Trump’s War on Education: Why Cuts Labeled As Efficiency Could Destroy Opportunity

1 month ago | edpost.com | Chris Stewart

I remain attentive to thoughtful perspectives on policy changes impacting our education system. One of the sharpest thinkers I've encountered in this field is Kim Smith, CEO of LearnerStudio. Her analysis of recent Trump administration efforts to reduce dramatically the scope and capacity of the U.S. Department of Education is both balanced and urgently important.

Attacking Government Bloat Is One Thing. Disabling Education Is Another. 3:37 As an education advocate, I've closely monitored discussions from leading practitioners about recent educational policy changes. The current administration's approach to diversity in public education appears to undermine evidence-based improvement initiatives.
The NAEPs of Wrath

2 months ago | edpost.com | Chris Stewart

How did you recognize NAEP Day this year? Many reveled in platitudes and short stories, mostly fiction, told to confirm our biases for this or that educational intervention. I’m reasonably intelligent, but I have always been terrible at NAEPery, even when I try my best. I usually grasp for a simple story that says everything is a failure and we need everything to change. That's not helpful or fun anymore.
The School Attendance Problem Isn't Just About Attendance

The School Attendance Problem Isn't Just About Attendance7:11 Alerts from my kids' school district are more common than ever before. There have been many notifications about our kids' tardies and absences. Pre-pandemic, this would have caused a family meeting and a serious conversation about responsibility. Now? My parental brain is broken, and my reaction is almost indifferent, a quiet acknowledgment that this is how things are now.
Math Sucks, But Our Kids Can Do It

Dec 5, 2024 | edpost.com | Chris Stewart

Math Sucks, But Our Kids Can Do It4:27 Let’s be real: math is math. It doesn’t care if you’re Black or White, rich or broke. Two plus two is always four, no matter who’s counting. But in America? Well, math is a vexing straight jacket when you’re Black. It’s not just numbers and problems—it’s a battlefield. And the fight? It’s not about intelligence or ability. It’s about the system you swim in, the expectations of that system, and the adults in school and home.
The Fight for Our Children Is Never Done

Nov 27, 2024 | edpost.com | Chris Stewart

Last week, I was honored to lead a panel discussion with Angela Davis, Ericka Huggins, and Hamid Khalid at the Black Male Educator Conference. Being in a hotel full of Black educators, influencers, and community supporters gave me hope and inspiration that I didn’t know I needed. My biggest takeaway is that we have everything we need to educate our children. There is no reason to wait for others to come to our rescue. It’s not happening.
Why Eliminating the MCAS Graduation Requirement Hurts Students and Undermines Education in Massachusetts

Nov 25, 2024 | edpost.com | Chris Stewart

Massachusetts, the state with America’s oldest school system, has always topped public education rankings. That achievement is partly due to its rigorous standards and high expectations. That’s why I’m baffled by the fact that the state’s voters have chosen to eliminate the MCAS as a graduation requirement. While some see it as a victory for equity, the reality is that it lands cruelly in the opposite direction.
