Students of color are at greater risk for reading difficulties – even in kindergarten
The achievement gap in reading is evident by students’ first year of school, according to a new study – making early intervention all the more important.

Mindfulness is gaining traction in American schools – but it isn’t clear what students are learning
Understanding the nuances of what mindfulness can look like in a classroom can help educators, parents and policymakers decide whether it belongs in their schools.

Both the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations have now passed funding for science agencies with moderate cuts and flat funding, respectively. Both bills are quite far from the president's budget request, which proposes massive cuts to science funding.
The Senate Committee on Appropriations gave the first signs Congress will push back on Trump's proposed budget cuts to science and instead keep funding flat, though an unrelated issue (the location of the FBI headquarters) stalled any vote today.
