That's a wrap! Thank you to everyone who joined us in Arlington today for the 2023 CALDER Conference. If you were unable to attend, stay tuned for recordings from each panel. #CALDER2023

One more thought about school closures. In some cases, this means that teachers will be bumped by seniority. There's lots of good work by, e.g., @MatthewAKraft @loeb_susanna @RoddyTheobald, @KatharineStrunk @nate_brown12 @dsknight84 showing this ISN'T the way to handle layoffs.

New working paper! With @DrMikeHansen, we extend our research on Teach For America (TFA) to examine outcomes beyond effects on short-run test scores, including test and nontest outcomes in the year following TFA exposure. From @caldercenter: https://t.co/oerNBUgQDc

Holy cow! 500 people is a lot of people (at least by my webinar standards).

Can't wait.

[Dan Goldhaber @CEDR_US]

He's on 🔥! This is an important paper on an important topic, substitute teachers.

@edu_tuan @ElliTheobald @MASchoolsK12 @waOSPI @CEDR_US @nate_brown12 @paul_bruno @MatthewAKraft @JoshBleiberg @ch_redding @gthenry4 @drminsun @dsknight84 @chriscandel Generic data lead to generic solutions, and staffing challenges are greater in some subject areas (e.g., special education) and schools (e.g., rural and minoritized). The more we can disaggregate staffing needs, as we do this paper, the more targeted the solutions we can propose.

[James Cowan @jecowan]

Excited to release a new working paper, "Teachers and school climate: Effects on student outcomes and academic disparities", joint with @brbackes, @cedr_us, and @RoddyTheobald.

[Tuan D. Nguyen, @edutuan.bsky.social @edu_tuan]

It is not the case that we have vacant positions in every district and in every school and equally for all subjects, so we should prioritize areas of greatest needs.

[Tuan D. Nguyen, @edutuan.bsky.social @edu_tuan]

We should make targeted policy decisions to meet current demands, esp at econ disadv schools, rural schools, and majority minority schools as well as for STEM, special ed, and bilingual ed teachers.

Teacher turnover = the number of teachers who worked in a given school/district/state but did not return the following year.
Teacher turnover ≠ vacancies, intent to leave surveys, retirements, measures of stress, vague claims from district or union officials

[NCTQ @NCTQ]

Student teaching is one of the most important aspects of an educator’s preparation. A @caldercenter study suggests that some mentor teachers set low expectations, which give student teachers a false sense of readiness for the classroom.

There is a whole lot about student teaching that we could be more intentional about. What else is low hanging fruit and impediments to change we aren't focusing on enough?

[Dan Goldhaber @CEDR_US]

The Effect arrived today! @nickchk, it's bigger in real life!

Really cool to see this in print.

Yes, the U.S. is an outlier among high-income countries. And this UNESCO map understates the difference between the U.S. and some peer nations, because all countries closed for 41+ weeks are dark blue.

U.S.: 71 weeks
Canada: 51 weeks
Australia: 44 weeks
