nateliason · x · 2026-11-13
Alpha School's learning science team page is drawing attention, with a parent of three Alpha School kids arguing that after digging into members' backgrounds, it's "THE A-team" — hard to imagine a deeper bench in education today.
Per the page, the team spans 26 learning scientists and applied specialists, 200+ years of combined classroom teaching, and 30 books, covering reading, writing, vocabulary, math, science, geography, and psychology from early grades through AP, plus assessment, special education, executive functions, and Direct Instruction.
