It's worth remembering how far we've come on educating students with disabilities, writes Nebraska's education commissioner Matthew L. Blomstedt.

The demand for substitute teacher positions is outpacing the supply, and the quality of those applying is a concern in many places.

“Vaccines are a choice and people have the choice and will have the choice in this state as to whether or not they should take that vaccine,” the governor said.

Collaboration doesn’t require turning parents into math experts, classroom teachers say.

Teachers are drawing on high-profile issues such as policing patterns, the spread of the pandemic, and campaign finance to explore math concepts.

Math teachers share advice for making remote instruction work.

With many students working remotely, there’s no point in administering assessments that ask students to come up with a single answer; it’s simply too easy to cheat.

An early look at pandemic-related school disruptions suggests one area of learning in particular stands to be affected: mathematics.

With coronavirus cases surging, labor groups are continuing to flex their political muscle, most often pushing for a conservative approach to getting teachers and kids back in buildings.

Court-ordered school desegregation has been more successful in the South than in any other region of the country, but researchers have noted a new threat: the growing number of communities that are seceding from larger school districts to form their own.

An Education Week analysis found that at least 140 schools, almost all below the Mason-Dixon line, still bear the names of figures from that era.

State Board of Education members weighed in today about a proposal to eliminate their elected positions and replace the board with an appointed commission.

Teacher-evaluation reforms in places like New Mexico, Tennessee, Denver, and the District of Columbia have paid off, says the National Council on Teacher Quality.

A state department leader outlines what Tennessee is learning about teacher improvement and where the state still needs to learn more.

A statewide survey of educators in Tennessee provides critical insights into connections that exist between standards, curriculum, professional development, and ultimately student success.

Teachers in Tennessee have an important voice in shaping state initiatives and policies.

Tennessee improved its teacher evaluation and training systems by integrating data and teacher voice, according to a new report. But value-added measures that evaluate teachers based on student test scores remain controversial.

The Tennessee department of education is proposing unsually comprehensive legislation that will require all current and new K-3 teachers, and those who train them, to know evidence-based reading instruction.

“Vaccines are a choice and people have the choice and will have the choice in this state as to whether or not they should take that vaccine,” the governor said.

The Christie administration is arguing that the only way to improve education in the state's poorest districts is to ditch teacher job protections.

The shooting death of a 10-year-old spectator at a high school football game exposes a critical vulnerability and crucial responsibility for schools: keeping people safe at events outside school buildings.

Gov. Christie has pushed to flatten the state's funding formula so that the state's impoverished urban districts would get the same amount of money wealthy suburban districts get.

Here's a clue: the governor has said the teachers' unions need to be punched in the face.

The state wants to test its middle school students in the mathematics courses in which they're enrolled, rather than with the state tests created for that each student's particular grade.
