Several recent studies have examined the teacher education pipeline and the role of community colleges in that pipeline. New work by Tom Swiderski, Kevin Bastian, and @SarahCFuller1 adds to this work in NC. epic.unc.edu/wp-content/upl…

The increase in chronic absenteeism (missing 10% or more school days) across the country is concerning, and this research and reporting is important. Here is a (slightly) deep(er) dive into Michigan's numbers, using data from Michigan Dept of Ed mischooldata.org🧵

Thanks to Jamya Davis and The Fordham Institute (Fordham Institute) for this excellent review of my recently published study on Early College High Schools in North Carolina! fordhaminstitute.org/national/comme…

Hey folks, I'd be happy to take a blue sky invite code if anyone has one!

New work out by @SarahCFuller1 & I on the Brookings Brown Center Chalkboard today! "Student GPA and test score gaps are growing--and could be slowing pandemic recovery" EPIC-UNC brookings.edu/articles/stude…

This report nicely echoes a core argument we make in Off the Mark: one of the key functions of grades and tests (since to the 1840s!) has been to communicate to audiences near (eg parents) and far (eg colleges). If the communication function breaks down, you have a big problem.

From my latest work: nearly 8% of elementary and middle school students in NC were chronically absent *every year* over the first three years after pandemic onset, 3x more than pre-pandemic. epic.unc.edu/wp-content/upl…

Here's a look at NC students' total days absent over the first 3 post-pandemic years vs last 3 pre. The distribution shifted up at all points, but much more so at the top. The 95th pctile student missed 111 days of school over those 3 years, or 37/year! epic.unc.edu/wp-content/upl…

In this post, @SarahCFuller1 Kevin Bastian and I examine student attendance patterns since the onset of the pandemic. Our results show meaningful variation in the severity & duration of absenteeism across students, adding support to the call for multi-tiered policy responses.

Very excited to have been awarded an inaugural SUMI research grant! Through the work funded by this grant, we'll be learning more about the workforce skills that students are developing in high school and how those skills relate to their college & early career outcomes
