Constance posits that the field of ed policy research has critical shortcomings with regard to the study of racialized differences in student outcomes in her talk about rethinking education policy research in service of improving Black student outcomes.

Starting now... our #SDPconvening plenary session on early warning systems moderated by Todd Feathers, featuring panelists: Cory Koedel from Mizzou; Dr. Robert Balfanz from Everyone Graduates @JHUEducation; student reps from Cudahy Schools

#SDPconvening kicks off with a welcome from SDP Sr. Director Miriam Greenberg

In the US, well-resourced universities and lucrative fields of study are often only accessible to the highest-testing high school students. Zachary Bleemer discusses the surprising long-run effects of opening up those schools and programs to relatively lower-testing students.

School libraries have become ground zero for culture war conflicts in public schools. Kirsten Slungaard Mumma collected data from over 6,000 public school library collections to examine whether the books on library shelves reflect local partisan preferences.

The 2024 #SDPconvening begins tomorrow! Follow along for live updates throughout the rest of the week.
