Here's one of my best friends (who, before being illegally fired, was the data scientist at NEH) showing just how much money NEH could distribute back out to US taxpayers based on their lifetime contributions. Get ready to make it rain with thousands of pennies y'all!

Just Education Policy is coming back! We’re excited to announce that we are planning for an *in-person* Just Education Policy Institute this Fall 2025. Applications & more details will be released in early May. For more info. about the Just Education Policy Institute, visit justeducationpolicy.org.

It's that time of year to circulate this list of orgs for those seeking ed policy jobs/internships. Please let me know if there are opportunities/orgs I should add. Good luck out there! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

We're hiring an Assistant Professor of Practice and Undergraduate Program Coordinator. I'm on the search committee and am more than happy to answer questions. cfopitt.taleo.net/careersectio...

COOPER DEJEAN IS NOT A SAFETY!!

🚨I am psyched to share a new working paper from @edutuan.bsky.social & myself 🚨. We show how to estimate turnover & net-negative job loss (think ~shortages) with public data for K12 schools by county from 2000 to present, by race, ethnicity, educ attainment & gender. edworkingpapers.com/ai25-1135 🧵

FLY EAGLES FLY

Happy to share that our paper on the relationship between teacher intentions and teacher turnover behavior is now published at Education Finance and Policy. (with @edutuan.bsky.social @alexmoran.bsky.social Katharine Strunk, and Jason Burns). direct.mit.edu/edfp/article... 1/5

I actually used the complementary access provided to me by a publisher in exchange for reviewing to find an article that was not accessible through my university. Achievement unlocked?

**Update on teacher staffing challenges 24-25** It has taken a while, but @ChanhLam202 and I have updated our website teachershortages.com. We find there are at least 49,800 vacant positions and 400,000 underqual in 24-25 compared to 55,000 and 270,000 last year

Jokes on them, I’m going to use AI to come up with 8000 businesses for dipshits

Had a wonderful night with the education policy #APPAM2024 crowd. If we didn’t get a chance to connect say hi tomorrow! At 145 I’ll be a part of an awesome session on Grow Your Own teacher recruitment efforts @drdsedwards.bsky.social @joshbleiberg.bsky.social @matthewakraft.bsky.social and more!

Oh yay, this paper is finally out at AERA Open! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

There's so many familiar faces here! I feel pressure to create content 😂. Pic of the doggo is the best I can do.

Interesting research about state takeover in Central Falls that began 33 years ago. www.centralfallsri.gov/education

Pro baseball watching tip for any PA based Phillies fans. If you listen to the radio audio from mlb.tv there is not a single political ad. It syncs up pretty well with the tv broadcast. Also go phils! #redoctober

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #1,110,393!

I appreciate the opportunity to discuss the HISD state takeover and research from @bethschueler.bsky.social @mimiarnoldlyon.bsky.social and myself on ABC News. abcnews.go.com/US/houston-c...

Just unreasonably happy Claire has launched this series. I do not finish my dissertation without Gourmet Makes stress breaks. 😂 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qd0T...

Check out CBS Daily Report story mentioning work on teacher shortages and turnover by myself @MatthewAKraft @MimiArnoldLyon @edu_tuan @drdsedwards and a few others. Apologies to scholars that missed! [21:00] www.youtube.com/live/oX7sbRF...

Just an FYI for anyone new to Pittsburgh. Jordan Tax Services is the company that runs local tax collection in Pittsburgh and is not a scam. It has very strong scam energy.

Yeah!! Congratulations!

Some personal news - I'm very proud to share that I will be joining the faculty in the University of Michigan's Center for the Study of Higher and Postsecondary Education starting this summer.
