🚨There is a lot of policy movement to expand career & technical Ed but little evidence of what to expect from such expansion. Our WP provides evidence from MA on take up & ➕impacts in the first 5 yrs after HS. #cte

I'd love to help make BlueSky one of the places where young scholars introduce themselves and their work to the world. If you're a PhD student whose work at least partially focuses on economics of education or education policy, reply to this thread and I'll highlight your work.

Access to career and technical education programs in Washtenaw County is inequitable, according to a 2024 report from the Youth Policy Lab at the University of Michigan.

Published in Economics of Education Review! Building on @joshua-goodman.com's post, we find public school enrollment declines are concentrated in higher-income districts, middle grades, and among White and Asian students. I hope these findings support discussions on the shifting education landscape.

What Makes Some CTE Programs Great While Others Fall Short? by Hannah Kistler, @doughesm.bsky.social & @annenberginstitute.bsky.social's Christina Claiborne www.the74million.org/article/what...

🚨New publication alert🚨 I'm thrilled Economics of Education Review has just published my work w/ @abbyfrancis.bsky.social: "School enrollment shifts five years after the pandemic" Abstract below, but read the next few posts for the story told via a handful of graphs. doi.org/10.1016/j.ec...

I finally wrote up my advice to PhD applicants in FAQ format. It's only my unofficial, personal perspective for folks interested in working with me at Harvard @harvardeducation.bsky.social. I also plug other measurement programs at @ncme38.bsky.social! andrewho.scholars.harvard.edu/sites/g/file...

Does anyone know of any good references for post-pandemic trends in public school enrollment in countries other than the US? Have other countries seen a turn away from public schools and toward private/independent schools? Trying to add some international evidence to a paper on our local context.

Wonderful summary and resource by Hannah C. Kistler and @doughesm.bsky.social —for policymakers and researchers interested in Career & Technical Education (CTE)!

I'm very proud to share a new, first-of-its-kind analysis and data tool from my team at @educationwork.newamerica.org. Redrawing the Lines is a first-ever look at how, if states draw school district borders with equity as the goal, they can HUGELY reduce funding inequality and segregation. #edusky

📢New working paper (a chapter from my dissertation), co-authored with @doughesm.bsky.social, is now posted at the Rappaport Institute for Greater Boston! Does Expanding Access to High Quality Technical Education Induce Participation and Improve Outcomes? (1/n) www.hks.harvard.edu/sites/defaul...

By far my favorite part of South Korean elections: election night graphics. SBS television station kills it EVERY. TIME. They play these clips all night and they get more and more unhinged and creative as the night goes on.

Please share this position with your networks!

I was preparing to pitch an op-ed on the nationwide protests calling for President Yoon's resignation, aiming to provide global context amid the limited international coverage. Given the urgency, I’m sharing it now. I didn’t expect events to escalate this quickly. #SouthKorea #Democracy

This is absolutely not the news I would have dreamed of waking up to. South Korea's Yoon declares emergency martial law. to I have some scattered thoughts to follow. m-en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN2024...

Thanks so much, Shaun🥹 I couldn’t be happier to have such a wonderful advisor. My doctoral student life is amazing with you!

I just finished three presentations at #2024APPAM and #SEA2024! It was an amazing experience sharing our work (with @doughesm.bsky.social), and receiving insightful feedback from colleagues. There are so many reasons to love APPAM, but this year’s highlight has to be this cute teddy bear 🧸!

Heading to #2024APPAM! Thursday morning, I’ll present two papers with @doughesm.bsky.social. If you’re interested in School Choice or Career & Technical Education, don’t miss these panels! Plus, as a 2024 Student Ambassador, I’ll co-lead an ignite chat on Building and Maintaining Networks. Join us!

Seems useful for anyone working in CTE and with federal datasets...

I'm thrilled to see this site building a serious community of researchers, writers and policymakers focused on education policy and economics. Below are links to 3 Starter Packs I've made to help you connect with such folks. Please let me know if I've missed you. The volume of requests has been 😮

Here's a Starter Pack on "Education policy journalists and writers". My hope is to encourage more journalists, think-tankers, etc. to join in conversation with researchers here. Please suggest names, including your own! go.bsky.app/3XhYmo3

Here's the student edition of my "Education economics and policy" Starter Pack. Help me build this up by suggesting names, including yours! go.bsky.app/FUjWT5E

I'm going to create a Starter Pack of PhD and MA students working in the economics of education and education policy. Let me know if you'd like to be included.

Boston crew at #SREE2024!

Nows a good time to remind new peeps that @joshgoodmanbu.bsky.social created a fantastic Ed Econ and Policy Starter pack. #academicSky #highered #education

I really enjoyed my first conference presentation at #SREE2024 - about the impact of interdistrict magnet school opening on racial/economic diversity in proximal schools. Thanks to my amazing advisor @doughesm 😉

I just PASSED the comprehensive exam with distinction!!🥳 One step closer to earning my Ph.D. My presentation at #2024SREE next week will be a wonderful first step as a Ph.D. candidate.😉

I was pleased to present my preliminary findings on "Gender Disparities in Vocational Education: Implications for the Korean HS Credit System" at the 2024 KIRN in Sejong. Some of my descriptive findings are mentioned in a news article: news.khan.kr/7Agfw. 🧵

Thanks to Dr. Goodman and @MingyanDMa for giving the best causal design course. I'm greatful for the Boston Area Consortia, which broadened my knowledge and professional network. Tip: If your university participates cross-registration, take this advantage!

Starting from the 2025 cohort, S.Korea's high school education system will see a major overhaul with the adoption of a credit system. Not only will college admissions criteria shift, but HS graduation requirements will also change. (1/2)
