Our @caldercenter research brief with @CEDR_US and @ahkatz5 on special education identification during the pandemic is now published in EEPA! We show that, after an initial dip, identification rates have now "caught up" with pre-pandemic norms: https://t.co/RIP6z8THu3

State leaders, this is what connected teacher supply data looks like. Without these connections, you're making teacher workforce policy decisions based on incomplete information (or worse, anecdotes). @caldercenter @CEDR_US @hjputman @clj1177 @DeArmondMM just put out a brief

@EdDataCampaign, I think you might be interested in the supply brief as it seems a great way for states to leverage their SLDSs!
