    The pandemic has highlighted the tight connection between early childhood education and care and economic success for families and educational and social success for students.

  • Middle school history teachers discuss their lesson plans for teaching about the Great Depression.
    Article1px solid #ddd

    There are too many incentives for teachers to leave the classroom and not enough for them to stay, NCEE’s Jason Dougal and Ann Borthwick argue in a commentary for K-12 Dive. Dougal and Borthwick lay out a vision for an education system in which teachers’ work environment is more like that of doctors and lawyers and they are rewarded for leading the growth of their colleagues. Implementing these changes in light of current teacher shortages will attract more people to education and keep them in classrooms longer.
