I don’t listen to many of these anymore. But this one was good. #parenting Worth a listen. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Pleasant surprise at #Costco! Taste of #milwaukee

I asked Open Evidence for a deep dive regarding outcomes for children with #ADHD and accommodations, educational interventions, medication, combination, and only accommodation. See link.

A State-by-State Breakdown of Teacher Job Satisfaction in 2026. Some fascinating findings.

$30 billion to ditch textbooks and the return on investment is not great. It’ll be interesting to see what’s next. Course correct or double down? fortune.com/2026/02/21/l...

Another great episode of @haveyouheard.bsky.social The kids are alright. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

Today’s reflection. Probably shouldn’t have said that, shouldn’t have said that, and definitely should not have said that.

What’s the effectiveness of constructivism? Asking for a friend.

Interesting about the potential cause of autism.

Not found in here. Would’ve been shocked at the level of boring included if I were. www.justice.gov/epstein/search

jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... Not really related to educational research. But coffee strongly supports me as a school psych. Let’s hear it for side benefits.

Can’t wait for meetings where we discuss whether polio effects are eligible under OHI major or minor. What are we doing?! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...

Just me? Male school psychs. Wear a cardigan. How long until a Mr Roger’s, neighbor, retirement, etc comment? Third interaction for me today.

Thanks @npr for this! Great summary how #ai can help and hurt schools and students.

The NYT has numbers on the cuts at the Dept of Education. Almost 800 people have been cut at Federal Student Aid. That's a lot larger than I expected. And IES has been gutted.

New: A look at what we know and don't know about the last decade of test score declines. –They've been remarkably pervasive and started before the pandemic. –Other countries have been hit too. –Experts (and everyone else) have theories, but not definitive answers. www.chalkbeat.org/2026/01/08/w...

My reaction when I see requests for early elementary tutoring in reading comprehension without knowing it’s really not decoding or fluency deficits.

As a school psych, I hold parents who reply to emails with emojis in the highest regard. Not kidding.

This was such an excellent summary of #ADHD and evidence surrounding treatment and management. Not sure how I missed this in the past. The knock on open offices at the end was a bonus.  podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...

Holidays with extended family. My watch is worried about me.

Thought of these the other day as this year is already almost half done. connectedmtss.wixsite.com/website/post...

Yeah, I'm gonna go with the evidence here. www.ladbible.com/news/health/...

Australia: kudos on efforts to limit social media for kids. I predict that ban is a speed bump for kids and they already have work arounds. Probably took 10-15 minutes, maybe less. I suspect you’d need to ban devices or ban functionality on devices.

I’m seeing chatter about the 4-day school week. I recalled achievement can remain the same or decline, appealing for recruitment to a degree, real estate can be negatively impacted, child care and services for children can be impacted. Good summary here. journalistsresource.org/education/fo...

My prediction… the school psych shortage is going to become exponentially worse. Those who want to become one, have to be able to afford it and most likely will have differing backgrounds of where they are needed most.

Back to work but probably unable to do their jobs. www.disabilityscoop.com/2025/11/14/a...

The International MTSS Association www.mtssassociation.org New but looks like it will be a phenomenal resource.

I’ve seen positive effects in the real world. Intervention and curriculum review should come down to external review and local review of outcomes.

I like to respond to meeting invite acceptances telling the team member where their response placed. I find me funny.

Moved to Columbus from Milwaukee six years ago. Cannot shake the thought when I see Robins flying around at this time of year that these are the low achievers. But do they have the same thought as I walk my dog?

Daylight savings time is fantastic for dog owners.

I’m assuming this movement is happening in other states. But, whether they agree or not with professors, I want my kids challenged academically and intellectually. Reform grading practices. That would be most fair. www.dispatch.com/story/news/e...

This is a well written explainer. #Autism

Awesome. I’ll still listen when I walk the dog. I “watch” late night shows as podcasts while walking. Plus while I complain, I won’t pay for Spotify premium to hear ads in podcasts. Get off my lawn too. apple.news/ABhn38BmoTey...

America Is Sliding Toward Illiteracy from the Atlantic. When reviewing student data, this is the first time in my career I’m looking first, and more closely, at criterion referenced assessments (eg state test) than newly normed screening assessment results.

Multiple sources tell NPR that, as part of the Trump administration's latest reduction-in-force, the U.S. Department of Education has gutted the office that handles special education. n.pr/48stHUo

Worthwhile summary of what to look for in an effective reading intervention. Quick read with a lot of practical recommendations. #reading www.edweek.org/teaching-lea...

Not great. abcnews.go.com/Politics/spe...

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

There’s often a lot of social media chatter about what school psychs can do for alternate careers. Whelp, this isn’t it. Also, it’s often rare to see school psych mentioned in the news too. Sigh… abc6onyourside.com/news/local/s...

Some fascinating findings from Gallup. I had questions whether perceived values were supported by evidence or outcome. Maybe, maybe not. Preference and outcome can be mutually exclusive. But, this was a measure of satisfaction.

This challenges some long held beliefs! Some of my own too. #reading www.edweek.org/teaching-lea...

Call screening appears to have swayed me to consider another iPhone when it’s time.
