This is a perfect example of creating conditions that prevent a crisis. Crisis prevention starts before an event - and in some cases can even prevent the event. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/27/n...

In one state, teachers now face strict limits on how they can communicate with students outside the classroom.

"The problem with this rationale is it frames all teachers as probable threats to their students. It is akin to banning cars from the road because some drivers run red lights or speed, thereby putting pedestrians at risk. . ."

To reduce the chances of grooming and sexual misconduct with students, teachers in Kentucky are now banned from interacting with them outside of school district-adopted platforms. This education leader shares what she believes the problem is with that rationale. #EWOpinion

Kentucky passed a ban on teachers' texting or following students on social media. The flawed logic behind it will do more harm than good. @edweekopinion.bsky.social www.edweek.org/teaching-lea...

Important work that finds school security spending is outpacing and potentially crowding out other expenditures (eg, counseling, health, social services) related to student well-being.

I spent untold hours last year trying to get the Faculty Senate Exec committee to see these connections. It's a coordinated attack on education. Period. Defund, close, defund, close. Maddening

They've always attacked higher ed. In the 1920s, they called their target "evolution," but they attacked universities and professors for teaching Diversity, Equity, or Inclusion. (Cartoon from WSJ, 1925) I laid out the 1920s history for Nature: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

“We are in the midst of a constitutional crisis right now. There have been so many unconstitutional and illegal actions in the first 18 days of the Trump presidency. We never have seen anything like this.” —Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of University of California, Berkeley law school. Time to stand up:

"The pandemic was undoubtedly a health crisis, but it didn’t need to be an education crisis, nor did it end up being one evenly all across the country." —@lorabartlett.bsky.social in an interview with @ucsantacruz.bsky.social https://bit.ly/40s8RyA

The National Writing Project is a compelling example of powerful professional development for teachers, by teachers, and as defined by teachers. I am proud to be in conversation with them about improving education by centering teacher knowledge.

@cmsaldana.bsky.social asks great questions. Great questions make interviews flow.

Thanks @nepc.bsky.social - I so enjoyed talking with @cmsaldana.bsky.social about how the pandemic affected teachers and how we can improve working conditions for teachers.

Welcome to Blue Sky David Pearson. Heads up to all you educators out there interested in reading and literacy - you want to follow David and add him to your starter groups.

Today is the official publication date for the new book and I’m looking forward to reviews and feedback. But today this is the best review imaginable from my three 20-something kids. ❤️❤️❤️

Hi! I've made the jump to Bluesky too. As a first post, how about a recap of the last 20 years of education policy from @suttontrust.bsky.social, courtesy of education expert @samfr.bsky.social? www.suttontrust.com/our-research...

📝 To-do list: Stay up-to-date on the latest education news. 💡Solution: The Education News Starter Pack! New authors added continuously. Check back for updates. go.bsky.app/UccLjhX

It’s true. I feel a bit giddy scrolling through the Bsky Ed scholar array - but I can’t sustain this level of scroll with related dives into posted work and get any writing done!

Here's my attempt to start gathering names of folks who write about education policy, including journalists, who are critical the ensuring research has a policy impact. go.bsky.app/3XhYmo3

We are almost at capacity in this starter pack! Everyone now left to be added will be added to Education Scholars Part II! If I didn’t add you to first one & you want to be added reply to to post! #EducationScholars go.bsky.app/H3QkVDR

This is the book I need! We all need to look at how rigid and formulaic exams are diminishing capacity for and recognition of sophisticated analysis.

A feminized profession is not simply one in which women disproportionality work or care work is elevated - it is one that is disrespected and devalued B/C women do it & care is centered. Start institutionally valuing ALL of what it takes to make schools thrive! www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

Packaged up and posted a copy of "Going the Distance: The Teaching Profession in a Post-COVID World" to each of the teachers who shared their experience with us. My thanks to all teachers who taught during the historic coronavirus pandemic. #EDUSky

The global pattern is clear: where GERM spreads, it induces a deadening homogenization of educational ends & means, subverts the professionalization of teaching, & puts test scores ahead of student health & well-being. However, there is another way... www.humanrestorationproject.org/writing/sust...

Yes Diane Ravitch. Let’s all smile at one another in the Blue Sky 🙂

New followers: As we wait to see who Trump picks to lead (and/or dismantle) the federal Education Department, let me tell you about the book I wrote. It investigates the origins of the “anti-woke,” “anti-CRT,” anti-trans movement that Trump tried to tap into. Here's what I found 🧵

What will Trump 2.0 mean for schools? They'll say the Founding Fathers wanted more Jesus and more "market" options for public schools. Nope. I talked @haveyouheard.bsky.social @jenniferberkshire.bsky.social @jackschneider.bsky.social about it: Give a listen: soundcloud.com/haveyouheard...

I am really looking forward to the Conference on Education & Justice Dec 6 & 7. So many important papers on the schedule. www.kevinkumashiro.com/2024conferen...

The amount of educators who feel stifled by the system is overwhelming. If you ever feel the courage to speak up for what is right, know that I’ve got your back. #EDUsky
