With Great Sadness We Announce the Death of Judy Heumann

With great sadness we announce the death of a deeply admired and cherished friend Judy Heumann. Judy was a well-known activist, advocate, and leader who advanced the cause of disability rights. Judy was first widely known for her important role in the 1977 nonviolent takeover of a San Francisco federal office building to protest the federal government’s failure to issue regulations for Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. The act became law four years before Heumann and other activists successfully pushed the government to issue the regulations.

The conversation builds on encouraging findings from a recent study by Mathematica for the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), which suggested individualized, video-based teacher coaching can improve student achievement in English language arts and—in some contexts—math.
