Have you Heard? Newsworthy items from the field

Abstract

Students from low-income families are disproportionately assigned to special education programs. The Aspen Institute releases a new report offering six recommendations for supporting students’ social, emotional, and cognitive growth. Teachers who promote products on social media need to be aware of ethical questions about the practice. NPR is holding a competition for student podcasters. A study shows schools of choice are less likely to respond to inquiries from parents of children with special needs.
