Excited to see this paper online at Journal of Teacher Education! Student teaching placements matter and so we assessed EPPs’ access to high quality placements, whether EPPs make high quality placements, and what predicts making high quality placements. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

EPIC is at the NCARE conference! Excited to support and participate in education research in NC.

Recently I shared a new pub from me & colleagues on student absenteeism. To accompany this, we've also produced a one-pager to share key takeaways in brief! Article: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.... One-pager: epic.unc.edu/wp-content/u... @sarahcfuller.bsky.social @kevincbastian.bsky.social

Here’s a new perspective piece at EdNC focused on full time principal internships in NC. Good news is that the state has decided to fund them for the 2025-26 year! But the issue—questions about the importance of the internship and funding for it—will still be there. www.ednc.org/perspective-...

Excited to share this EdNC perspective piece on the TA to teacher pipeline! www.ednc.org/perspective-... @edweek.org @nctq.bsky.social @ncpublicschools.bsky.social

I am excited to see this work in print! With colleagues Tim Drake and Andrew Otte we used data from NC to assess how characteristics of principal interns and their internship experiences predict movement into a school administrator position. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Shout out to @epic-unc.bsky.social colleagues Rachel Rana and @mrosie.bsky.social for their presentations today at the NC Learning Research Network session! @ncpublicschools.bsky.social @ehutt.bsky.social @t-h-a-d.bsky.social

Very excited to release our annual evaluation report for the NC Principal Fellows program. We look forward to continuing to work with NCPFP to provide data and evidence that fuels program improvement and the leadership pipeline in NC. epic.unc.edu/wp-content/u...

Excited to release, with coauthors Camille Mikkelsen and @sarahcfuller.bsky.social, a new research brief on NC’s support personnel workforce (counselors, social workers, school psychologists) through the pandemic epic.unc.edu/wp-content/u... A few key findings:

New (and early) work from EPIC on paid teacher residency programs in TX epic.unc.edu/wp-content/u.... Much thanks to coauthors @sarahcfuller.bsky.social and Andrew Otte. Several key findings stand out:

Excited to be part of this work with @tswid.bsky.social and @sarahcfuller.bsky.social. Important to think about school attendance and how to promote learning in and out of school.
