 Dear reader:
Each week I bring you top education stories you may have missed, like this one on inequities in gifted education. But this week I need your help.
We need to raise $30,000 for our member-funded journalism this year, and we’re only about halfway there. Every dollar you give until Dec. 31 will be doubled, thanks to our generous board members and a national NewsMatch campaign for nonprofit newsrooms. Thank you in advance, and please spread the word!
Liz Willen, Editor

Black leaders must not sacrifice jobs, communities for false charter promises, Andre Perry writes.
There’s little information available on which colleges might close in the next few years, even though college closures affect many communities.
Often, a lack of mathematical preparation and socal-emotional challenges prevent students from completing STEM majors, despite their declared interests in such fields. But the problem begins long before college.
Phenomenon-based learning is a lot like project-based learning, a more familiar term in the United States. Both prioritize hands-on activities that give students control over the direction of the project and both emphasize assignments that relate to the real world.
My parents have good jobs but not the means to pay expensive tuition. Starting at a high-cost college would have meant adding more debt, so I opted for what is often known in my state as a transfer institution.
