NEW: a Q&A on the new federal scholarship tax credit. Public schoolers can use it. School districts can earn revenue. I’m a voucher critic, but a lot of public school communities will need to do this and I won’t abandon them for the hard, necessary work ahead. open.substack.com/pub/joshcowe...

A Q&A on the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit

Public school families and public school districts can benefit from a new national program, and it's important to explain how.

Our SEDA/EOP team released new trend data today! edopportunity.org/trends/ @upshot.nytimes.com has a nice lookup tool for districts (with apologies to AK, CO, ME, MT, NY, NV, & OR). I like the comparisons to similar districts and hope they encourage peer learning. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

🚨There is a lot of policy movement to expand career & technical Ed but little evidence of what to expect from such expansion. Our WP provides evidence from MA on take up & ➕impacts in the first 5 yrs after HS. #cte

It's great to see NAEP & NCES staffing up. Measurement requires rare expertise. I hope my qualified colleagues consider these important positions and the commitment to public service that they represent. Note: Some applications are due today. www.usajobs.gov/Search/Resul... @ncme38.bsky.social

Terrible analysis. The Post wants NY to unfairly punish students who get harder questions. NY's approach follows standards, see Ch 5 www.testingstandards.net/uploads/7/6/... Plenty of reasons to critique/improve state testing. This isn't one of them. Our TAC comment www.linkedin.com/posts/new-yo...

It's been 2 years (+ 1 month) since I left academia. In case anyone is wondering, I have zero regrets. Indeed, I'm living my best life and am so happy I made the leap. If you're considering leaving too, here are some thoughts on how to explore your options/find a job you'll love...

BREAKING: new study just dropped that shows compelling evidence that cell phone bans cause student grades to modestly increase. Grade increases are largest among low performing students.

Research with restricted-use data is more precise, powerful, and relevant. Faculty and staff will be working through the weekend to answer important research questions before we no longer can. This is not normal, necessary, or efficient.

I spoke up on behalf of NAEP and measurement expertise. So much else is at risk. This is a five-alarm fire, burning statistics that we need to understand and improve education. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/u...

Anyone who cares about NAEP should worry about the abrupt removal of the person most responsible for its technical and operational quality.

As a former admission officer whose dissertation touched on admission policy, I think there's room for nuance in test-optional debates. But it's clear to me that *highly selective* colleges should require standardized test scores.

New results from "The Nation's Report Card" just dropped and they are pretty bad. I got a sneak peek as a member of IES’s Standing Committee, so I had an extra day or so to ruminate about them. A few thoughts 👇 1/n
