Here’s your all-in-one guide to the Common Core State Standards, adopted by a majority of states with great fanfare—and considerable pushback in some places. Education Week’s Andrew Ujifusa unpacks the standards covering math and English/language arts, what they’re intended to do, what’s included along with what’s not. He examines the debate over the standards, along with some of the misconceptions that have accompanied their rollout in recent years.

The students at Ron Brown College Preparatory High School are “kings.” All freshmen. All young men of color. All determined to change the dominant narrative about young black men in Washington: too many read below grade-level and won’t graduate high school. This new public school in Washington D.C. opened its doors in August 2016 and is radically different. Not just because it is a public school for boys, but because it's designed specifically to meet the needs of D.C.’s young men of color. The school’s principal and the majority of its teachers are black men. They begin each morning in a school-wide circle, navigating conversations that include neighborhood violence and police shootings, protest and poverty. Many schools do one or two of these things, but few do them all – and with the conviction of Ron Brown’s staff. For the past year, through a partnership between Education Week and NPR, we visited Ron Brown weekly -- and some weeks, daily -- to witness the birth of this new school and to see how its staff tackles some of the toughest challenges in education today. We spent hundreds of hours there, from the earliest days to the last bell.

Over the years, countless ideas, initiatives, and mandates for improving student achievement and public schooling have been tried out, but very often have fallen short. Why? In a preview of his keynote discussion, sought-after K-12 school improvement expert Mike Schmoker argues that district and school leaders, along with teachers, need to be empowered to prioritize what is most effective for helping students succeed. See him speak at our live event in Washington, D.C. on March 31, 2017. http://leaders.edweek.org/event-details ____________________

New York City Chancellor Richard Carranza talks forcefully about making public schools more equitable for the black, Latino, and poor students who comprise the majority in the nation’s largest school district. His blunt language about how segregated the schools are in New York is not typical of superintendents. But in his first year on the job, Carranza has run into strong headwinds and political pushback as he pursues an equity agenda that includes overhauling admissions for the city’s most elite high schools. In his upcoming keynote speech at Education Week’s Leaders To Learn From event, Carranza will share what motivates him to keep pushing to change long, entrenched practices that he believes are keeping far too many students from accessing opportunities to learn. To learn more about Carranza’s speech and Leaders To Learn From 2019, visit https://leaders.edweek.org/eve....nt-details/?intc=ltl

Sean Reardon, a professor of education and sociology at Stanford University, discusses his recent study for which he and his colleagues built a data-bank archive of every test score from every elementary and middle school student in the United States over the last five years. Reardon explains that at the core of the study, which includes 215 million student test scores, is the question: Can we fix educational equity by building better school systems alone?

When hate-fueled episodes of harassment and bias occur in schools, principals and teachers are often on the frontlines of witnessing them and addressing them. They face pressure to prevent and respond to these incidents under the glare of a very public spotlight. But how common is it for hate crimes to happen in the country's K-12 schools? It’s a difficult question to answer because the data behind such incidents is weak.
Education Week is asking readers to help create a fuller picture on hate crimes, including those that take place in K-12 schools. If you have witnessed or been the victim of a suspected hate crime or bias incident, you may report it here: http://www.edweek.org/ew/secti....on/multimedia/have-y

Following the June 15, 2022, episode of A Seat at the Table, host Peter DeWitt continues the conversation on how to create an environment in schools—and districts—that enables teachers to feel valued and rewarded for their work. Assistant superintendent from Prince George’s County, Md.; Ava Tasker-Mitchell; Oklahoma City public schools principal Stacy Ruben-Storey; and Education Week staff writer Maddy Will discuss several ways that school and district leaders can support educators to stay in the field and encourage prospective candidates to join.
English-language-learner services are designed to prevent educational inequity, but for some students, the specialized services may be reinforcing it, argues Peggy Estrada, an associate research scientist in the Latin American and Latino Studies department at the University of California, Santa Cruz. The diminished expectations and social stigma tied to the ELL status often means that middle- and high school-age English-learners are linguistically and academically isolated with less access to a school’s full curriculum and English-speaking peers. Estrada argues that developing a common definition and exit criteria for English-learners could help solve the problem.
