What's better on a bad weather weekend than a podcast?!? Check out this new "Emerging Research in Educational Psychology" episode with Drs. @wcastillophd.bsky.social and @sarahgillborn.bsky.social, who talk all about QuantCrit and how to apply it to your research. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

Using a large census survey, we found students are absent ~1 day more when they lack healthcare! #educationpolicy is #healthpolicy #absenteeism #attendance

Now published in the Journal of School Health, @wcastillophd.bsky.social and I drew upon national survey data to look at the relationship between missing healthcare when needed and student attendance. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

If I could make 120k I would return to the classroom. What is your number? #TeacherShortage #EdPolicy #teachersalary

In 'My path from traditional to critical quantitative methods: integrating racial equity frameworks in quantitative research' I reflect and critique my prior research. I'm excited to uplift new frameworks and methodologies: CritSEM, CRMM, and JAV lnkd.in/eUVX6uWC

@cohodes.bsky.social has a lot of them posted here sarahcohodes.com/links/

There was someone on here who compiled a beautiful list of public datasets I can't find it now, help please @bakerdphd.bsky.social @carajackson.bsky.social Do you know?

We put together a very visual and mobile-friendly look at how videos shot by people on smarthpones have become a defining way that the public is seeing Trump's immigration crack down. www.nbcnews.com/specials/tru...

We definitely need a 4 day workweek. Adulting takes a whole day 😀 Gym, doctors appointments, dentists, bills, backlog of emails

Today, eight selective colleges, including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Johns Hopkins University, and Vanderbilt University announced they will accept these “civility transcripts” among the factors they weigh in college-admissions decisions. www.edweek.org/teaching-lea...

The quotes from the UNC spokesperson do not provide any confidence that this will be resolved smoothly. If I'm remembering correctly, their raises take effect in July meaning delaying this vote actually messes with faculty pay. You don't do that *accidentally* cause you're *super busy*.

They’re basically just trying to kill off US higher education as an industry at this point. Even a delay will pose a critical decision for thousands of prospective students whose futures are now in the air.

Did anyone attend the SREE funding webinar about the future pf philanthropic ed research? @drconstance.bsky.social @matthewakraft.bsky.social @chingos.bsky.social @carajackson.bsky.social @bakerdphd.bsky.social please share any notes/insights. I was so sorry to miss it.

Proposed cuts to #Medicaid could worsen chronic absenteeism (missing 10% or more school days). Learn more in this brief from @wcastillophd.bsky.social & @jeremylsinger.bsky.social where they explain why healthcare access is key to students' ability to stay in school. 🔗 scholars.org/contribution...

We are thrilled to welcome @wcastillophd.bsky.social of Montclair State University to the network! Dr. Castillo’s research interests lie at the intersection of data, racial equity, and education. Learn more in Castillo's member profile: scholars.org/scholar/wend...

When we add to this the Cato Institute report showing how many migrants sent to El Salvador had in fact entered the country legally, THIS is the top story of the night. The U.S. is sending people to horrors in foreign prisons. People who have had no due process. An actual nightmare.

The Secretary of Education has released the department's funding priorities. They are: 1) Evidence-based literacy 2) Expanding education choice 3) Returning education to the states www.ed.gov/about/news/p...

For comparison, they're sad that white men are only 56% of the tenured faculty in 2023 after being 64% in 2013

Given recent #FederalCuts to #MentalHealth I felt urgency 2 share early findings from a project w/ @jeremylsinger.bsky.social exploring the relationship btwn unmet healthcare needs & #absenteeism #1 cited type of unmet healthcare was #MentalHealth @scholars.org scholars.org/contribution...

Can Democrats hire a good PR person yesterday?!? Yes, lawsuits are good and protests. But the narrative needs to get out to the public that what is happening to our country is bad for everyone 😔

So much knowledge and data being lost. I know it's not the same because we live in a digital world & potentially can save some of this (I hope). But it reminds me of the burning of Mayan books & centuries of knowledge lost. They were left with 2 books 📚 How many will we be left with?

I think modern warfare would look very different from WWII. Definitely trade wars, digital wars. Other thoughts on what it would or does look like?

NAGB just voted (reluctantly) to kill several NAEP exams over the next 10 yrs. Cuts: 1) No Long-Term Trend NAEP at all until 2033. 2) No 4th grade science in 2028 and no 12th grade science in 2032. 3) Writing scrapped altogether. 4) No 12th grade history in 2030 (1/3)

When your friends from other countries tell you the reality: The US is really center right and it's adjusting post Obama and Biden.

It is not normal that my friends who are US Citizens don't want to travel abroad. Not normal that I am thinking seriously about my escape plan.

Cuts to the Institute of Education Sciences threaten decades of progress in independent education research. We need more evidence—not less. Our case for strengthening IES: 🔗 www.brookings.edu/articles/how... With @statstipton.bsky.social & Jessaca Spybrook #EdResearch #IES #EduSky

The same administration pushing universities to ban DEI is also demanding that they have quotas based on “viewpoint diversity.” But also anybody who thinks academia lacks viewpoint diversity had never attended a faculty meeting or an academic conference. Academics almost never agree on anything.

This is the literal destruction of knowledge. Mississippi libraries are being ordered to remove academic research on race and gender from library databases. mississippitoday.org/2025/04/08/m...

New paper alert! bc amid all the chaos this work is even more important. Here is a review that includes a list 50 existing surveys for measuring racism in schools! ✊🏽 edworkingpapers.com/ai25-1168

Anyone looking to do an APPAM panel rather than a single listing @taylorodle.bsky.social ???

What are they doing at DOE today, destroying data?

Really good interview with the past NCES commissioner (a conservative and Trump appointee) about why the loss of basic data is so concerning. hechingerreport.org/proof-points...

Fyi it's been less than 2 months since January 20 😞

New tenure-track school psych job at Montclair State! montclair.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/JobOpp... You'd be working in the same college as @wcastillophd.bsky.social!

Ways to increase the birthrate: ✅ Paid parental leave ✅ Affordable childcare ✅ Free PreK ✅ High quality public k-12 education ✅ Affordable college And if you want to go wild, copy Norway and give 2 years paid leave!

That $881 million DOGE claims it cut at the Department of Ed? Partially made up and doesn't factor in that many of the contracts, funds had already been spent. Amazing work by my colleagues @stephabaker.bsky.social Olivia Sawyer and Antoinette Flores #EduSky www.newamerica.org/education-po...

What's more patriotic than increasing literacy rates and student success so they can participate in our democracy #fundthedeptofed 👍💪#fundIES #fundData

This is what higher ed administrators are reading this weekend. Basically, anything that could be perceived as involving race could result in the loss of federal funding. It's an expansive Dear Colleague letter from ED, to be sure. www.ed.gov/media/docume...

Has anyone calculated the amount of jobs that have been impacted by all EOs I'm looking at you economist 😉🤐 @joshua-goodman.com @matthewakraft.bsky.social maybe you all know someone who has?

Stand with science. Always.

Does anyone know of any research methods or curricula for high school students?

Excited to (finally) share that we've received a grant from AAAS to work on improving our faculty data infrastructure around sexual orientation and gender identity! This is a fraught time for doing LGBTQ+ affirming work but it makes it that much more urgent. www.aaas.org/news/five-po...

This period under Musk/Trump feels like early February in 2020—when a terrible thing was happening with breakneck speed, and the people paying close attention were hair-on-fire about it while the rest of the country carried on as normal.
