New: More than $50 billion (yes, with a b) for education is in jeopardy if the Education Department eventually proceeds with the layoffs it implemented last Friday. A federal judge put them on hold as of Wednesday. Here's a list of the affected funding streams: www.edweek.org/policy-polit...

Entire teams that work on key funding streams may not return to work even when the shutdown ends.

Our argument: ◾ Most research summarizing high quality PD proposes lists of features of quality PD ◾ BUT, while there is a general consensus, there are points of contention. What is more, there are examples of PD that meet the criteria set out on the lists but don't support meaningful learning

Who bears the brunt of these cuts? Well, here's a word cloud of the most frequent terms from the titles and abstracts of terminated grants, with word size proportional to frequency:

A word cloud, with words of different sizes, and different colors, with purple for the largest, red medium, and green small. "Black" stands out prominently in purple. In red, we see "climate", "student", "network", "justice", "identity", "teacher", and "undergraduate".

This is your periodic reminder: NSF's Directorate for STEM Education (EDU) *still* remains paused in new awards. Here's an updated graph. But also see below thread about why the nation needs these #STEMed investments, including for sustaining the *future* of scientific research.

3 EDU awards since Jan 20 in FY25, whereas 82 in FY24.

From an NIH source re. grant terminations "These searches are pulling in things based on 'other support' sections and biosketches, so science may be held up just because someone mentions that they serve on a DEIA committee, or has a completely different grant that uses a 'problematic' word. (cont)
