It's a first for the @uscedpolicyhub.bsky.social Substack - we are sharing brand new, original research results! @annarsaavedra.bsky.social, Amie Rapaport and I are looking into reasons for teen absenteeism using the Understanding America Study edpolicyhub.substack.com/p/the-driver...

New at the @uscedpolicyhub.bsky.social Substack - what is student engagement, why are we concerned about it, and what can we do about it? @annarsaavedra.bsky.social edpolicyhub.substack.com/p/student-en...

"Civics education has taken a backseat for far too long. Now is the time to prioritize it, so the next generation will be prepared to carry forward the gift of democracy." With @mpolikoff.bsky.social Amie Rapaport Dan Silver @mwgarland.bsky.social Jake Scollan-Rowley rossier.usc.edu/news-insight...

Hear me (and my mustache) and @annarsaavedra.bsky.social talk about our newest study on civics education, free speech on campus, and DEI in this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHjT...

Love this coverage from @the74.bsky.social of our new report, out today, on Americans' views on civics education in schools. We find surprising bipartisan support for nearly all forms of civics ed., and nearly all topics. www.the74million.org/article/amid...

Our new survey results show strong bipartisan support for civics education, with Republicans driving increases since we asked in 2021. Across the political spectrum, U.S. adults support students debating topics from opposite points of view. @mpolikoff.bsky.social www.the74million.org/article/amid...

I should also add that a *very* substantial proportion of my work is collaborative, especially with @annarsaavedra.bsky.social and her team, and there is absolutely no way I could have had such a productive year without those collaborators.

Excited to be on Bluesky! We're a policy research center at @uscrossier.bsky.social, led by @fullerjo.bsky.social, @annarsaavedra.bsky.social, @mpolikoff.bsky.social, and @patriciaburch.bsky.social, focused on research-practice partnerships in Southern California. More to come!

Super stoked to announce a new grant from the Gates Foundation in partnership with Riverside Unified and Great Minds to work on innovations in math curriculum and implementation. rossier.usc.edu/news-insight...
