Even with free higher education, barriers persist. A new study finds that career guidance using role model videos and info can reduce inequality in university expectations and actual university applications. #EquityEdu #edchat #edpolicy https://t.co/BG1oJO5gTB

New evidence on workforce training in community colleges reveals earnings gains averaging ~$2,000 per year within two years, but gains vary by program field, length, and type. Research like this is needed to guide the implementation of Workforce Pell.

📢 New paper alert! Before the backlash, many districts passed equity & anti-racism policies. But what was actually in them? Green et al. analyzed 100+ policies & resolutions—and what they found might surprise you. Read the new study here. @terrancelgreen https://t.co/edNmrBqUjR

New brief by @RoddyTheobald, @cedr_us, & @ahkatz5 documents special education identification rates in Washington since the pandemic. After a sharp initial decline, identification rates recovered dramatically in following years & now exceed historical norms https://t.co/3bssrkHasT

Principal turnover has spiked in recent years, impacting school district budgets. A new study puts these changes in broader context, drawing on statewide longitudinal data systems in TX and WA. @dsknight84 @drminsun P. Almasi @chriscandel J. Shin @drdematt https://t.co/OdSMuNT5Mt

New study finds suggestive evidence that 1:1 online math tutoring was more effective than 3:1 tutoring. Larger student-tutor ratios presented challenges for personalizing instruction, developing relationships, fostering participation, & managing behavior. https://t.co/qm3XmFMvBE

A recent study finds that most student-teacher matching research overlooks language. Hispanic students see the greatest gains when paired with Hispanic teachers holding bilingual certification. https://t.co/7BoP6nJu6q

In this study, @jeremylsinger and @sarahlenhoff collected detailed data on Detroit’s fragmented school bus system. Kindergarteners were more likely to choose schools where they had access to a school bus. https://t.co/Hdr9ZtlRI2

Sharing research with courts can help them better contextualize the issues before them. In education cases involving communities with a long history of exclusion, it requires strategic sharing that recognizes oppression but speaks to the courts’ interests. https://t.co/xia96iXdNB

Progressive school finance reforms made school funding more equal by income, but less equal by race/ethnicity. This is b/c funding inequality by race/ethnicity is mostly between, not within, states. We need the DOE! #edpolicy @rauscher_emily & Jeremy Fiel https://t.co/8F3k42l1oT

Principals assign less effective teachers to second grade. Is second grade a zone of instructional development? #ProfessionalDevelopment #edpolicy #SuptChat #edresearch #openaccess @UNCSchoolofEd @NCStateCED https://t.co/9SC9CXvxeG

The July 2025 budget reconciliation bill limits #studentloans and expands the #PellGrant. These programs, however, are connected: a small Pell grant can reduce borrowing such that students face financial constraints with implications for #StudentSuccess. https://t.co/maRDlKkWuO

Can science of reading initiatives work at scale? @Snovicoff and @ProfTDee from @StanfordEd show that science of reading training, paired with flexible funding ($1,000/student) with guardrails, improved academic achievement in CA post-pandemic. https://t.co/n4upnBkuj5

When students share race or ethnicity with their teacher, they are about 5 percent less likely to be referred for special education evaluation. A statewide study in Massachusetts sheds new light on teacher diversity and referral patterns. https://t.co/OcFydJ81el

What does equity really mean? In a new paper, Meghan Comstock explores how professional learning partnerships between districts and external organizations negotiate and operationalize equity in their reforms. @meghan_com @UMDCollegeofEd #Equity #edpolicy https://t.co/RK5nPc0tx0

Researchers studied the first wave of Massachusetts teachers who entered the workforce with COVID-era reduced licensure requirements & how they compared to traditionally licensed peers in terms of effectiveness and turnover. @BUWheelock @wheelock_policy

Scholars found that language that indicates race/racism in student loan news articles has risen since 2018. The terms used typically refer to groups of people (ex: “Black”) instead of structural issues (“racism”), which can shape discourse on student loans https://t.co/C3F8HdwwQW

A study in EEPA found that focusing on principal behaviors instead of student achievement in principal evaluations is crucial for enhancing school accountability with racial equity. #principalevaluation #equity #BlackandHispanicstudents @hku_education https://t.co/WZQerhYecr

Traditional campus climate assessments fall short—they often center white experience & ignore structural racism. @DrUJayakumar calls for structural competency: a framework that prioritizes BIPOC students’ well-being by addressing systemic roots of harm. #EquityMatters #DEI
