New TEA ratings show a sharp divide in Austin ISD schools—A’s west of I-35, F’s east of it.
District leaders say the scores reflect more than test results—they follow historic patterns of race, poverty, and language barriers. @cbsaustin

I'm launching the TX EDUCATION LEADERSHIP LAB to conduct relevant research to improve TX schools. WE are already studying the TX educator workforce, special ed, and the impact of vouchers.

What's the longest it's taken you to finish a research project, from idea to publication? 🤔

Can you beat 16 years? S.I.X.T.E.E.N. YEARS 😱

I love a good tale of persistence...our meta-analysis on underachievement (ironic, right? 😩) is FINALLY out!

@Brad_Carpenter Agreed!

[Matt Giani @Matt_Giani]

@UTAustin allows me to donate my accrued sick leave hours to colleagues, such as those dealing with illness or who have had a baby. Cool!

But the donated hours get treated as taxable income and would result in me losing over $1K from my paycheck.

Not cool. Not cool at all.

[Matt Giani @Matt_Giani]

Excellent opportunity to do really critical work with an amazing researcher/human being @ProfessorBahr! I strongly encourage all graduating/recent grad students in @utexascoe and especially ELP to apply!

[Peter Bahr @ProfessorBahr]

Colleagues, I am looking for 2 skilled researchers to join my team at the University of Michigan as Research Project Leads. F/T or P/T. Fully remote is a possibility. Review of apps begins July 17 and continues until filled. https://t.co/tCr0atZ5qn

[Matt Giani @Matt_Giani]

@ProfessorBahr Will do! I tried to retweet the posting but it seems like I can’t because you have a protected account? Either way, I’ll share with my network!

[Matt Giani @Matt_Giani]

I disagree with the Supreme Court's majority #affirmativeaction opinion that race-conscious admission programs "require stereotyping." Promoting the compelling interest of diversity also means diversity *within racial and ethnic groups*!

[Matt Giani @Matt_Giani]

I was pleasantly to see slides like this and hear lyrics from Juicy by Notorious BIG at the National Science Foundation’s Noyce Summit! Thank you to @Robert_Simmons3 for a thought-provoking and highly engaging presentation about STEM teachers (aka “Hope Dealers”)!

[Matt Giani @Matt_Giani]

@stats_tipton Congrats Beth, well deserved!!! I’m so fortunate to get to learn with and from you!

[Matt Giani @Matt_Giani]

Was going to check out the White House while I’m in DC but apparently it only has three reviews and 3.7 ⭐️ on Google maps.

You won't guess what Texas got everyone for Juneteenth this year...

NEW: Gov. Greg Abbott has signed the state budget, which bans the use of state funds for “unconstitutional” DEI practices and programs at all Texas public colleges and universities. #txlege
