Washington, New Mexico, and California are among the few states that differentiate AI guidance by age. But there’s still a gap in guidance for children birth to age 5. More in NASBE’s latest policy update: nasbe.org/setting-ed-tech-an…

Kentucky is redefining what accountability can be. Instead of relying only on test scores, districts are building systems that also measure the skills, experiences and outcomes their communities value most for learners.

Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Tennessee are making real academic gains. The instinct is to look for a silver bullet. Wrong question — what the "Southern Surge" states share is transparent accountability paired with real support for schools.

NASBE retweeted
Special education has had the most persistent teacher shortages of any specialty for 30 years, and more than a third of public schools still don't have enough special ed teachers. But as @SarahDSparks reports, only 11 states offer higher pay for these roles. That's a missed opportunity, especially when states like Hawaii have demonstrated that annual incentives can help fill open special ed positions and keep these teachers in the classroom. edweek.org/teaching-learning…

Entrenched mindsets. Policies that reinforce dated models. A lack of implementation support. These are barriers to scaling transformed high schools. Our latest report makes recommendations for states to set conditions that make transformation possible. nasbe.org/states-role-in-tra…

@NASBE’s latest policy update argues that, while innovative high school models have expanded, principals’ access to support has not kept up. What can districts do? bit.ly/3V7kSum
