Proud Dad and Husband, Associate Professor of Special Education at Texas State University, Texas Longhorn for life!
Interested in Grade K - 5 writing? I’m joining @alysonacollins and Steve Graham tomorrow to discuss a new comprehensive meta analysis of K -5 writing. We will discuss how to apply the findings to the classroom to support all writers #CEC2024
Thankful that @jillbarshay is staying on top of Department of Education updates.. Some helpful info in Jill’s reporting here in @hechingerreport
At #asugsvsummit @EDSecMcMahon said she is looking to revamp @IESResearch and "absolutely" keep @NAEP_NCES because states can manipulate their test scores. "Does NAEP need to get revised? I'm not a tech expert." Meanwhile, the chipping away has begun. hechingerreport.org/proof-points-n…

Join us in the beautiful city of Salt Lake City, Utah, for our 47th International Conference on Learning Disabilities! October 16-17, 2025 at the Salt Lake City Marriott City Center Registration is now open to attend the conference!
Looking forward to reading this interview that @jillbarshay had with Peggy Carr about the National Center for Education Statistics 📖 @hechingerreport ✏️
Ever since the former commissioner of the National Center for Education Statistics was dismissed by the Trump administration in February, I wanted to hear her story. Peggy Carr was among a string of Black senior officials fired in early 2025. (1/3) hechingerreport.org/proof-points-p…
Thank you for sharing our research @MrZachG We have more data we will publish soon on how explicit and incidental writing instruction relate to writing achievement based on a 3 year in over 75 elementary schools 👀 😮
Researchers @StephenCiullo et al. found that teachers tend to rely on students picking up writing strategies implicitly rather than emphasizing explicit instruction. Important finding. Link next 👇

The #SpecialEducation community is mourning the loss of an inspirational leader. We are deeply grateful for Lynn Fuchs' contributions to improving teaching and learning. She will be missed. specialeducationtoday.com/p/lynn-s-fuchs…
👏 Some positive news for families of students with disabilities 👏 #Section504
Good news: The challenge to 504 protections by seventeen Attorneys General has been dropped. Outcry from parents and disability advocates was swift and unrelenting.
After 2 mos of confusion, @EDSecMcMahon just issued a press release confirming that the 2026 @NAEP_NCES is on schedule and she called the exam "critical" tool for assessing student preparedness. However, I am told that severe cuts to the assessment operation still loom. (1/4)
Today is the last day for a free @CECMembership and @TeachingLD membership! Share this with parents, teachers, and advocates to signup by midnight 😅
Today is the LAST day to join CEC for free! We've had thousands of new members join this strong special education community since last week. Tag a teacher, parent, or educator to make sure they join by midnight!⏲️⌛️
“We need to continue to collect and analyze [student achievement] data, since understanding patterns is key to finding policies that work... If we do not measure things, we tend not to focus on improving them. And improving schools should be a priority.”
WOW! Great opportunity for teachers, parents, and Ed advocates. Over 1.200 new members joined in the past two days! This is FREE, so take advantage of this @CECMembership and add @TeachingLD as a division.
🚨🚨🚨BIG NEWS!! JOIN CEC AND DLD FOR FREE UNTIL MARCH 31! 🚨🚨🚨👇👇👇
Mass firings at the U.S. Department of Education will severely compromise families' ability to ensure that the rights of their children with #disabilities are upheld, advocates warn. #discrimination #SpecialEducation disabilityscoop.com/2025/03/18/ed-…
Loved our #CEC2025 session about writing intervention and seeing how many educators value boosting writing instruction. We are excited to continue this research!
