If your Friday brain is fried like mine, whatever you're looking for is probably in the AEFP live Handbook. Hopefully, this saves others from annoyingly texting their co-authors @caitlinkearney.bsky.social livehandbook.org

If you know of a student who is looking for a education post doc (now, odd timing I know), I may have an opportunity for them. They would be working Texas admin data so experience with that would be a big plus.

🚨 New working paper! I examine how universities and students use federal TEACH Grants, how these grants change recipients’ financial aid packages and out-of-pocket costs, and their relationship to students’ decisions to pursue teaching degrees. Read it here: edworkingpapers.com/ai25-1278

Just sharing a resource I’ve known about but only recently started using. If you’re studying a federal policy, the Library of Congress has records of all proposed bills to amend it, whether or not they ever passed. Tons of ways this can be useful, but two I’ve found especially helpful:

This is my hometown and the school system I grew up in. Mrs. Kimrey was my 10th-grade writing teacher. If you’re wondering why I’m interested in my work, this sums it up pretty well.

Today is the final day of work for many dedicated, talented employees at the Institute of Education Sciences. I am thankful for their service, and I hope that they find new roles that continue their mission of supporting education research that serves as a public good.

Thread in the am but if you want the main takeaway: The 2024 Digest of Education Statistics (under the current administration) includes just 27 tables by the (Congressionally mandated) deadline—far fewer than the nearly 270, on average, published in prior years www.brookings.edu/articles/the...

🚨 One day left to sign up for the paper swap! Submit your article using the link below — I’ll match papers and connect authors next week.

Excited to be attending the Triangle Economics of Education Workshop today! One of the best parts of living in North Carolina is the chance to connect with researchers across so many strong institutions. Looking forward to a day of thoughtful conversations and new ideas.

Graduation and Mother’s Day all in one weekend—hard to top that! Grateful for my wife, mom, advisor, family, and all the educators who made this possible.

If you missed this the first time—there's still time to sign up! I’ll start matching papers after Friday, May 16, so get yours in before then if you want to participate. The submissions so far are super exciting, and I can't wait to see more!

🚨Organizing a paper swap for early career edu policy researchers.🚨 Share a nearly-complete draft, exchange feedback, and connect with peers. Great if you’ve got a lingering project or diss chapter that could use feedback and soft deadlines to move it forward this summer. Sign up & learn more here:

Late update, but excited to share I successfully defended my dissertation on April 1–and no one’s said April Fools yet. Big thanks to my advisor Dr. Lauren Sartain and committee @drconstance.bsky.social @ehutt.bsky.social @danielklasik.bsky.social & Steve Hemelt for their support the past 5 yrs!

🤦🏻‍♂️ Reading other people’s interpretations of this graph makes me want to scream.

Education scholar friends: People don’t necessarily understand the value of education research in the same intuitive way they understand the value of research into cancer, etc. Drop examples of high-impact edu research in the thread below. #edusky apple.news/Atlzcr6jARYG...

Mentor Match is back! The AEFP Doc Student Community Group is hosting the 2nd edition of the Mentor Match event this spring, so if you're interested in a casual conversation with your "dream mentor", please answer a few survey questions linked below: tinyurl.com/aefpmentorma... @aefpweb.bsky.social

Thursday, I’m teaching my undergrads about writing briefs, memos, and op-eds. I’m looking for examples where folks share their research in both academic and public-facing styles. Do you have work like this? If so, drop the links below—I’d love to feature fresh, relevant examples in class! 🙌 #EduSky

An U.S. education news reporter starter pack! 🎉 Please let us know if we missed anyone. ❤️ You're going to want to follow these folks to make sense of what promises to be a tumultuous presidential term. go.bsky.app/UccLjhX

Something I liked about the other space was staying connected with folks working in education across NC. In the spirit of recreating that here (and a bit of procrastination), check out this feed: #nced *This is just the first attempt, so I’m sure there will be bugs, errors, and plenty to improve!

Any starter packs or suggestions for Education reporters or media outlet accounts that have made the move over here?

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

Giving this place another try! Here’s what I missed posting in the last ~9 months Not so “new” (anymore) paper looking at who takes postsecondary online courses, and what effect these courses have on student learning and degree completion.

Excited to share our new research exploring teachers' perceptions of their evaluation systems. We document how these perceptions evolve over time and their relationship to the environments in which teachers work.

First @appam.bsky.social in the books! So exciting to hear from so many thoughtful edu policy researchers and connect with old (and new) colleagues!

If you're still at APPAM, I'll be presenting a poster today describing the K-12 environments from which potential new teachers emerge, with a particular focus on their geography and the student populations they serve.

We are used to hearing about long lines on Election Day, but today, in Chapel Hill, nothing compares to the wait times at the grand opening of Raising Cane’s

What’s your best advice/resource for Ph.D. Students trying to improve there writing?

Hi, everyone! Guess I should introduce myself. I'm Wesley, a 4th-year PhD student in Ed Policy at UNC-Chapel Hill. My research interests revolve around teacher labor markets, rural education, and incentives to attract new educators to the profession and retain them. Excited to connect with you all!

For both traditional and alternative programs it seems.
