So proud to share this story about Project PUEBLO at UNLV. Watching teachers transform classrooms for multilingual students has been amazing.

State school finance reforms designed to close funding gaps between high- and low-income districts did not reduce racial and ethnic funding inequities and in some cases increased them, according to new research published in Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis. www.aera.net/Newsroom/Sta...

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...

Post LAST sentence of LAST article:

"In general, expanded financial investment in high-quality, affordable early care & education (ECE) that meets the needs of children & families from diverse backgrounds is essential to breaking down systemic barriers to equitable ECE access."

Hot off the press! Colleagues & I conducted a nationwide multidimensional examination of early care & education access, revealing 3/4 of ECE centers were characterized by meeting 0 dimensions of access, suggesting a critical need for policy action to expand families' access. tinyurl.com/yzhr66xz

It was great to be a part of today's conversation with @SenCortezMasto regarding her bill, Reaching English Learners Act, aiming to better fund teacher preparation programs focusing on emergent bilinguals.

Interesting stats regarding Europeans' views of multilingualism. Wonder how we compare in the US 🤔

Wonderful sharing our team's work, which highlighted elementary and secondary teachers' shifts toward a translanguaging-as-resource orientation in their conceptualizations of translanguaging, self-efficacy, and current practices . #AERA2024 @AERA_BerSig

Just found this relic hidden in an old resume portfolio. My name tag when I first interviewed to become a teacher in the Bronx as a NYC teaching fellow in 2006. 🥹 some of the best years #nycteachingfellow

Co-presented our study “Monolingual & multilingual in-service teachers’ conceptualization of translanguaging pedagogy in a teacher preparation program” at #AAAL2024 with the fab @DrSab_Sembiante
November 19, 2024 at 1:48 PM
Excited our mixed-method study on translanguaging beliefs and practices in English-medium settings was accepted to #aera24! This study uniquely captures the perspectives of educators across grades and in varying content areas.

A true pleasure discussing & learning from teachers and fellow advocates of multilingual students on ways we could/should make students’ home languages more visible in policies & instruction, moving away from a monolingual/English-only lens. #nvedsummit23

Exciting 2 see #ProjectPUEBLO highlighted: @UNLVCoE's #ELL master's program focuses on importance of policy, advocacy, & leveraging emergent bilinguals' home languages ~300 #CCSD teachers will receive their ELAD endorsement to better support bilinguals

In day 2 of the inaugural PUEBLO mini-conference, teacher leaders presented on ways they intend to advocate, shape policy, and build school capacity in the efforts to better support emergent bilinguals.

In day 1 of the inaugural PUEBLO mini-conference, teacher leaders presented on ways they intend to advocate, shape policy, and build school capacity in the efforts to better support emergent bilinguals. Only 1/4 of our graduating first cohort is pictured. So proud of this group.
