Four years after the pandemic shuttered schools, we all want to be done with COVID. But the latest analyses from three assessment companies paint a grim picture of where U.S. children are academically and that merits coverage. While there are isolated bright spots, the general trend is stagnation. One report documented that U.S. students did not make progress in catching up in the most recent 2023-24 school year and slid even further behind in math and reading, exacerbating pandemic learning los

When it comes to student success, parent engagement is an often overlooked but key contributor. Decades of research, including Henderson and Mapp’s often-cited “A New Wave of Evidence: The Impact of School, Family, and Community Connections on Student Achievement,” affirm the importance of parent engagement, which leads to students being more likely to attend school, avoid disciplinary issues, achieve better grades and ultimately graduate.

K–12 schools expend a lot of resources to prevent cybersecurity breaches. Implementing effective security measures and training users on proper cyber hygiene is a good start to keeping attackers away from valuable student data. But all it takes is one person clicking on the wrong link for attackers to find a way to breach a school’s defenses. This is when cyber resilience — the ability to prepare for, respond to and recover from cyberthreats and incidents — becomes critical.

For the past couple of years, unrelenting change has come fast. Even while schools are stuck dealing with deep challenges, COVID-19 pandemic relief funding is running its course. Meanwhile, new technologies seem to flow out in an unstoppable stream. These often have consequences in education, from an increase in cheating on assignments enabled by prose-spewing chatbots, to experiments that bring AI into classrooms as teaching assistants or even as students.

When people learn that I have a doctorate in educational psychology and quantitative methods, they often assume that I love math. And the truth is, I do now, although that wasn’t always the case. Like many Black students, I faced challenges throughout my academic journey, with math tracking being the primary one. Despite high math scores in earlier grades and a passion for the subject, I was placed into lower-level math courses in middle school.
