Last month, J-PAL North America's Government Partnerships Lead Louise Geraghty served as a panelist for a National Conference of State Legislatures Base Camp session to discuss the opportunities government partners have to implement more evidence-based policymaking in their work. Louise shared the key methods state and local governments can take to further support evidence-based policymaking efforts. This includes increasing the accessibility of data sharing and using funding for evidence-building activities such as evaluations and scale up of evidence-based programs.

Twice Exceptional? Dyslexic? Yale should be more likely than Jail, but we fail to identify these students and too many end up in jail! Most educators are never afforded opportunities to understand cognition before they become teachers or even during their lifelong tenure as teachers. This sets up too many students to struggle. Cognition drives learning and there is a proper way to teach for students to learn optimally….and it has nothing to do with being a subject matter expert. In addition to that gap in our system, every classroom contains a room of cognitively diverse students, which inevitably affects their ability to process information. Most of these struggles go unseen or misdiagnosed as we judge the misbehaviors or treat the visible symptoms (e.g. attentiveness caused by weak auditory working memory, anxiety caused by slow processing speed) rather than learn to identify the root cause and or differentiate instruction accordingly. The consequence of failing to train our educators to master cognition lead to frustration and failure for our students. It doesn’t stop there. Failing leads to suffering and frustration, which often lead to risky behavior, causing millions of incarcerations per year. I know this first hand from relatives who were undiagnosed and my own personal experiences failing and misbehaving in school. I suffered for a decade (in silence) as I coped by skipping more clases than I attended and attending more detention than anyone in my school’s history. FACTS: 2/3 of juvenile detention are dyslexics; along with 50% of drug and alcohol abuse while 40% of the most successful entrepreneurs and 50% of NASA scientists are also dyslexics. These are innate problem solvers wired for divergent thinking but our failure to identify and support them while in school drives them to suffer and escape by self medicating and other risky behaviors. We can do better, which is why I’m delighted to support the International Truancy and Dropout Prevention Conference as their Keynote Speaker. #dyslexia #twiceexceptional #neurodivergent Dean Starbuck Bragonier
