The Report
A newsletter from The Hechinger Report
Liz Willen
Our never-ending fascination with all things education takes us to many corners of the world, from an examination of how families of English language learners in Seattle are excluded from special education decisions ([link removed]) to what really goes on behind the scenes in higher education, the topic of a new podcast ([link removed]) partnership with GBH News and The Hechinger Report.
We are particularly excited about this podcast, hosted by Jon Marcus and Kirk Carapezza, two veteran reporters conducting a clear, engaging conversation about the business of higher education that will help everyone gain a better understanding of the confusing – and often confounding – landscape. This week, Marcus also takes a look at Canada, ([link removed]) where students benefit when adjunct professors are better paid and treated.
Our coverage of math also continues, with Jill Barshay’s look atresearch ([link removed]) behind what was once my favorite tool for learning: flashcards! And from our partners at RetroReport we take you inside ([link removed]) recent Supreme Court rulings on school prayer. As always, we hope you listen, learn from and read our stories, while urging friends and colleagues to sign up for our free newsletters ([link removed]) . Another reminder: Every membership ([link removed]) helps us continue this important work.
