Given the fierce debates about K--12 education spending in recent decades, it is surprising that so little is known about the connection between spending and outcomes -- in effect, why a doubling of money spent on public schools the past 30 years has yielded only slight improvements in student achievement. Marguerite Roza, research associate professor of education and senior scholar at the Center on Reinventing Public Education, addresses this question in her new book, Educational Economics: Where Do School Funds Go?

Emma Elliot-Groves, assistant professor in the College of Education, joined with other educators to provide testimony that imagines a world that fosters stronger human relationships with each other and with the land. They argue that to do this we must first address the challenging contemporary global and national contexts that we are in and understand the paradigms that have led us to where we are. One of the key points made in this testimony is in support of the Indigenous long practiced forms of education in which land-based, play-based, intergenerational, and applied learning strategies have helped the next generation learn what it means to live in ethical and sustainable relationship with all living beings. They stress that these long-standing systems of education that have helped our children learn the full spectrum of what it means to be human, to live ethically, and to take care of one another have been interrupted by colonial models of education.
