State Standards are the most important guideposts for K-12 science instruction in America's schools. State standards describe what should be taught in public
HISTORIC: President Trump just signed an executive order to codify gold-standard science into U.S. government policy This is a massive win for the MAHA movement—and a crushing blow to Fauci-era mandates and the climate alarmist junk science that’s shaped national policy for

Recess isn’t a break from learning — it is learning. Movement, imagination, social time: these are the building blocks of focus, emotional regulation, and real-life skills. We’re calling for national daily unstructured recess for K–8: https://t.co/Lg2ikwnRtQ

Unstructured recess isn’t optional — it’s essential 🏃💭 Kids need time to play, imagine, and reset. It boosts focus, creativity, social skills, and emotional health. It’s time for mandatory daily recess for all K–8 students: https://t.co/Lg2ikwnRtQ

Doug Lemov joins Science of Reading: The Podcast! 🎧 He dives into fluency, the prerequisite for comprehension, citing the definition as "reading at the speed of sight." Disfluency overloads working memory, preventing deeper thought. 🧠

I’m a massive proponent of unstructured play amongst children, especially in nature and without adults mediating everything. More of this please parents! But that’s not the primary purpose of school. This article suggests kindergarten has become too academic and schools should

Think school surveys are “just paperwork”? Think again. 📊 The PPRA gives parents the right to review, approve, or opt out of questions or data collection — yet most families have never heard of it. We break it down on Carpool Talk. 🚗💬 🎥

Teachers need real solutions — not empty promises. That’s why our Archimedes Math Standards exist: clear, evidence-based guidance that empowers educators and improves student outcomes.
“Teachers are very hungry for information on how to teach math better, and if they are listening to this advice coming from the state [New York] Education Department, inevitably their kids will do worse, not better,” Benjamin Solomon, told The Post. https://t.co/zliR7LzyJq

It started with one bright student whose grades were slipping—and one simple question: “Are you sleeping enough?” What followed was more than a classroom story. It’s a wake-up call for parents, teachers, and teens alike https://t.co/8Ngkic3992

Shocking revelation: students actually read full books—and their reading improves. Revolutionary, right? 📚
“In 2015, researchers at the University of Sussex in England asked a group of 20 English teachers in Year 8, the U.S. equivalent of 7th grade, to change their practice for 12 weeks. During that period, they would read two novels back to back, with all of the reading done in

Teens are sleeping 6 hours a night when they need 8–10. That gap is wrecking focus, learning, as well as physical and emotional health. Sleep isn’t a luxury—it’s foundational for learning itself https://t.co/8Ngkic3992

The students who lost ground require "catch-up growth", meaning they need to acquire more than a year's worth of learning in a year. Effective instruction, like Direct Instruction, brings about this kind of growth. Unfortunately, most schools don't use it and most kids don't
"Math is crawling back, however modestly, but reading isn't budging," says Karyn Lewis, vice president of research at NWEA. "I know people want this chapter to be over, but these data remind us it isn't. Looking away won't make the problem disappear.” https://t.co/VXenadxOYA

Schools are meant for student flourishing, yet too often they’re run for policies, bureaucracy, and competing agendas. Learning suffers & opportunities vanish. Why does it feel like so many times education policy serves everyone but the kids it’s meant to lift?
"Kogan’s book makes a persuasive case that American schools today are busy catering to the needs of every constituency—teachers, nonparent voters, politicians, culture warriors—except the children whom they are supposed to educate." https://t.co/g58ETyYvbX
