Finding New Ways to Bridge the Special Education Gap for Idaho’s Students
The reality is that supporting students with diverse learning needs has always been at the heart of what schools do
Igniting a civics spirit with the National Civics Bee
The National Civics Bee gives students the chance to put their knowledge to the test.
Opening the door to school finance
I encourage our districts and charters to use this new resource to help their communities understand how state resources are being invested to achieve those goals.
Critchfield: Let’s give parents tools to protect their kids online at school, home and beyond
Technology in education isn’t going away—and that comes with a responsibility we all share.
Civics education is essential
Our students deserve an education that prepares them for citizenship.
Success in literacy through the science of reading
Senate Bill 1069 puts specific focus on supporting students by supporting our educators.
Federal changes are an opportunity to make education better fit Idaho
The key to a successful future for our students is simple – get back to basics.
Ensuring the Adequacy of School Funding is Critical
Ensuring stable funding is critical, but without addressing the adequacy of these funds, schools may continue to struggle to meet the evolving needs of their students.
Maintaining our focus as educators amid change
Idaho is fortunate in that we have not depended on the federal government to solve our local problems.
Critchfield: Let’s make Idaho’s school funding formula work for all communities
We have a vested interest in educating our citizens, and we don’t take this responsibility lightly.
