  • Genetics in Education
    Genetics research is becoming more prominent and beginning to intersect with education research. While many previous intersections have been harmful, the current era of genetic research provides novel features and possibilities. Collaboration between those in the social and biomedical sciences could be the key to regulations and research designs that emphasize equity. This study comes from researchers who disagree about the promises and pitfalls of the involvement of genetics research in education research, with the goal of building a productive dialogue on the topic. These researchers do agree, however, that more in the education research community should be aware of the history and current realities and potential of genetics research, especially with regard to molecular genetic data.

  • "How Writing Shapes Thinking" Ch. 9 (Leaflet Study #9)
    Today we review the studies from each chapter we've looked at so far, as well as the conclusions drawn in the end.
    Much beyond the English classroom, writing supports more complex thinking and learning about the subjects that students are expected to learn.
    Written language makes a contribution to content learning and can support the more complex kind of reasoning that is increasingly necessary in our complex information-based culture.
    Thoughtful argument must be prioritized over simple recitation. Students must be judged on how they reason and learn in addition to what they know. These expectations must be communicated clearly to students and to the community.

  • Today in Education #19 - Virtual Reality Field Trips, The SAT's Adversity Score, Debates over Gifted Education

    The College Board has tweaked the Adversity Score, but can it undo the damage it’s caused? A fight over gifted education in New York is escalating to a national debate over school segregation. Chinese parents say intense competition forces them to send their children to after-school tutoring programs. Classroom field trips in VR become a national trend. US universities face a federal crackdown on foreign financial influence.

  • Christ Tatem, Host of "Cross Examined Life" (Leaflet Talk #2)

    Chris Tatem hosts Cross Examined Life, a podcast encouraging respectful disagreement and thorough discussion of issues. In this episode, we talk about free will, the illusion of linear time, gun control, the ideal age of death, and more. Listen to Cross Examined Life: http://www.crossexaminedlife.com/  This episode is a re-upload from a podcast I previously hosted. It seemed appropriate to place here, as respectful conversation about difficult issues is undervalued in practice and is incredibly important to our educational systems and to society in general.

  • Today in Education #18 - Dirty Dirty Dorms, Wholesome Hashtags, and Student Loan Forgiveness for Disabled Veterans

    Lots and lots to talk about...

    An online campaign named #ClearTheList is spreading on Instagram to help people pitch in to stock a teacher’s classroom for the start of the school year.

    The office of a black employee at the Department of Education was allegedly vandalized earlier this week in an event that some department employees are calling a racist incident.

    Australia's most populous state said it will ax a Chinese-funded education program that teaches Mandarin in schools amid fears over potential foreign influence.

    Enduring less-than-ideal living conditions is something of a rite of passage for many college students. While the cost of higher education keeps rising, though, outpacing inflation every year since 1985, maintenance of student dormitories at many institutions has not always kept up. In interviews and exchanges with dozens of students across the country, heating and cooling issues were the most frequent complaints. But some reported much more serious problems, including vermin and mold.

    President Trump signed a measure on Wednesday that seeks to remove the bureaucratic barriers for permanently disabled veterans to qualify for student loan forgiveness, which he said would save 25,000 wounded warriors an average of $30,000.

  • Barred by the Bell - The Impact of High School Start Times on Student Engagement

    Bastian and Fuller set out to examine schools with varying start times, with the goal of answering two important questions. Do later high school start times predict students’ engagement with school and their achievement in school? Do later high school start times have larger impacts on the engagement and achievement outcomes of disadvantaged student subgroups? They examined a diverse set of students and schools across urban and rural settings, including 410 unique high schools and 770,623 individual students.
