Five would be ideal. If that’s too many, I’d take whatever you can do.

Still in need of non-student reviewers for AERA Division L, Section 1 (governance, politics, & legal issues), Section 2 (curriculum, instruction, assessment, & data use), and Section 3 (policy implementation, analysis, and impact). If you have expertise in these areas, please consider volunteering!

Hustling to meet an IRB deadline and remembering the days of working as a researcher at UW and needing to snail mail applications for the Washington State IRB. I even had to drive to Olympia to hand deliver an application once or else we would’ve missed the deadline 😫 Thankful for technology!

Hi ed policy folks! Anyone able to review AERA proposals for Division L (Educational Policy and Politics), Section 1 (Governance, Politics, and Legal Issues)? We need 3 or 4 more non-student reviewers. The ask is to review ~10 proposals each. You can DM me if interested. Thanks & please share!

I’ve made it my entire academic career without drinking coffee, until this year and now here I am, drinking it daily 😫

Does anyone here know if Texas makes school level attendance measures available through PEIMS? We aren’t finding the longitudinal data we are interested in. We have an email and a call out to TEA but hoping to get some answers sooner if possible.

It was a great afternoon of thoughtful conversation and idea-sharing. Opportunities like this always push me to think about how to make my research more accessible and relevant beyond academia. Thanks to EWA for the invitation and to my fellow panelists and audience members for a great discussion!

I spent the afternoon with education reporters as part of an EWA pre-conference session. Our panel focused on how factors outside of school shape students’ experiences and influence what happens inside schools, a topic my students know I can talk about endlessly.

I chaired an awesome session on understanding + responding to student absenteeism this morning. The panel highlighted findings from qual + quant studies from 5 states, underscoring the role of policy + practice, sense making + discretion, and the need for resources in promoting attendance #AEFP2026

The lawsuit could force a jury to decide if turning Black communities into sacrifice zones is a legacy of slavery.

6 am school wake up and the first thing my 8 year old son said was, “did the justices win the election? did they keep their seats?” referring to Donohue, Dougherty, and Wecht in PA. He was over the moon about it. “Yay we won!”. Then we had a mini lesson on federal, state, and local government.

Worked on a R&R and mapped out the shell of a fall keynote (I had to submit a description so I was forced to start early) from Vault + Vine in East Falls. Soaked up sun, enjoyed the company of a good friend, and picked up some trinkets. I did not buy plants! #coffeeshopchronicles
