New research from Brookings shows a perception gap: While most U.S. high school students view their schools as politically balanced, many adults—especially Republicans—see a liberal bias. That disconnect may be driving education policy more than reality.

NEW from me today (link below): A new study form Missouri shows that (a) superintendents like the 4-day school week because they believe it helps retain/recruit teachers; and (b) the four-day week does not, in fact, do that

🚨 New from PRiME: Teacher turnover in Missouri hit record highs post-pandemic. While rates dropped in 2023–24, major equity gaps persist, especially for teachers of color & in high-need schools. 📉📚 Read the full report by Dr. J. Cameron Anglum 👇 🔗

@CameronAnglum & @erhinesmith study public opinion of Critical Race Theory in public ed, finding disconnects between voter & parent stances and inconsistencies between opposition to the CRT label & support for racism-related instruction @lehighedu @SLU_SOE https://t.co/SIsCNbyqrh

The new poll on political/cultural teaching in schools will generate attention. I appreciate a point made by @KevinMahnken’s coverage that I haven’t seen in social media reactions: the political slant isn’t always leftist. For example: “While 18% said their teachers had spoken

How 'woke' are schools in the US? It's tricky to measure, but new data suggests people on both sides are largely talking past each other. Coverage of our new study in @educationweek @g_ritt @CameronAnglum @heidilauren1 https://t.co/vBfPD94F5H

New publication at @EducationNext with @BrianKisida @g_ritt Jennifer Gontram @CameronAnglum @heidilauren1 and Darnell Leatherwood takes an empirical look at critical race theory using a nationally-representative sample of U.S. high schoolers.

Is 'wokeness' a serious problem in schools? In our new study, we find a substantial minority of students often hear critical race theory related claims from their teachers.

Our new research in @EducationNext surveys a national sample of HS students to shed light on the prevalence of CRT-related topics in schools, student opinions about these issues, & who influences their politics. @g_ritt @CameronAnglum @heidilauren1

New from me in the Labor Studies Journal: Spatial Explanations for Deferred Teacher Compensation: Unions and Competition for Teachers https://t.co/D367FZgYFm

Dr. Anglum, Dr. Desimone, and Dr. Hill’s article “analyzes the implementation of a blended learning middle school mathematics intervention in a large urban school district in the northeastern United States”: https://t.co/n7cHgKNSg9 @UDelaware @SLUph

Since 2019, we’ve been seeing academic terms like “CRT” and “DEI” co-opted by the current conservative movement. I studied this by fielding survey experiments to show how opposition to teaching kids about race is rooted in misinformation spread through politicizing the term.

🚨 New publication: I show that immigration raids are linked to both short-term increases in #absenteeism & long-run declines in student attendance in a CA district. Disconcerting to see how these traumatic events reverberate through a community’s schools. https://t.co/wMIjJ5Y0Re
