🔔 Our new working paper is out at EdWorkingPapers!

Using our unique, self-collected longitudinal data on CS policies, we examined their impact on postsecondary CS participation.

If you’re curious about the details of our work, please check it out here👇 (@paul-bruno.com shared a cool summary!)

From my experience, presenting to the Quantitative Working Group in my department is a great opportunity to practice sharing your work and to receive constructive feedback from faculty and peers. I highly recommend taking advantage of it!

Paul Bruno @paul-bruno.com · 8d

For grad students or postdocs out there: let me know if you'd like to present in my department's (Ed Policy, Org, & Leadership) Quantitative Working Group meeting Wednesday of next week (October 8) at 3pm Central time. Work at any stage is fine, it's very informal. I have a presenter gap this month.

Above all, I greatly appreciate the opportunity to think through this issue. While I haven't yet used wage adjustments in my work, I plan to incorporate them into my ongoing research on school finance. Thus, this discussion has been very helpful. Thank you so much, @carajackson.bsky.social!

One initial thought I've had is to use average data from previous years (similar to @cmsaldana.bsky.social ’s response). Also checking state-level data from state websites and exploring if they can be standardized for comparisons comes to mind, though availability and feasibility remain uncertain!

A study by Jennifer Nelson and @paul-bruno.com looked at hiring practices in Los Angeles schools. They found that despite a standardized screening system to find teachers, principals often use hiring strategies outside the system to find new candidates.

Please let us know if you’re interested in joining our AERA symposium submission below!👇 Our paper is about the impact of computer science (CS) education policies.

Paul Bruno @paul-bruno.com · Jun 4

Let me know if you have any interesting in participating in symposium submission to AERA this cycle. Our team has a paper on nationwide computer science education policies and their effects, which could go in multiple thematic directions (CSed, teacher production, undergrad major choice, etc).

🚨If you're curious about who teaches computer science (CS) in high school, check out my advisor @paul-bruno.com's recent paper! It shows cool findings on the relationship between CS teachers' backgrounds and student outcomes.
