Ask just about any federally funded researcher to describe 2025, and they use words like chaotic, demoralizing, confusing, destabilizing and transformational. “It’s been a very destabilizing year [that’s made] people question the nation’s commitment to research,” Heather Pierce, senior director for science policy at the Association of American Medical Colleges, told Inside Higher Ed. She expects 2026 to be a year of rebuilding and standard setting. Speaking of the National Institutes of Health, which calls itself the world’s largest public biomedical research funder, Pierce said the research community is expecting more major regulation and written policy changes in 2026, which…

Sometimes it just creates more questions than answers.…

In a move called historic by charter advocates and shameful by opponents, Indianapolis officials reached agreement on a plan to provide all charter students with buses and close struggling schools.    The proposal, recommended to the state legislature by a panel of leaders from around the city calls for creating a powerful new government agency, the Indianapolis Public Education Corporation, handing charters a measure of control over citywide education decisions they have never had.  The corporation — Indiana’s legal term for a school district — would oversee a unified transportation system for all schools; along with the ability to decide which…

3. Shift from Autopsy Grading to Continuous FeedbackTraditional grading often acts as a terminal event that ends the learning process. It is like an autopsy because it tells you what happened to the patient after it is too late to save them. Student centered assessment focuses on providing actionable feedback while the learning is still happening. This approach encourages students to view their work as iterative and values the process of revision over the final grade.Chromebook TipUtilize the Private Comments feature in Google Classroom or the Suggestion Mode in Google Docs.
