Hey doctoral students! Has the optimism with which you started graduate school turned to frustration? That's sadly common but needn't be. Join us online tomorrow and I'll share my frank advice. I promise to not speak for more than 20 minutes before open discussion! @aefpweb.bsky.social

I just walked by the new @stanfordgse.bsky.social building and saw the iconic red roof going into place! I'm also impressed by these workers standing on a pitched roof while casually playing pitch & catch with these heavy tiles.

Journalists, can someone please FOIL this (and the other grant cuts), please? Name, title, amount, recipient, full text of grant. I - and I suspect many of my colleagues - will be very happy to help you analyze large volumes of text data very quickly.

This team was Howie Roseman's masterpiece. The most loaded Eagles team of my lifetime in terms of pure talent. Roseman has now built two championship teams with two different quarterbacks and two different head coaches. Looking like a HOF resume.

Today's NAEP results—& the apparent role of chronic absenteeism—are unsurprising to any close observer What's curious to me is this evidence-based sense of calamity doesn't really shape broader public sentiment. In fact, satisfaction is rebounding!👇 Is it crisis fatigue? Biases in info & judgment?

“The Gulf of America” thing is so stupid, it’s strangely comforting to me. I can’t really explain it. Maybe it’s that even if I end up being executed for the crime of virtue signaling I will have lived my life never, even at my stupidest, having been that dumb

Amazing to see city after city paper issue reports about how crime and homicides fell in 2024 - Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, New Orleans, Columbus, Memphis, Philadelphia.

SFUSD's math coursetaking reforms that delayed algebra led to fewer students taking AP calculus (driven by AAPI students), but these effects grew smaller over time. Coursetaking equity in the district did not improve. @tomdee.bsky.social @snovicoff.bsky.social journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.3...

Interesting dive into the stunning, latest math assessments. This heterogeneity in the US math score declines (e.g., by gender, grade, achievement level) doesn't easily comport with dismissive narratives that suggest it's simply a post-pandemic decline in test effort.

I appreciate this cogent summary of our study of the Algebra I Initiative (i.e., targeted acceleration + supports for instructional differentiation). And I share concerns that a replication and scale-up are not necessarily straightforward. #EduSky But... fordhaminstitute.org/national/com...

College-admissions data like these often feed a "calculus vs. data science" debate about HS math. However, I encourage you to approach that potentially healthy debate cautiously. The definition of data science is contested & it sometimes embeds large but tacit declines in academic standards #EduSky

I have an op-ed in the NYT today about how to reduce crime. The key idea, based on decades of strong research evidence: focus on increasing the probability of getting caught, not the punishment. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/07/o...

Public-school enrollment data for the 2023-24 school year are now available! I charted the trend to underscore that the most salient point isn't the slight one-year drop. It's that the pandemic exodus from public schools is enduring. #EduSky #EconSky datawrapper.dwcdn.net/FkhHb/1/

I suspect this is an unappreciated part of our academic-recovery failures: Learning math is one of the shockingly few areas where #EdTech has shown efficacy. It can be low-cost, scalable, & targets where learning loss is greatest. Yet, I don't have a sense it's a prominent part of recovery plans.
