Liz Willen Dear reader,
The pandemic created a number of pressing problems we’ve been reporting on at The Hechinger Report, from the need for more intensive tutoring ([link removed]) to a range of mental health issues ([link removed]) , including anxiety, depression and panic attacks.
We are eager to hear about what schools, communities and families are doing to address these troubling trends, and what’s been helping, as we move through another anniversary of the shocking lockdown that shuttered cities around the world, so please get in touch.
Teacher shortages are another pandemic consequence, and nowhere is this more true than in rural America. This week, we take a look ([link removed]) at Wyoming, where despite the lovely landscape and great skiing, the average tenure for teachers is just four years. Check out what the state has been doing to entice them to stay longer, with courses that address real-life problems they encounter in the classroom and feedback they can put to use immediately.
As our readers know, we love to hear about solutions. ([link removed]) It was great meeting many of our readers last week at SXSW EDU ([link removed]) , and taking part in many conversations about how to improve education. Let’s keep the conversation going; please tell a friend to sign up ([link removed]) for our newsletters.
Liz Willen, Editor

Main Idea
** How one university is creatively tackling the rural teacher shortage ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Rather than add novices, Wyoming works to find new ways to keep experienced teachers on the job. Many states are grappling with this problem. Keeping teachers in classrooms is a complicated issue that involves a balance of competitive pay, meaningful work and helping teachers become masters at their craft so they feel like they can make a difference.

Reading List
** PROOF POINTS: Trial finds cheaper, quicker way to tutor young kids in reading ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
One organization has designed a different tutoring model, which gives very short one-to-one tutoring sessions to young children who are just learning to read.

STUDENT VOICES: We need more women in STEM fields, and we have ideas for making that happen ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Clubs, classes and opportunities to speak out will help us spread the word and shoot for the moon.
** OPINION: Higher ed can do much more to include immigrants, starting with English instruction ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Millions of immigrants are either unemployed or underemployed in the U.S. today, representing a largely untapped but robust pipeline of potential learners and employees. We just need to help them with their English skills.
** OPINION: Lessons from city planners may help address student behavior problems ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
With an anemic post-pandemic pipeline for teacher talent, educators are being asked to take on more or larger classes alongside the Herculean challenges of lost instructional time and a national emergency in child and adolescent mental health.
