- @akilbello Akil, great points about the failure of taking tutoring to scale under NCLB. Too often we forget/ignore the lessons of history. I hope that is not the case as districts & states increasingly look to adopt tutoring. Our full paper - feedback welcome: t.co/f9ebt4J6YZ
- @dropoutnation @MatthewAKraft @akilbello We need to talk more about: t.co/5rv3edi33V The training is superb and implementation has been mastered. And it has lots of solid data backing it. I learned more from @MNReadingCorps about teaching reading than I did in my teacher training.
- I want to take these classes with @pqblair! t.co/o7C9dfnzMg
- Excited to share a new nationally representative survey of parents out today via @EducationNext. Conducted in late-November, it offers the most detailed picture to date of how U.S. students are being educated this year. A thread with a few highlights: 1/n t.co/GQRqv1ggyV
- Omg I love this study. Researchers try to figure out a way to present effect sizes to teachers in a way that they understand, and by doing so, we often make the problem worse. Few take-aways... t.co/SOLenIClvb
- @WCastilloPhD @ChicagoEduc Not necessarily "high-dosage" but here is nice meta-analysis of mentoring Hagler et al. (2020). Non-specific versus targeted approaches to youth mentoring: A follow-up meta-analysis. Journal of Youth and Adolescence, 49, 959–972 t.co/Gd2ZWcwGzs
- @ChicagoEduc Kylie, so glad to hear the @AnnenbergInst EdResearch for Recovery briefs are helpful. Nate Schwartz & Co. have done an amazing job. The target release date for the High-Dosage Tutoring brief is Jan. 26th. I'll reach out to you directly w/ details now.🙂 t.co/5rK7Px2Y4E
