In honor of New Years, I'm counting down my 12 scholarly products released in the past 2 years, usually w/ help from colleagues & students, oldest to newest. 1st up is our finding that more education freedom is correlated with higher NAEP score gains. dx.doi.org/10.1080/15582159.…

Incredible, authoritative work showing the achievement gap and which schools perform best, always, it seems. Congratulations, Patrick.

Our pioneering study of the 75/25 achievement gap on the NAEP is posted by @Kennedy_School! The gap has grown over the past 20 years in traditional public schools and Catholic schools, mainly due to declines for low performers, but has not declined meaningfully for #CharterSchools and DoD schools. @mistygallo2 @MichaelPetrilli @hpatrinos @ua_edreform hks.harvard.edu/sites/defaul…

Great piece by @ua_edreform alum @annaegalite on stealthy 4-day school weeks: "A calendar that repeatedly shuts out students from school on ordinary weekdays is not just an administrative decision. It is education policy, family policy, and labor-market policy, and it hasn’t been given the opportunity for public input that it merits." educationnext.org/the-quiet-…

Fascinating polling results from @edchoice show that the top reason parents change their child's school is bullying. #SchoolChoice @colynritter24 @pauldiperna @alexanderrusso @KevinMahnken

That tracks with our working paper on the factors that predict higher enrollment in private school choice programs. A state's public school bullying rate is the strongest and most consistent predictor of higher enrollments. @mistygallo2 @colynritter24 edchoice.org/research/if-you…

This story perfectly captures what we see in the data on the competitive effect of #SchoolChoice on public school performance, as the WV Board of Ed President states: “Our 55 county superintendents and boards need to understand that we are one of the school choice options. We need to make our option more accommodating to parents and children.” @DeAngelisCorey readlion.com/school-choice-i…

The nonprofit @edchoice is hiring a Policy and Advocacy Director to join its team working to expand parental choice. The crucial requirements: a bachelor's degree, outstanding communication skills, knowledge of the legislative process, a passion for #SchoolChoice, willingness to travel. Posting 👇

Here's my idea. The @Twins should hold a random lottery and pick "one lucky fan" to be our starting pitcher tonight. I bet that would boost attendance!

A great summary of the @edchoice summary of recent developments in #schoolchoice across the US. New states are joining the FTCS program so fast it's hard to keep up (I'm looking at you NC)! @RobertEnlow @MQ_McShane @AlexanderWolf6 @colynritter24 @pauldiperna zeale.co/news/articles/how-i…

“Rather than creating unnecessary administrative burdens that would squelch private schools' efficacy, we should direct our efforts toward increasing the supply and capacity of schools of choice to serve children from all backgrounds.”

Love this @FreeSpeech post, quoting former Harvard President Drew Faust: “Silencing ideas or basking in intellectual orthodoxy independent of facts and evidence impedes our access to new and better ideas, and it inhibits a full and considered rejection of bad ones." open.substack.com/pub/thecod…
