We found:
🔎 Measures produced different time-use estimates
📊 Classrooms were classified into different profiles
📈 Associations with children’s gains were measure-sensitive

Time use is actionable, but not measurement-neutral. We need stronger measurement foundations to inform policy and practice.

When time is relative: Pre-K classroom time use is measure sensitive Time use measures are used to characterize children’s instructional experiences in pre-kindergarten (Pre-K). Although time use is an actionable aspect…

How much time do Pre-K students spend learning different things? TLDR: It depends on how you measure it.

With @weilanch.bsky.social, Meghan McCormick, and Catherine Snow, we compared two classroom time-use instruments using the same classroom videos.

5/5 Bottom line: extreme heat is undermining teacher productivity and reshaping learning in ways we’ve totally missed. As heat waves become more common, schools with older workforces or weak cooling systems will be especially vulnerable. Climate change is already affecting American teachers.

Stable, Quality Child Care Is the Backbone of a Thriving Economy: Evidence on the Benefits of the District of Columbia's Early Childhood Educator Pay Equity Fund

Evidence shows that stable, quality #childcare is the backbone of a thriving #economy. Urban researchers provide more insights based on #DC’s Early Childhood Educator Pay Equity Fund in a new testimony.

Several months in, the devastating repercussions at research organizations from abrupt contract and grant cancellations continue apace. There are fewer public announcements now, but several larger firms have laid off a third or more of their employees and small businesses have been even harder hit.

So concerned about the effects of this bill for TX.

This framing is all wrong

Our international students are not a “crucial funding source”

They are our STUDENTS

They are the reason we EXIST

We teach STUDENTS

Using data from Michigan, we find that third grade retention for struggling readers may be a much less important component of the benefits of literacy reforms than previously understood.

According to a 2021 report, the University of California system:

• generated $82B in economic activity in California

• supported 529K jobs in the state

• generated $21 in economic output for every $1 received

Public divestment from higher ed makes no sense, even in the narrowest economic terms.

New Mexico made childcare free. It lifted 120,000 people above the poverty line The state, which has long ranked worst in the US for child wellbeing, became the first and only in the country to offer free childcare to a majority of families

New Mexico made childcare free for most families, lifting 120,000 people out of poverty and cutting poverty among providers nearly in half.

Funded by oil/gas revenue, it’s a generational investment in kids, parents, and the economy. buff.ly/mKg3Ywj

U.S. scientists’ lives and careers are being upended. Here are five of their stories As the second Trump administration sends U.S. science into upheaval, countless researchers are fighting for their futures

I am extremely pleased to share this feature articulating why I have lost my sanity lately. www.science.org/content/arti...

Once again begging media reports to get the math right. For example, cutting a $5M five-year grant in year 4 isn't saving $1M, but it is wasting the $4M already spent. Stop letting this administration get away with so many lies.

Dear Social Scientists,

Just a reminder: Amidst attacks on the social sciences & higher ed, now is a very good time to be posting here &/or elsewhere abt your latest research, topics in the news that hit on your expertise, or both.

If you believe your field has public value, show it.

NAGB just voted (reluctantly) to kill several NAEP exams over the next 10 yrs. Cuts: 1) No Long-Term Trend NAEP at all until 2033. 2) No 4th grade science in 2028 and no 12th grade science in 2032. 3) Writing scrapped altogether. 4) No 12th grade history in 2030 (1/3)

Immigrant women make up 20% of early educators — and with an even higher numbers in cities like New York and Los Angeles — and are just as vital in long-term care, making up nearly a third of home care workers and 21% of nursing home workers.
