"Eliminating a graduate degree wage premium for teachers led to a 27% enrollment decline in education fields alone .... This drop subsequently reduced institutional tuition revenue and related state funding." @taylorodle.bsky.social edworkingpapers.com/ai25-1364
No Pay? No Way! Teacher Compensation Reforms and the Market for Graduate Degrees
Graduate degrees in education provide financial stability for many institutions, yet reformers have sought to decouple teacher pay from these credentials. Without a wage premium, educators may skip ad...

If observational ratings were going to improve aggregate teacher quality (or help us identify who our effective teachers are) they would have done so by now.
Value-added is imperfect, only available for a subset of teachers, and vastly superior to any other measure of teacher quality I'm aware of.

"teachers with higher-achieving and less disruptive students...receive systematically higher performance ratings...A policy that adjusts evaluator scores for classroom characteristics, analogous to value-added models, increases the relative ranking of Black teachers by 8 percentage points."

It's 2026 and Causal Inference is Still Difficult.
It often takes years of focused study and/or practice to truly mater its concepts.
And so we naturally reach out for simplifications and heuristics.

2025 - 11 students were shot and 2 died on a Saturday afternoon at the University I work at.
I have no solutions and I don't understand the causes. But I know that we cannot see the fear our children are taught to live with and do nothing to protect them.
What future are we building if we do?

1999 - I learned to hide under my desk if "Monsignor Selmack" was called to the office.
2008 - A student sneaking a load shotgun in during lunch was stopped by a construction worker.
2018 - Armed police cleared the school I taught at due to threats of an active shooter.

This past weekend, hundreds of students joined the many thousands of others across the country who will forever carry memories of terror and loss caused by senseless violence.
School shootings have been a constant threat in my life. If we care about our children, we cannot let this continue.

It's a policy choice that we're still experiencing mass shootings on a regular basis. It won't change until the legislators responsible for making those choices are held accountable for the deaths, injuries, and PTSD that occurs with each additional act of gun violence.
It has been 13 years since the lives of 20 children and six educators were taken in minutes by a gunman armed with a Bushmaster AR-15 rifle and high-capacity magazines at Sandy Hook School in Newtown, Connecticut. Two other people were wounded. 🧵
