NC bill eliminates standardized testing requirements to become a licensed teacher The bill goes further than the State Board of Education requested to make it easier to become a teacher in North Carolina.

We can have a good conversation about what standards, assessments, and/or evaluations are needed to ensure a teacher is ready for the classroom. But miss me with the idea that you can just walk in off the street and be a teacher. It’s a profession.

I currently have two fully-funded PhD opportunities in my lab - both providing a chance to work on the incredible LEAF data set that we have been collecting the last couple of years (220 children followed longitudinally from 10-30 months on measures of attention and early EF). Please share!

The US has the highest incarceration rate for women in the world.

This #WomensHistoryMonth, we're thinking of all the women locked behind bars, away from their families. They can't get lost in the fight to end mass incarceration.

100%. I want to point out that many not-for-profit journals are in this plot. It's not strictly pocket-padding.
There is a huge issue, however, with a model that asks successful authors to fund the editor work that went into rejecting the other 70-90% of papers! πŸ“„
