The Queens Museum hosts a ‘Good Pantry’ in collaboration with La Jornada, and has provided food and art materials to over 32,000 families in Corona, Queens, director Sally Tallant says
“There have always been friendly rivalries among New York City museum directors, but since the pandemic started, we have come together in a way we may never have before,” says Ian Wardropper, the director of the Frick Collection. “There’s an amazing amount of cooperation.”
Wardropper was referring to the weekly or biweekly meetings the directors have been conducting for more than a year to share ideas about best practices and learn from each other. “It’s been a lifeline,” says Sally Tallant, the president and executive director of the Queens Museum. “If you were having a particularly difficult time, you could call anyone about how to handle it and they would make time to talk about it.”

A Washington State University College of Education professor has been invited to be a part of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Mathematics Standing Committee.
Professor of mathematics education Amy Roth McDuffie accepted a two-year appointment to the committee to develop the 2026 NAEP assessment.
“It is an honor to be asked to join as a committee member and this assessment is critically important for our nation,” she said.
The NAEP assessment, often referred to as the nation’s report card, is a federally-legislated requirement to collect data that reports on educational progress among students in the context of teaching and teacher preparation. The assessment is distributed to a sample population of students in grades 4, 8 and 12.
