Shoutout to #Ohio for maintaining high standards in teacher preparation! By requiring science of reading training through educator prep programs, they're ensuring every new teacher has the evidence-based tools students need to thrive as readers. #LiteracyMatters
Chancellor Duffey joined @GovMikeDeWine this morning for a press conference to announce the results of the #ScienceOfReading audits at those colleges and universities with educator preparation programs. For more information, go to https://t.co/UcV5eAjJoO

The data couldn’t be more clear. A ban on cellular devices in schools will significantly boost Hoosier students’ academic gains as well as social and mental well being. I’m excited to work with my colleagues to get this done in the 2026 session!
The first full year that Florida's in-school cellphone ban was in effect, student test scores went up by as much as 10% of a standard deviation.

Gov. Evers just signed bipartisan legislation, backed by @RepKitchens and Senator Cabral-Guevara, requiring school boards to adopt a policy that keeps cell phones out of the classroom. 🧵1/3

Smartphones and social media place adult-sized responsibilities on children long before they’re ready.

As a parent, this is front of mind for me every day. As an advocate, this is dead on for the dangers facing our kids. These risks at home, and in the classroom, have to be confronted.

Wisconsin kids are falling behind when it comes to math. Our new @WILawLiberty report offers a model policy built on proven reforms from several states. School boards can act today. @CorriHess wrote about this in her recent article for @WPR (linked below).

Evers is just wrong here. The federal tax credit scholarship has the opportunity to benefit kids in all Wisconsin schools, including public. Other Dem governors, including NC Gov. Josh Stein see that potential. Huge mistake and a lost opportunity for WI https://t.co/bFq1ZtcKUO

The new federal tax credit scholarship will benefit students in public and private schools alike—supporting tutoring, after-school programs, learning materials, and services for kids with disabilities. Wisconsin should opt in. https://t.co/DbgeUssKNS
