Liz Willen Dear reader,

One of the best parts about being an education journalist, along with visiting classrooms and meeting students, is having a front row seat to discussions about what’s wrong in education, what’s working and what those in the field believe needs to change. Our work at The Hechinger Report reflects this, and this week the topics we’re exploring through a solutions lens include climate change ([link removed]) , keeping single moms ([link removed]) in college and ways high school vocational studies are changing ([link removed]) and finding success.

I always like to share what I’m learning too – which, most recently, has included much hand-wringing about the state of U.S. education post-pandemic.

Last week, I heard another host of concerns during a panel I moderated at the Carnegie Corporation in New York City, with Timothy Knowles, who has spent years working on policies that help underserved children, and Dan Weisberg, first deputy of New York City schools, who is increasingly concerned about declining enrollment in the nation’s largest school system. Next week, I’ll be moderating a session ([link removed]) hosted by Stanford University’s Graduate School of Education and the Yidan Prize Foundation.

All of these are great opportunities to listen and learn, as are other events I’ve attended this year: the Higher Education Forum in Aspen, SXSW EDU in Austin and the ASU+GSV summit in San Diego. They supplement our reporting, but none of these events are a substitute for hearing from those on the ground – including parents and teachers who help us by sending in story ideas and opinion pieces ([link removed]) and signing up ([link removed]) and responding to our newsletters.

We also love to hear from students, like these Asian American New Yorkers who have strong views ([link removed]) about history instruction in their classrooms. Please spend time with these stories, get in touch and consider becoming a Hechinger Report member. ([link removed])

Main Idea


** Canceled classes, sweltering classrooms: How extreme heat impairs learning ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
As climate change drives up temperatures, kids are suffering in school buildings without air conditioning or being sent home early for ‘heat days’
Reading List


** Rethinking community college supports for single moms ([link removed])

Four community colleges push a program to help students who are single moms

** We asked Asian American students what they wanted from history instruction. They say including their voices is not enough. ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
New York city public school students shared their stories, concerns and hopes for the Asian American and Pacific Islander curriculum that will be introduced to U.S. history classrooms this fall.



** OPINION: Black men too often resist therapy and shy away from mental health careers ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
We must find ways to fix both supply and demand, starting with making therapy feel normal in college



** OPINION: For many students who are also caregivers, Biden’s loan forgiveness plan is a much-needed lifeline ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, breathing room for millions who worked hard to achieve their dreams while propping up our broken system of unpaid care
