On this episode of Trending in Education, host Mike Palmer welcomes Liz Cohen, Vice President of Policy at 50CAN and author of the new book, The Future of Tutoring: Lessons from 10,000 School District Tutoring Initiatives. We explore the massive, rapid mobilization of tutoring efforts in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated learning disruptions. We look at the key components of effective high-impact tutoring—small groups, consistent adults, and regularly scheduled in the school day—and how the strong evidence base has galvanized educators and advocates toward a unified solution. Liz shares her "constellation" metaphor, distinguishing between "bright stars" (districts deeply committed to sustained funding and implementation) and those still struggling with scale, funding, and strategy. Beyond the academic gains, we discuss the powerful role of tutoring as a catalyst for human connection and a potential pipeline for new educators. We also debate the future scenarios for tutoring, including the role of AI tools, outcomes-based contracting for responsible spending, and how this moment of change proves the public education system is capable of renovation. Key Takeaways: The High-Impact Tutoring Surge: About 80% of U.S. school districts launched some form of tutoring post-pandemic, with two-thirds aiming for high-impact models: small groups, in-school, at least three times a week, and led by a consistent adult. A Unified Solution: The convergence of a clear problem (learning disruption), evidence-based research (like the Saga program's impact on Algebra I scores), and massive federal funding created a rare moment of unity in education reform. More Than Academics: The success of tutoring is deeply rooted in human relationships; it helps young people feel they "matter," building motivation through demonstrated competence and productive struggle in a high-support, high-standards environment. The Future Workforce Pipeline: Tutoring roles, especially those engaging college students and young adults, are proving to be effective on-ramps into the teaching profession. The Funding Cliffhanger: With one-time federal funding largely spent, the future depends on districts embedding tutoring into their core strategy and utilizing tools like outcomes-based contracting to ensure they only pay for measurable results. Why You Should Listen: If you are a district leader, educator, education advocate, or parent, this episode offers a clear-eyed view of what the most successful districts are doing to accelerate learning and how they are planning to sustain those efforts. You will gain an understanding of how to leverage research-backed practices, why buy-in from principals and teachers is critical, and the innovative ways technology can support—but not replace—the essential human element of tutoring. Liz Cohen provides the framework for turning a pandemic response into a lasting positive change for the American education system.

In 1983, the body of 21-year-old bartender Dana DuMars was found in Candy Cane Park in La Grande, Oregon. The case was never solved, though for years children grew up with scary stories about the park. An investigator for the district attorney’s office spent years looking into the case and finally narrowed in on potential suspects. But then, cuts from the federal Department of Justice to local law enforcement ended the investigation. Emma Goldberg wrote about this story for the New York Times and joins us to talk about it.
We look at the future of MKE Roots, a program that helps teachers make social studies relevant to students. How tribal schools across the Great Lakes region test for safe drinking water. Plus, we look at the history of the ghost army – a unit of soldiers in World War II who used fake weapons and other deception to trick the Nazis.
Back in September, Lake Effect reported on the sudden cancellation of federal funding for MKE Roots. The program trains Milwaukee-area teachers on how to make social studies relevant to students by connecting them to local history. Last month, MKE Roots was notified that it would again receive federal funding. But the money came with the stipulation that the program focus on commemorating the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Melissa Gibson is an associate professor at Marquette University and the faculty director of MKE Roots. She speaks with Lake Effect's Sam Woods about the changes to its federal grant funding, and how it will – and won't - change what the program does.

Tony Woodlief breaks down how federal funding impacts state autonomy, noting that Missouri relies on federal dollars for 46% of its revenue. He explains how federal money often comes with mandates that limit state and local control, especially in education where federal funds make up just 14% but drive curriculum and policy requirements. Woodlief argues for reining in federal spending, increasing state oversight of federal grants, and restoring decision-making power to local communities.
Hour 3 features Tony Woodlief on how federal funding limits state control and why Missouri's reliance on federal dollars impacts local decision-making. Tonya J. Powers joins to preview a busy week at the Supreme Court, including the major case on presidential tariff authority. Scott on the Spot closes the hour with his take on the biggest stories of the day.

Welcome to In Reality, the podcast about truth, disinformation, and the media with Eric Schurenberg, longtime journalist and media executive, now the founder of the Alliance for Trust in Media. Two weeks ago, as we recorded this episode, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting closed its doors. As you no doubt know, Congress this summer voted to claw back money it had already approved to support the Corporation's work. That work included, among other things, the distribution of federal funding to local public broadcasters, so the voiding of Congress' promise leaves local stations to fend for themselves. Today's guest stands at the center of this wrenching transition for public media. She's Jennifer Ferro, the president of KCRW—Los Angeles's flagship NPR affiliate—and the chair of National Public Radio's board of directors. Jennifer and Eric talk about how KCRW is reinventing itself for a generation that doesn't own a radio, about the threats to public journalism that go beyond funding—from TikTok to political polarization—and why she believes her real competition isn't commercial news but the erosion of trust in professional journalism itself. We also discuss the accusations of political bias at NPR, the lawsuit between NPR and CPB, and what's at stake when Americans live in separate, sealed information bubbles...Website - free episode transcriptswww.in-reality.fmAlliance for Trust in Mediaalliancefortrust.com Produced by Tom Platts at Sound Sapiensoundsapien.com

This summer, Republicans clawed back over a billion dollars that had been pledged to public media. But it wasn't until this month that the corporation for public broadcasting – longtime distributor of that money – started to wind down operations, and those federal funds finally ran out. Now, many stations are weighing whether to spend their shrinking budgets on national programming from the likes of NPR, or to fund journalism on their local communities. We're affected, too. So begins a new reckoning to save not just individual stations, but the interconnected system that makes public radio so special.LaFontaine E.

And, Wisconsin health officials recommend COVID vaccine boosters for anyone over six months old.
For decades, rural Oregon counties that contain large swaths of federally owned forest land have depended on a share of timber revenues from federal logging to fund schools, law enforcement and other essential public services. These payments were originally meant to offset the loss of property tax revenue that counties could not collect on federal lands. But when logging on these lands slowed drastically in the 1990s due to new environmental protections — like the Endangered Species Act — those payments plummeted. In response, Congress stepped in with a temporary fix: the Secure Rural Schools Program. First passed in 2000, Congress reauthorized it multiple times over the years until it allowed it to expire in 2023. Congress which it enacted in 2000 and reauthorized multiple times until it expired in 2023. The lapse in the SRS reauthorization has triggered the default distribution of the significantly reduced timber revenue to counties. The federal budget process has introduced new complications as well. President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which was signed into law in July, requires federal agencies to ramp up logging. But it also includes a provision redirecting all proceeds from timber sales on lands in counties to the federal government — threatening one of the last fiscal lifelines for rural governments to fund its core services. With counties facing budgeting shortfalls that carry big consequences, questions about how to create a long-term sustainable path forward have taken on new urgency. Lane County Commissioner Heather Buch and Klamath County Commissioner Derrick DeGroot — whose counties receive the second- and third-highest federal payments in Oregon after Douglas County — join us, along with Mark Haggerty, a senior fellow at the liberal-leaning thinktank Center for American Progress to talk about the challenges Oregon’s rural counties face and what a stable funding model for these counties might look like. Curry County Commissioner Jay Trost declined to participate in the conversation but provided OPB with a statement: Curry County has the second lowest property tax rate in Oregon at .59 per thousand of assessed value and like most Oregon Counties, we have not been able to keep up with the inflation over the past 4 years. We had to endure a 31% reduction in the county budget for the 24/25 fiscal year, we were able to maintain that with no further budget reductions in the 25/26 budget because of timber revenues that came in and covered the annual employee role up costs. These O&C timber funds allowed us to remain fairly status quo in terms of service delivery. Going forward if those funds are not made available to us, we will most likely see more reductions in county services. We are working diligently to think outside the box, identify alternative solutions that will maximize each dollar and become more efficient. These efforts will help and are necessary, however the reality remains the same, if we don’t receive timber revenues, and or PILT (payment in lieu of taxes) payments we will have to make cuts. We remain confident that the federal legislature will correct the language needed to ensure that counties like ours that rely on natural resources revenue will not be negatively impacted.
In a major blow to historically Black colleges and universities, the Trump administration has cut nearly $350 million in federal funding for Minority-Serving Institution programs, including those supporting Hispanic, Asian American, and Native American students. Education Secretary Linda McMahon said the programs discriminated by restricting eligibility based on race. The move has sparked concern across higher education, raising questions about access, equity, and the future of federal support for under-resourced institutions.

In this week's episode, host Margaret Walls talks with Dominic Parker, a professor at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, about the first US government–run environmental management agencies and how they've influenced the survival of wildlife in the United States. Parker's new coauthored journal article discusses the economic, political, and social forces that led to the founding of state wildlife agencies and contributed to their growth over time. Parker explains how wildlife management agencies facilitated the rebound of several well-known species in the United States, including the white-tailed deer, after a period of intense decline. Parker underscores the importance of natural resource management that responds to the needs of both people and the environment, ensuring the continued enjoyment of natural spaces and survival of wildlife in the United States.

Economy Eurozone's Economic Outlook Worsens Amid U.S. Tariffs, Domestic Pressures the Eurozone's economic outlook has indeed deteriorated, driven by a combination of external pressures from U.S. tariffs and internal domestic issues. Recent data from the European Commission shows a decline in economic sentiment, signaling broader pessimism among businesses and consumers. The tariffs target key EU exports, leading to reduced demand and higher costs.Key quantitative impacts from analyses include: Estimates vary by scenario, but a baseline tariff increase could reduce EU GDP by 0.2% to 0.8%. For instance, in a symmetric tariff war, GDP might fall by 0.8-1.2%, with Germany facing a 0.4% contraction. The EU's trade surplus with the U.S. is shrinking amid surging imports, exacerbated by trade diversion from China (e.g., a 12% year-on-year increase in Chinese exports to the EU as of May 2025). The automotive industry faces double-digit hits to earnings, with potential 53% drops in export demand for machinery and equipment under a 10% tariff hike.
