Few people whose work I enjoyed reading and teaching more than Sandy’s. What a loss.

Attention! This is a great opportunity to get funding to go to what I think is the best of the ed conferences!

📢 #EdWorkingPapers: Shorter school weeks are sometimes pitched as a way to keep staff, but in Oregon, they led to higher teacher turnover, while non-teaching staff retention barely shifted. 🔍 Authors: @a_j_ainsworth, @EmilyKPenner, & @Yujia_Liu_20 📄 bit.ly/3Uba9Mi

People should read PARC v. Commonwealth of Education (1972) and Mills v. Board of Education (1972) to understand the stakes.

Just talked to some #UCI anteaters who’ve been bussed up from campus to my neighborhood polling location. One was in line since 2:30 PM!?! It should not be this hard for college students to vote.

Thank you anteaters!! #zotzotzot

Heads up, suburban and rural district leaders: Another study suggests that four-day school weeks might not be the right move if you want to retain teachers. In fact, it’s likely to backfire! Researchers @a_j_ainsworth @EmilyKPenner @Yujia_Liu_20 found that suburban and rural schools that adopted the shorter week saw higher rates of teacher turnover. They didn’t see the same effect for other school staff. Here’s the kicker: They found that the initial increase in teacher turnover after adopting a four-day school week was driven by new teachers (1-5 years of experience) AND more experienced teachers (15+ years of experience). Aside from losing more experienced teachers, that’s troubling for districts trying to diversify their teacher workforce, since teachers of color tend to be newer in their careers. Give the paper a read: edworkingpapers.com/sites/de… P.S. These findings are consistent with those of a different study we reviewed last year at @NCTQ (except this one only examined one district’s shift). More importantly, this second study found that student performance declined in math and reading after switching to a shorter week. nctq.org/blog/Think-a-four--…

In which Bernanke, Boskin, Furman, Heckman, Hubbard, Stiglitz & over 100 other CEA alums (including yours truly) agree that support for the Current Population Survey is vital. Policymakers need good data to understand the economy and make good policy! friendsofbls.org/updates/202…
