New policy brief w/ @LeviTTU & @AngelaCrevar. Our study examines the effect of implementing the P-TECH school model on student outcomes such as higher ed credential attainment prior to high school graduation & postgraduate employment in high-demand jobs. https://t.co/1Za37ruCbU
New brief out w/ @AngelaCrevar on community college baccalaureate programs. We show that these programs increase 1) the # of degrees earned by students, 2) chances students attend any form of higher ed, & 3) growth in the # of high-demand degrees earned. https://t.co/6s6CRSlLQx

(2/6) LaFortune @ppicNotes, @rothstein_jesse and @dwschanz study showed net gains of 0.12-0.24 standard deviations in student achievement per $1,000 per pupil per year. Gains were sustained for 10 years showing that adequacy funding does help raise student achievement.
(1/6) Big bang for the education buck! Significantly improved student achievement for students from low income districts results when spending is increased as shown in a 2019 event study. #DrJasmineParker#TTUEconofEdu21
(6/6) Policy makers take note- constituents want to know their tax $ is put to good use. Show how money matters to improve achievement with more evidence from @KiraboJackson D. Kreisman & M. Steinberg, especially for students of color and for those from low-income districts.
