Did you know that one in five students in the higher education system is a student parent?

How do you build a more effective, diverse school leaders? First you need to know who’s in the pipeline. Easier said than done…

We look at barriers to (and possibilities for) districts’ use of human resources data to recruit, hire, and develop school leaders. ⬇️
Everyone loves to debate the lowest hanging fruit in school improvement. It's this: building coherent district data systems. (Especially now in the era of declining investment in fed and SLDS!)

We wrote a fun commentary discussing this issue within the context of developing effective principals.

In this commentary, we discuss common barriers districts face in implementing and using talent analytics (personnel data systems) to build a more effective, diverse pool of school leaders. Our discuss...

If you have research dependent on these data here is my suggestion
1/N

Big picture:

Create a dataset of cell means (cells must be big enough to pass disclosure)

- load these cell means into many, many tables & put through review

-These cell means can then be used in OLS - which runs on means
Research with restricted-use data is more precise, powerful, and relevant. Faculty and staff will be working through the weekend to answer important research questions before we no longer can. This is not normal, necessary, or efficient.
AERA has just learned that all restricted-use NCES data licenses will be cancelled, possibly as early as March 20. We urgently request that all AERA members and others in the research community with restricted-use licenses take these two actions: www.aera.net/Research-Pol...

Now published in Race, Ethnicity, and Education: one of my dissertation chapters examining how urban students are constructed in school choice research and political discourse. I pay specific attention to how these students are quantified and homogenized.
