It's frustrating that AI-hallucinated citations to my work don't improve my h-index.

"Who Wants to Be a Teacher in America?"

"Lower interest among men, students of color, and high-achieving students... Recommenders rate students interested in teaching as having lower intellectual promise... but greater concern for others."

NEW from @PEERResearch.bsky.social: We estimated how #highered programs measure up against the accountability standard in the reconciliation law. Overall, few programs fall short, but low-earning programs are concentrated in some schools, fields. www.american.edu/spa/peer/one...

Working on writing up a short note (and blog post) trying to explain the distinction between model-based and design-based identification.

Any questions regarding this that are burning for you?

I shared a few thoughts on the concerns I see with cuts to the Department of Education's data and research capacity, although there are also a few green shoots that are worth watching.
Months After Deep Cuts, Education Researchers See Reason for Cautious Optimism
New hiring and talk of modernization led one researcher to say, ‘I am more hopeful than I was three months ago.’

OPINION: Higher education must help shape how students learn, lead and build the skills employers want most  
For the first time in more than a decade, confidence in the nation’s colleges and universities is rising. Forty-two percent of Americans now say they have “a great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in higher education, up from 36 percent last year. It’s a welcome shift, but it’s certainly not time for institutions to take a victory lap. For years, persistent concerns about rising tuition, student debt and an uncertain job market have led many to question whether college was still worth the cost. Headlines have routinely spotlighted graduates who are underemployed, overwhelmed or unsure how to translate their degrees into careers.

But I'm not sure I've seen anyone do a general student-level analysis of flows in and out of public vs private schools (in part because our systems only observe kids once they enter public schools).

Thanks for the shoutout, Riley.

Paul - We also have recent work using MI student-level data to show that students who left public schools in Fall 2020 had low return rates if they left for private schools but higher return rates if they left for home school.

Is there any administrative data that examines transitions from public to private school and vice versa for primary and secondary students? Particularly over time?

The federally backed US research was a marvelous civilizational achievement, but it now lies in ruins. It won’t be put back together unless there’s some major systemic shift in our politics.

The Trump admin’s offer to give preferential treatment to institutions that toe the party line reeks of bribery in exchange for allegiance to a partisan ideological agenda.

This is corruption.

Adherence to ‘loyalty oaths’ would usher in a new era of thought policing in American higher education.
