"A 5-min measure of student-teacher interactions revealed classroom disparities in student access to opportunities to respond (OTRs) based on their disability status. OTR disparities may serve as an objective indicator of culturally responsive practices." t.co/zLPjcJBQzf

The 6th Annual Center for Rural School Mental Health Conference may have been the best one yet! We learned so much from our school, youth, and university partners. Till next year. @mopreventionsci.bsky.social

Have several datasets you need to combine but are unsure how to combine them? This post might help. cghlewis.com/blog/joins/

Gov. JB Pritzker signed an executive order that formally restricts the unauthorized collection of autism-related data by state agencies. Pritzker’s order responds to federal efforts under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to create databases of personal information for those with autism.

"The vast majority of teachers now recognize the term evidence-based interventions/practices . . . but teachers note the same barriers to implementing mental health supports as over a decade ago." @mopreventionsci.bsky.social psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-...

Another free resource from @mopreventionsci.bsky.social and @ncrsmh.bsky.social: a Professional Development Hub ruralsmh.com/implementati.... Although designed for the Early Identification System, the tools are relevant for building capacity to implement any comprehensive approach in schools.

The university refused to make changes it said would "dictate what private universities can teach" and "whom they can admit and hire," among other things.

There are 32m small businesses in the USA

Please take a second to read my statement on the termination of the Adolescent Medicine Trials Network for HIV Interventions. This is devastating to science but even more so to the youth impacted. Thank you

Exactly! The people who are being fired did everything right to achieve the American Dream. They worked hard to get qualifications for a career that gave them a decent living and, bonus, served the community. To see them discarded like this should outrage all of us!!

The IES Practice Guides and resources inform every single literacy course & training for pre-service & in-service teachers. Any literacy intervention that has evidence behind it has evidence because the studies were funded by IES, OSEP, or by NIH. Every $ spent on IES research saves tax payer $.

Just curious is anyone aware of NCEs being granted for any federally funded grant (NIH, IES, NSF, DOJ) since 2/1? I’m aware of a lot of submitted requests but not aware of any approved so far!

If you have a federal grant, I *highly* recommend going to this Friday's webinar on responding to grant terminations. Lisa Brown, former general counsel at Dept of Ed, will present along with other lawyers. Friday, March 21, 2-3 pm. More info & register here: www.linkedin.com/pulse/regist...

Hi everyone! The Department of Special Education at Vanderbilt University is searching for a Chair and Professor to join our faculty in the summer of 2026. Please share with your networks and happy to chat with anyone interested! jobs.chronicle.com/job/37806156...

If you need help explaining to people what the Department of Education does and why it matters, this, from Ben Miller (hosted by @mattyglesias.bsky.social) is as good as it gets open.substack.com/pub/matthewy...

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought: - 1.65 million deaths from AIDS - 500,000 from lack of vaccines - 550,000 from lack of food aid - 290,000 from malaria - 310,000 from TB

Good explainer. "UNC-Chapel Hill stands ready to collaborate on the development of a modernized indirect cost model. A new model should reduce inefficiencies and duplication in mandatory regulations and harmonize them across agencies." research.unc.edu/2025/03/13/u...

New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024. That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved. Show me a better investment than that. www.forbes.com/sites/michae...

This is the narrative 👇. We need to tell the stories again & again of how NIH & NSF funding benefits our neighbors. 🧪 #scicomm

The Department of Education is too small for a label.

The Regional Education Laboratories were cancelled. My friends employed the RELs are now jobless. The Dept of Ed & IES were created to provide free evidence-based resources to schools. Now the publishing companies are the only option, ineffective & expensive. Call you congresspeople.

Nearly 4 of 5 teachers reported intentions to the leave the field after the pandemic. Over 70% reported feeling used up at the end of the workday one or more times per week; one-third reported experiencing this every day. Teachers need our support! DM for full text.

My uni now charges licensing fees to use their logo on any dept swag, in their words, to promote the university image. I mean we wear swag to represent the university and our dept. And we are required to have the university logo on anything we create! Obviously, we won’t be doing that in the future

Here’s something I’m thankful for: @dtwuva.bsky.social ‘s Why Don’t Students Like School? Clearly & compellingly written applications of foundational cognitive science to educ.

Something interesting to read in between turkey and football

Every time you write "there is no effect/difference (p>0.05)", when you mean "we found no evidence for an effect/difference (p>0.05)" a baby kitten dies

Enjoyed this Plain English pod by @dkthomp.bsky.social on reproducibility & related topics in social psychology. I love & do basic psych research, but we (incl me) should probably be more careful about extrapolating real-world implications from it. Context matters. www.theringer.com/2024/11/27/2...
