Curriculum and teacher preparation. At that funny place between horror and hope. Views are my own.
Solid mentorship: a smart thing to do for emerging scholars and to guide scholars to do as they enter the job market. that said, check these folks out!📯
Here's my thread of this year's new scholars in Economics of Education and Education Policy.

These PhD students and postdocs are on the job market, so take a look (and spread the word to others who might benefit from exposure).

And now onto the scholars... 👇

👋 I'm Danielle, and I'm on the #econjobmarket this year!

Let's start with a student describing her segregated school:

"The school felt temporary. Built like a warehouse with aluminum siding . . . I had a slipshod education"

The twist? The student is white, and her school is private.

Every state is purple.
Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

A fence post at New York’s Bowling Green still showing the rough saw marks where, in July 1776, colonists cut off the crowns that used to adorn the tops.

Colonists also pulled down a statute of King George III that once stood where the fountain is today.

I regret to confirm, waking up early before your household is often really really productive and mind-clearing. Woke up early (before 5!) and decided to just get to the things on my mind that had me up before 5. Did well for my checklist :).

we should all go out on October 18 and it's good that so many of us are planning to. but we should all start talking to each other about what we're going to do next, too - what we will withhold together if the abuses continue. we can go on offense, too!

The fact that these conditions are made increasingly unsurvivable for so many, is actually the point.

The Virginia Senate just told UVA it’s not getting state funding if it accepts the compact since UVA exists to serve Virginia, its residents, & their interests—not be a tool of the federal govt.

“When I face the desolate impossibility of writing five hundred pages, a sick sense of failure falls on me, and I know I can never do it. Then gradually, I write one page and then another. One day's work is all I can permit myself to contemplate.”

Year 2 of this "tradition": writing down one small good thing before I leave the classroom.

You see what you look for, right?

(So much to choose from today, too! 🙏)

Reviewing this disinformation filled document was a colossal effort! See link in thread to sign up to receive the comment and press package.
Our comment on the DOE CWG report is done. It tips the scales at 439 pages, approx. 3x longer than the DOE report.
This is related to Brandolini's law: The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.

Example: refuting one sentence.

Super exciting paper showing that high schools vary in their impacts on civic engagement. Schools that are better at improving academic outcomes are also better at creating voters.

Kirsten was a @wheelockpolicybu.bsky.social postdoc when she began this work, so it's thrilling to see the result.

A tiny gift I have given myself as a scurrying academic is remembering to add “transition” time to my calendar between tasks. So, if I have something at 3:15, I have “Transition to [thing]” in my schedule at the time I need to begin to make the mental switch for that thing.
