The U.S. Department of Education has appointed Amber Northern as a senior adviser to oversee reforms at the Institute of Education Sciences (IES). This comes after significant budget cuts and staff layoffs within the IES, which has been criticized for not focusing on student-centered research and for engaging in politically motivated topics. Secretary Linda McMahon emphasized the need for accurate data in education while Northern expressed her intent to revitalize the Institute's service to students, parents, and educators, particularly in its role within federal Research & Development initiatives.
The Institute of Education Sciences has faced criticism for failing to prioritize student-centered research, prompting a new adviser to reform its approach.
Amber Northern aims to make the IES more responsive to educators, parents, and students, emphasizing the importance of accurate data in education.
