Heading to @aefpweb.bsky.social this week? So am I! Here are a few of the sessions that I'm particularly excited about, and you might be too.

Starting out strong on Thursday with two great (and complementary) sessions focusing on teacher licensure & supply.

Hey doctoral students! Has the optimism with which you started graduate school turned to frustration? That's sadly common but needn't be.

Join us online tomorrow and I'll share my frank advice. I promise to not speak for more than 20 minutes before open discussion!

As an early career ed policy researcher, PLEASE randomly distribute the funds

Carly Sitrin @carlysitrin.bsky.social · Feb 24

Dispatch from PA Department of Education budget hearing: Referencing the overwhelming demand and "insufficient" supply in $ for student-teacher stipends, Acting Ed Secretary Carrie Rowe says "we created something akin to a student teacher stipend Hunger Games."

Background via @penncapital-star.com

Demand for student-teacher stipends far exceeds $10M allocation • Pennsylvania Capital-Star

More than 3,500 applications were received for a state-funded stipend to cover an otherwise unpaid semester of student teaching.
