LOOKING FOR PARTICIPANTS. If any of you are collegiate sport coaches, and current have or have had international student-athletes on the team, please be kind to participate in my study. THREAD

These main findings combine to suggest that racially congruent colleagues are important, with respect to decreasing turnover and influencing transfer preference, but also that teachers appear to prefer schools with at least some racial diversity

Second, I find that teachers who do decide to transfer schools are more likely to transfer to schools with a greater percentage of racially congruent colleagues than their original school. As with my turnover findings, I also show a diminishing return to this relationship

However, I extend this finding to show, with non-linear models, diminishing returns to racially congruent colleagues, in that there is no difference in effect above ~50%

First, aligning with prior work by @TravisJBristol, @rodrila1, and the most recent paper by Xu et al, I find that a 10pp increase in racially congruent colleagues decreases turnover by about 6% of a SD, with greater effects for Black teachers than White teachers

Using publicly available teacher-level data from Pennsylvania, I examine how racially congruent colleagues influence teacher turnover and transfer preferences

What Are the Side Effects of School Turnaround? A Systematic Review

I think all prospective PhD students should be told ahead of time that 75% of your emotional turmoil will be devoted to two sentences in the data/sample section of your paper

Presumably unoriginal idea but going to put it into the world again: the common app but for job market candidates

My department (@fsu_elps) is hiring an assistant or associate professor next year! I am not on the search committee but please feel free to reach out with questions about the town, department, or program. Search chair is Carolyn Herrington

The deadline for #AEFP2025 has been extended! All proposals for papers, posters, policy dialogues and flash talks must be submitted by 11:59pm PT on Monday, October 14.

It is @aefpweb proposal submission deadline day or is it? Here waiting to see whether they will give us a bit more time to submit...

I’m so grateful to everyone who has been in my life these past few years but a special thank you to @harbatkat for providing much needed advice and never letting me take the easy way out. I’m excited to see where this leads me and to meet the other grantees!
