I’ll be at SREE in Chicago this week if anyone wants to connect!!

I made some cookies for my colleagues…the theme was “mildly triggering”

You might be wondering “how exactly has Leigh been dissociating from reality lately?”. Whelp…

psycnet.apa.org/buy/2026-417... I’m thrilled to share a new paper where we find that instructional quality mediates associations between teachers’ and students math emotions!

I’m very excited to be part of two great symposia at #SREE in Chicago this September!!

I guess chat gpt is good for some things

New paper coming out soon! Do you think instructional quality mediates the associations between teacher math anxiety and student outcomes? I bet you’ll never guess the answer!!

“She won’t even know I’m here”

So very happy to learn my recent paper on teachers’ content area enjoyment was selected as an Editor’s Choice paper at School Psychology! psycnet.apa.org/record/2024-...

“But mom…why are these guys so worried about who let their dogs out?? And if they’re so worried why are they spending so much time singing about it instead of looking for the dogs?” Love morning car tunes and conversations with my 4yo

When times get tough just remember, you can do hard things. Like wrangling snapping turtles. Turns out that’s pretty hard.

Just got off a call with an NPR radio host and our final words to each other were “ok thanks so much, hope you still have your job next week!” 🫠

“It found 90% of respondents think federal investment in STEM education is important for future economic prosperity, and the majority of respondents from both parties are concerned about policy changes that might make it harder for the U.S. to attract and retain top scientists.”

📢 Today I was supposed to be in DC, highlighting what the NSF Social, Behavioral, & Economic Sciences delivers to US taxpayers. NSF had one of the highest returns on investment (ROIs) of federal grantors 👏🏻 (1) and NSF SBE funded 63% of US social and psychological science research (2). 🧵

My dear health equity peers, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is doubling down on their DEI efforts. 💪🏽 Here’s a grant opportunity tinyurl.com/3pnxhy2d with a rapid response option those whose “health equity research projects have lost federal funding.” ⭐️ Please share ⭐️

On repeat for infinity

Working on this slide for my NSF funded PD project for elementary math teachers as this all hits the fan. Kind of poetic I guess.

If you’re at #aera2025 come check out “exploring well-being in teachers from an international perspective” at 3:35pm today in the Bluebird Ballroom! I’ll be talking about U.S. teacher burnout and instructional decisions!

Switched from Google Drive to OneDrive in the fall and gave it an honest 6 months. I can now very confidently say “f@$! that”. Switching back.

Really excited to see this new research on Pre-K teachers from RAND's new American Pre-K Teacher Survey: www.rand.org/pubs/researc.... This is such an understudied area of the teacher labor market, and the existence of this survey panel could lead to more exciting work in the future!

Someday, maybe I'll find the time to write this up in article format. #databs cghlewis.com/talk/sssp_ecf/

I’m love love loving our new lab logo!!!

Has anyone gotten updates on an in-review NSF DRK-12? Decline or questions or portal date change?

I’m serving as VP of my neighborhood’s community board this year and BOY ARE MY SKILLS AS AN ACADEMIC TRANSFERRABLE.

Just got a message from my 4yo’s preschool teacher asking parents to discourage the use of the phrase “man boobs” among kids, because apparently they’ve started saying it regularly 🤣

Oh yep this week can go f$&@ itself.

I can confirm that every person in the Department of Education who worked on IPEDS received a notification this week that they were going to be fired. All of them. Private contractors do some of the work on IPEDS, but it won't function without staff in ED.

Hey! Come talk to me about teacher burnout!! @aefpweb.bsky.social poster session going until 1:30pm

I cannot say enough what a great resource I think this will be to anyone interested in learning about key education issues and what research has to say about them.

Check out this quick feature on my recent work with @natejones.bsky.social on teachers’ emotional expressions! www.cehd.udel.edu/research-spo...

Watched a student walk face-first into a stop sign on campus today. He shook it off, straightened up, flipped off the sign, and kept walking. He wasn’t with anyone, he did that just for himself 😆 🖕

I was on an IES 305A review panel this year and got this today following up on the cancellation of panels last week. I’m taking this to mean panels will not be rescheduled at all and that 305A awards likely won’t be made. I reviewed some critically important proposals. This is truly awful.

Thanks for the swag @edutopia.org !! I hope to write for you again soon!!

"They have unwittingly canceled some of the best education research out there, along with major national surveys and tests that are crucial to tracking America’s educational performance."

Two years ago I wrote a 3 part blog post on Data Cleaning for Data Sharing for #LoveDataWeek that I think is still relevant for #LoveData25. 1. cghlewis.com/blog/data_cl... 2. cghlewis.com/blog/data_cl... 3. cghlewis.com/blog/data_cl... #rstats #databs #edusky

Well what do you know? The Regime has just admitted that they must in fact follow a judge’s court order and release NIH funds to grantees. Thanks to @pinktweets.bsky.social for alerting me. popular.info/p/breaking-n...

🚨New pub alert!!! @natejones.bsky.social and I found that when teachers express more negative emotions, students are less engaged in math and ELA, and enjoy ELA less. And we offer a new measure for observing teacher affect!! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Me too

So very happy to share this paper with the world soon 👏 👏

I’m on here full time now after leaving The Bad Place and looking forward to contributing to the community!!

A bill has officially been introduced to eliminate the Department of Education www.congress.gov/bill/118th-c...

This is terrifying.

I’m an NSF panel reviewer that was scheduled to meet today. Just got notice that all NSF panels were canceled today. I reviewed some innovative proposals in support of students. Devastating if these scholars don’t get to do this work. For the love of science & students I hope this is just a delay.💔

🚨New Pub Alert!! @DrCathyCorbin and I found via class observations that when elem. teachers are more burnt out, they spend less time in science in general, less time in small groups, and more time having students work independently. kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F...
