{new} Everyone's talking about the continued academic achievement declines among 13-year-olds. Those are bad!
But don't lose sight of the more promising results for 9-year-olds. They made sizable gains, especially the lowest-performing students.

Just to highlight this: Nine-year-old boys averaged their highest-ever score on NAEP's long-term reading exam in 2025 (though not significantly higher than in 2020); nine-year-old girls are still stuck below their pre-COVID average

By 2025, 9-year-old boys had returned to their pre-COVID scores in both math and reading. Girls, who fell by about the same amount, are still behind their circa-2020 achievement. Odd

@skominers (co-author on paper) describes a more complex but better alternative: Eigengrades! OK, I get it eigengrades sound complex, but conceptually it's pretty simple idea to grasp. You'll have to listen; interestingly, David v. Goliath features in the explanation!

How to fix grade inflation in higher education? One option, implemented by Harvard is to have a (20%) cap on the number of As profs can award. This convo explains why that somewhat simple solution isn't so good. Why? 1/3

I would add that despite showing high levels of job satisfaction our surveys also portray the challenges of the teaching profession. Teaching remains stressful and managing student behavior is the top source of stress identified by teachers

We (many authors) examine what applications to different teaching & principal jobs suggest about the preferences of job applicants for schools.

But I was surprised that much of the evidence of differences in applicants/posting was between rather than within districts (though there are some important caveats about this finding, you'll have to read more!).

Principal labor markets looked somewhat different, but we also couldn't infer too much about principals given far smaller samples of principal jobs/applicants.

And, we also found that Asian and Black applicants are significantly more likely than White applicants to indicate a preference for working in schools: located in
lower-income neighborhoods, serving higher percentages of FRPL students, & higher percentages of Black students.

We find some things that aren't so surprising, such as districts serving historically disadvantaged students receiving fewer teaching applications & applicants (when asked) preferring higher income schools & those w/ higher proportions of White students.
