Excited to welcome @KnowledgeAll members from around the country to the KA Fall Forum! This year’s Forum will focus on the rapidly evolving role of artificial intelligence (AI) and education technology in research, policy and practice. Stay tuned for more updates!
America's students deserve an education based on what works, not guesswork. Delivering on that promise is not possible without Federal investment in high-quality education R&D.
Check out @KnowledgeAll's full messaging framework: knowledgeall.net/wp-content/…
.@KnowledgeAll recently commented on proposed changes to the Federal grantmaking process. KA emphasized that the changes could create instability and discourage qualified applicants from competing for funding. Read more in @hechingerreport: hechingerreport.org/proof-po…
This week, KA held DC Days to meet with appropriations staff to discuss how Federal R&D improves outcomes for students. As FY27 funding discussions continue, KA remains actively engaged with Congressional offices to advocate for robust investments in Federal R&D programs.
.@KnowledgeAll is continuing to advocate for the full and timely apportionment + obligation of Congressionally-appropriated funding for IES. Read our letter to OMB and ED from earlier this year, joined by nearly 100 organizations from across the country: knowledgeall.net/wp-content/…
Great to join #CEFHillDay – alongside more than 75 fellow advocates from across the country – to encourage support for key federal programs that expand access to education, strengthen teacher recruitment and retention, and preserve the federal role in education RD&D!
2026 marks @KnowledgeAll's 55th anniversary. That’s 55 years of advocating for strong Federal support of critical research & innovation that supports students, educators & families.

“When you cut IES ... you are not continuing to make the investments that improve student outcomes, and we've seen from the NAEP scores that this is not a time to pull back on finding out what works for kids,” - Rachel Dinkes, CEO of @KnowledgeAll.

Today marks 100 days until nearly $300 million in FY26 funding for Federal education research lapses on 9/30. Without it, we’ll lose key insights about what’s working (& what isn’t) in our education system.
OMB & ED must act NOW to support students & families nationwide.
The recent NAEP long-term trend report showed mixed results for students.
NAEP provides a snapshot. Federal investment in R&D enables us to understand what’s driving scores & what it will take to move them. That investment remains as important as ever.

It was great to be w/ Dr. Carey Wright, State Superintendent of Schools in MD, & education reporters and experts from across the country at the @EdWriters' 2026 national seminar in Baltimore, focused on the tremendous changes to Federal education policy, programs, and personnel.
As it stands, the Office of Management and Budget has apportioned only a tiny fraction of FY26 funding appropriated by Congress for Education Innovation and Research (EIR) and Comprehensive Centers (CCs), among many other programs.

It was great to join @edfunding, and Executive Director Jared Bass, for the launch of their FY27 budget book! @KnowledgeAll was proud to contribute chapters on RELs, CCs, and EIR as we work to ensure robust support for Federal education RD&D in the FY27 budget.
