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.

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.

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 exceptionalchildren.org/takeaction?v...

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. Check it out while it's still around. ies.ed.gov/ncee/wwc/

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.

My graduate student - Burcu Ozkum - was featured in the news for her expertise on children's digital media. So proud! www.wlns.com/news/parenti... @msuhdfs.bsky.social

Researchers: Here are some concrete scripts about how to express concerns regarding recent pauses in federal funding.

Next week, I'm teaching a 3-day workshop on DSEM for intensive longitudinal data using Mplus and registration is still open -- more information about the topics and registration can be found here! statisticalhorizons.com/seminars/dyn...

For anyone that needs the guidance that was once there, I encourage you to reach out to SpEd faculty at universities in your state. They are unequivocally the nicest and most helpful people with loads of knowledge to share.

I just reached out to my senators about the NIH situation. If you need to find out how much impact NIH has in your state in terms of dollars in and their economic impact here's a link: www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-...

This book provides a solid foundation for setting up your data in a way that won't drive you crazy later. Great for students.

I received this piece of advice about writing from @loriskibbe.bsky.social years ago and it is the thing that completely transformed my writing. I now recommend it to every student.
