Enjoyed talking with Joanna Hou at Willamette Week about school board leadership and superintendent relationship. www.wweek.com/news/schools... @wweek.com

Science! 🫠

Thrilled to welcome Dr. Torres back to the Lewis & Clark Graduate School of Education and Counseling as Associate Dean. Danielle is a tremendous leader who is dedicated to serving our students and centering equity. @lclark.bsky.social www.lclark.edu/live/news/56...

Friday afternoon surprise! My team gets me. @lclark.bsky.social

Wow!

Hot take, people who hate cities shouldn’t be in charge of cities

Where are the hard-working Americans who screamed, “They’re stealing our jobs”? You’re getting your wish. Immigrant workers aren’t showing up, and farm owners are hiring.

Got my ID card today and they asked if I was a law student. Couldn’t tell if that was a compliment or not. 🤷‍♂️

😞

This is all very bad.

It's been 5 months since we wrote this. I'm still worried. "cuts aren’t efficient if education leaders lose access to data and research that helps them make more informed, cost-effective decisions about resource allocation." #EdResearch #EdPolicy www.brookings.edu/articles/cut...

Notre Dame keeps hiring! Director of Research Programs for the Center for Educational Research and Action Due date to apply: August 1 jobs.smartrecruiters.com/UniversityOf...

Today marks the 177th anniversary of the Seneca Falls Convention, a landmark moment in the fight for women’s voting rights that helped pave the way for the 19th Amendment. At the Brennan Center, we continue to fight to ensure every American — regardless of race or gender — can cast a ballot.

Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.

Thinking about John Lewis and his legacy of fighting for justice. We are a better country because of his leadership.

This is not okay. www.opb.org/article/2025...

NIH too? 🙏

Dame coming home would make me happy.

Savvy operative types in DC truly believed then and believe now that average Americans are too dumb to understand how government works or why it exists. Educating and defending the Corporation for Public Broadcasting—with its profound impact on people for negligible taxpayer cost—was a layup.

AEFP invites applications for the editorship of EFP, the association’s flagship journal. Applications are due Nov 1. Read more about it here: aefpweb.org/callfore...

I'm not sure what the posts are likely to be, but @aefplivehandbook.bsky.social has joined the Bluesky party! For those who don't know, the Live Handbook, an @aefpweb.bsky.social initiative, is a great resource/entry point to learn about ed policy research: livehandbook.org/higher-educa...

one of the things that gets me about so many of the pundits who pontificate about "higher education" when they really mean a handful of elite private institutions is that most of them live within driving distance of either a community college or a non-selective public institution

Really important discussion by @brennancenter.org today on education policy during the Trump Admin. Thank you to John King for your detailed analysis and for encouraging everyone to center public education and teachers at every level of government. @sunychancellor.bsky.social #brennancenter

Love this 🔥

Portland had a housing shortage. The solution to homelessness is more housing and shelters. Opposing a shelter is inhumane.

Woof

a disaster for many reasons, but I’m especially livid thinking about countless disabled students whose families who will have even less in the way of recourse when their kids’ educational rights are violated

#RESIST Higher Ed community: you cannot run, and you cannot hide. You are fighting for not just your individual Universities, but for the entire higher Ed sector, and for democracy itself. This fight is so much bigger than any one of you, and so much more important. TOGETHER is your only hope…

Roosevelt understood that boredom, frustration, and social isolation could easily turn people (and especially young men*) toward violence, hate, and conspiracies.

The search advocate program was one of the best professional development programs I have ever participated in. As a @oregonstate.edu alum, this bums me out.

A friend of my compared gutting of federal agencies to a wrecking a car: if you remove 30% of the parts of the car, it does not go 30% slower. It stops working.

Cool cool cool. I just want to live in a country that makes sure kids have food and health care.

William Barber II continues to lead and inspire with integrity as a central voice of moral courage. Highly recommend listening to, reflecting on, and acting on his message.

Proud of my representative in Congress, @repbonamici.bsky.social who continues to advocate for no cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. Grateful for her leadership and continual support for supporting those who need it most. @washcodems.bsky.social

This is cool.

A budget is a statement of values. (HT @brendanvduke.bsky.social)

This recent working paper by Jim Wyckoff shows that student achievement declines began well before the pandemic, and lays out the evidence for several possible causes. edworkingpapers.com/ai25-1197

If you love #EdResearch & #EdPolicy, you should check out the Live Handbook! livehandbook.org This research did not grow on trees! Much of it was supported by the Institute of Education Sciences, either directly or through investments in education research infrastructure (training, standards, etc.)

I wrote some thoughts on how public higher education is rapidly splitting into red-state and blue-state versions, and it's going to be very hard for leaders to cross that growing divide. robertkelchen.com/2025/06/30/p...
