Stunning work:
"Currently, 6.1 percent of K-12 students in the United States receive gifted education ... Under 4 percent of students in the lowest income percentile are identified as gifted, compared with 20 percent of those in the top income percentile."

Is this child ready for kindergarten? The answer depends less on whether they can count to 10, and more about whether they can focus on one task and manage emotions.

π’ #EdWorkingPapers: Analyzing RCTs of a preschool math curriculum, Tyler Watts & colleagues find that immediate impacts are strong forecasters for follow-up effects. Settings promoting more learning post-intervention also produce more fadeout as control groups catch up faster.

How did college enrollment change after SFFA v. Harvard?
Michael Bloem & coauthors find that in the first year after the 2023 Supreme Court ruling, high-achieving URM students were substantially less likely to enroll in highly selective colleges.

We provide early evidence on the impact of vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks on learning opportunities, and the schooling disruptions that the growing number of low-coverage communities could face if outbreaks continue to spread. See working paper: edworkingpapers.com/ai25-1358
"Eliminating a graduate degree wage premium for teachers led to a 27% enrollment decline in education fields alone .... This drop subsequently reduced institutional tuition revenue and related state funding." @taylorodle.bsky.social edworkingpapers.com/ai25-1364
Early learning research is clear: Young children with strong self-regulation and social-emotional skills are better equipped to learn and thrive.
Stay tuned for a new resource from EdInstruments.org that supports the measurement of βlearning-relatedβ skills that predict school success.
