Educating students in poverty requires more time than is provided in the traditional school calendar, writes Jennifer Davis of the National Center on Time and Learning in The Hechinger Report. To address socioeconomic disparity, all the research indicates schools must offer more and better in-school learning and enrichment. High-needs students both require and want additional opportunities and supports to flourish. Expanded-time schools…

A better vehicle for reformist passions - early childhood education

A better vehicle for reformist passions

K-12 education reform is an "exhausted, blood-soaked battlefield," writes Nicholas Kristof in The New York Times. Yet something everyone can agree on, and surely a better place to channel reformist passions, is early childhood education. Abundant evidence shows that education early in life can break the poverty cycle. Interventions typically produce cognitive gains that last at least a few years, and produce better life outcomes…

Abolishing senior year: a win-win scenario

Abolishing senior year: a win-win scenario

For many high school seniors, spring means high school is over and it's okay to check out, writes Andrew Rotherham for U.S. News & World Report. At the other end of the educational path, many parents struggle to afford high-quality preschool for their four-year-olds. Rotherham's solution: Why not abolish senior year, and use that money for universal access to pre-K? High-quality pre-K programs would cost tens of billions…

What undocumented students add

What undocumented students add

While certain public-school teachers might want to avoid the challenges of educating undocumented students, California teacher Andrew Simmons does not. Simmons writes in The Atlantic that good educators teach whatever kids show up -- regardless of behavior, academic skills, or language proficiencies, and whether they're in the country legally or not. Simmons views undocumented students as assets to his classroom and school…

Don't let restorative justice fail

Don't let restorative justice fail

Recently, pressure has mounted to decrease, if not eliminate, suspensions in public schools, writes New York City teacher Ruben Brosbe in BRIGHT. The correlation between suspensions, dropouts, and incarcerations -- particularly for black and Latino youth -- has been deemed a school-to-prison pipeline. Restorative justice has gained favor as a corrective to the zero-tolerance policies of the 1990s. Within a restorative…

Another thing bonus pay won't fix

Another thing bonus pay won't fix

A National Education Policy Center (NEPC) review of a report from Georgetown University's Edunomics Lab finds the report misreads or ignores well-established evidence on class size, teacher assessment, pay, and job satisfaction in its proposal to pay bonuses to the "best" teachers in a district for teaching more students. The report proposes paying the top 25 percent of teachers bonuses for accepting up to three more students…
