Chronic absenteeism is a huge issue right now for parents and schools. This research article from Morgan Polikoff 🏳️‍🌈 Anna Rosefsky Saavedra Dan Silver provides a lot of food for thought on the challenges. We'll also have some survey data in the coming weeks to add to the picture.

Thank you Human Restoration Project for this great conversation about our recent research! today.usc.edu/controversial-…

With a new #IESfunded #NCER award, Anna Rosefsky Saavedra and colleagues CESR will evaluate Street Law's Talking About Local Current and Contested Issues in Schools that aims to prepare students for the rights and responsibilities of U.S. citizenship: ies.ed.gov/funding/grants…

Dr. Anna Saavedra, Principal Investigator from USC, emphasizes the importance of this study: “Now more than ever, schools need to be places where students are able to productively and respectfully discuss multiple perspectives about potentially contested topics."

Really exciting new report, out today from CESR and USC Rossier, with Amie Rapaport, Anna Rosefsky Saavedra, and Dan Silver. We're focusing on the UnderstandingAmerica data we have on children's mental health and its relationship with school outcomes. (PDF: cesr.usc.edu/documents/A_Na…) A thread:
