It's tonight! Are you at #CEC2025? If so, you're invited to this party at Blackwall Hitch! See you there.

As a faculty member, I think I knew from afar what good people IES had. But over the past two years, I have gotten to work alongside so many of those who were just let go. I have learned so much from these friends and colleagues, and I am just dumbstruck at the scale of this loss for our country.

We are so excited to kick off #CEC2025! The day is already underway, with exciting programming kicking off soon. We are excited about our opening keynote presentation and opening reception at Power Plant Live tonight! Follow along on CEC's social media!

Fun writeup on an issue in education I (and others) have been thinking about for a while: education.virginia.edu/news-stories... Love to hear your thoughts on the subject - especially given how overloaded I know most of us are feeling right now!

Getting ready for the review @daveportnoy.bsky.social I operate a lovely pretend pizzeria in Charlottesville

I was on an IES 305A review panel this year and got this today following up on the cancellation of panels last week. I’m taking this to mean panels will not be rescheduled at all and that 305A awards likely won’t be made. I reviewed some critically important proposals. This is truly awful.

Another free and effective resource produced thanks to wise investments by the Department of Education via the Institute for Education Sciences and Office of Special Education Programs www.vocabsupport.com over 300 slideshows for evidence-based vocab instruction in science grades 4-8 (or beyond)

Please check out our free classroom observation and feedback tool called COACHED www.coached.education.virginia.edu COACHED was developed using grant funds from IES and OSEP! #edusky

In case you missed it, the new HLP book is available now! This book includes updated supplemental resources created to assist the spread and implementation of HLPs. Download it for FREE on the CEEDAR website! ➡️ ceedar.org/high-leverag...

Looking for new opportunity! Come work with me: explore.jobs.ufl.edu/en-us/job/53...

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.

Thanks to @smithfieldfoods.bsky.social and U.Va Women’s Hoops I will be eating free bacon for a year! Also #GoBirds!

As long as the last two words are “Go Birds” (or similar)

This is A+ content

Great name

This opportunity is essential for any researcher doing this type of work (but only if you are doing this kind of work - or will/could). Highest recommendation.

Let’s Go Birds!!! Best pizza in Philly??? @daveportnoy.bsky.social

Best looking pie I’ve ever made was sadly not the best tasting pie I’ve ever made. I’m circling excellence though…

Actionable research is essential for teaching. Our response to the NCTM/CEC joint statement on mathematics education for students with disabilities identifies missing evidence-based practices. Read it now and stay tuned for a vision grounded in research and evidence! #SpecialEdResearch #Mathematics
