Christopher MartellAbout this EdWeek story. RAND, CRPE, and their funders are in the business of decreasing trust in public education. They'd like to see New Orleans-style ed reforms be a nationwide reaction to the pandemic. Undermining trust in teachers is the first step. https://www.edweek.org/teaching-learning/teachers-skills-took-a-hit-during-the-pandemic-too-report-says/2023/07
Also, study has major methodological flaws. Is wholly based on interviews of administrators (not observations of teachers) at a small number of schools. Writers don't usually research teacher instruction. And, this is not peer reviewed. Wish the media would report that too. 😉
