.PRINCIPAL LEADERSHIP
Proactively educating students in a post-COVID world
NASSP
Post pandemic, it is essential for educators to address each student not only holistically but also proactively rather than reactively. Since learning has been significantly disrupted in the wake of COVID-19, education must focus on not only the academic development but the social-emotional well-being of young people in and out of school. That’s why school districts across the country are focusing on mindfulness and mental health now more than ever.

Tech & Learning
Judging students and colleagues by intent rather than behavior is one of many ways in which Cheeseman – the NERESA Region 1 Superintendent of the Year – has tried to lead his staff and students through the mental health challenges of the past two years.

"More than a warm body:" Schools try long-term solutions to substitute teacher shortage
Hechinger Report
Several states that previously required substitutes to have a bachelor’s degree lowered that threshold and now allow candidates with only a high school diploma to apply for emergency certification. That has raised questions about the quality of learning that students receive, especially at a time when disadvantaged students need even more help to make up instruction disrupted by the pandemic.

There's an effective way to guide our students through mental health problems
Hechinger Report (Commentary)
The power of peer networks is well-documented in research. “Peers can often form a stronger therapeutic bond with the people they counsel because they have experienced mental health struggles themselves,” wrote life sciences consultant Nicola Davies about the benefits of peer counseling. Positive peer dynamics have been shown to support learning, prosocial behavior and social-emotional well-being.

EdWeek Market Brief
School and district leaders are focusing on social-emotional learning this year, with new initiatives and programs designed to meet the needs of students and build a stronger foundation for learning.

Can pre-K assessments improve early learning programs? Listening to teacher perspectives
New America
There is a clear need to strengthen pre-K assessment systems to be more equitable, relevant, and useful. Centering the perspectives of early childhood educators is a key step in achieving this goal. Doing so can ensure that efforts to build better measurement tools are responsive to the needs of the pre-K teachers who collect and use these assessments in their day-to-day interactions with children.

New Biden rules would slow charter growth
Education Next
Applying for a federal grant to support the creation of new charter schools is about to get a lot harder. That’s the upshot of draft regulations for the Charter Schools Program that the Biden administration released for public comment in March. It is an unfortunate proposal at a time when new research confirms that charter schools are an asset not only to their students but also to the broader communities in which they operate.

.SCHOOL TECHNOLOGY
What are the most widely used ed-tech tools in districts?
EdTech Market Brief
The types of ed-tech products that school districts access is shifting away from more independent student resources in favor of educator-focused tools.
A mid-year report from LearnPlatform looked at the use of ed tech in K-12 districts across the country between August and December 2021 — a time when, a year and a half into the pandemic, many districts started sorting through purchases made during remote learning to decide how digital tools will be used moving forward.

Let's begin the lesson, shall we
District Administration Magazine
A closer look at remote 911 reveals that time and resources stood in the way of a well-planned rollout of online learning programs, leaving everyone frustrated. Some students didn’t have books at home. Others didn’t have connectivity or hardware. Best practices, like those dictated by the National Standards for Quality, or NSQ, went by the wayside. Causing even more confusion, vendors tried to help by throwing a myriad of free resources at schools.

In ways that are unmatched by other pursuits, like athletics for instance, learning music powerfully reinforces language skills, builds and improves reading ability, and strengthens memory and attention, according to the latest research on the cognitive neuroscience of music.

Enrollment losses in cities prompt talk of school closures
Chalkbeat
Once federal money dries up — the last of it must be spent by 2024 — urban districts could see budget shortfalls, since state funding is typically tied to enrollment. Even if states boost overall funding, city schools losing students particularly quickly are unlikely to escape cuts.
That, in turn, could quickly lead to talks of closing schools to save money.
