction.

The All For Literacy podcast interviewed me recently on how schools can implement science of reading practices. You can check it out here. literacy.lexialearning.com/all-for-lite...

My department decided to admit fewer students for next year due to all of these uncertainties. The long-term viability of our graduate programming now seems unclear. Training the next generation of scholars is one of the best parts of my job and a core mission of R1 institutions. Dark times indeed.

Dark blue background with a graphic of a red and white megaphone. The text reads, "Action Alert: Oppose Cancellation of Critical Education Research"

Up to 169 IES contracts have been canceled, threatening critical education research. This is a major setback for educators & children with disabilities who rely on evidence-based practices. Urge Congress to protect IES research! #4SpecialEducation

I teach my students how to use the What Works Clearinghouse - which may be on the chopping block along with the rest of the Department of Education - as it is a stellar resource for educators.

One of my favorite IES resources are the practice guides. There are 5 guides with the research about teaching math. Given the two stop work orders I received last night (to stop work on 2 upcoming IES STEM practice guides), I'd download these now.

Also the next generation of teacher preparation educators. We are already in a massive shortage of specialized teachers and teacher educators. This further extends the U.S. race to the bottom in work force. Remember, K-12 teachers (and their college instructors) are essential for ALL professions.

If you or someone you know has had a particular research project suspended by recent actions at IES, please get in touch either by DM or by replying here.

There are journalists who'd like to report on this.

IES supported my doctoral training and program of research. Grants funded by IES go through a rigorous review process, resulting in evidence-based products that support teachers and children. This is a huge step back for the field of education.
