I suspect other states would look similar on the issues.

Bar graphs showing the biggest issues facing ND K-12 education. Insufficient funding, student behavior, and teacher retention/recruitment are at the top. Differences between households with K-12 students and without at home.

Out of connecting with state and local CTE folks came two new funded research projects. 1: Starting next year, I have funding to evaluate a recent policy committing matching funds to spur consolidation of CTE into Area Technical Centers. 3/n

Evaluating North Dakota Student Access to Diverse CTE Pathways after HB1199
Anthony M. Perry

This study evaluates the impact of North Dakota House Bill 1199, which provided $80 million for regional Area Technical Centers (ATCs) through competitive grants. The project uses a mixed-methods approach featuring a difference-in-differences analysis of course enrollment data and a qualitative case study of cross-sector collaboration at the Career Impact Academy. The research investigates whether regional capital improvements and industry matching requirements provide a cost-effective strategy for expanding career pathways in sparsely populated, rural states.

Come for a discussion on validity. Stay for bigger questions on what it means to do valid and authentic assessment across K-12 and business sectors. Even harder when you move between sectors. convention2.allacademic.com/one/aera/aer...

Abstract
Cross-cutting skills like communication, teamwork, and problem-solving are as important as technical and academic skills in preparing youth for postsecondary success. American schools are investing in Work-Based Learning as a strategy to provide more students opportunities to develop these skills in authentic contexts. Yet, unlike technical and academic skills, no gold standard assessment exists that is useful in the education sector and labor market. This study investigates the validity of one state’s assessment practices. Preliminary findings from one school district suggest that a rubric-based approach has little evidence of construct and concurrent validity. These findings reinforce the importance of developing sound assessment practices with employer stakeholders to ensure measurement tools are useful across settings.

AI for me but not for thee...

Two infographics. 42% of public school leaders have a somewhat or very favorable student use for education. 69% of public school leaders have a somewhat or very favorable view of teacher use for AI for accomplishing their duties.

Running through this data (from NCES surveys) with my EdTech students this week. Curious what they think and how they are thinking through the policy change they (mostly) lived through.

I observed four common features across three very different schools. The interview data is rich in examples of the ways each school went about slowly building trust between stakeholders which becomes a positive feedback loop to strengthen the network 5/n

Slide showing four common design elements: explicit trust building, signals of institutional credibility, (striving for) robust systems, and aligning instructional subsystems with industry practices.

The first image uses "UND." The second spells out "University of North Dakota." The final image adds "professor" after University of North Dakota. Lots worth discussing in this triplet... Post your bluesky name and bio in ai and see what it makes of it. Stablediffusionweb.com
