Adulthood is just cycling between "If I don't say yes to every opportunity, no new opportunities will ever be offered to me" and "Oh no, I have said yes to too many things" over and over until you die.

🌟New publication!🌟 Check out our study on dual licensure policies and special education teacher preparation numbers in JREE. Pleased to share this final pub from our @aeraedresearch.bsky.social research grant! doi.org/10.1080/1934... @kimberlymcfadden.bsky.social

How State Dual Licensure Policies Relate to the Number of Prepared Teachers in Special Education

ABSTRACT
As more students with disabilities are educated in inclusive classrooms, dual licensure policies have emerged as a promising strategy to improve the quality of special education teaching. However, there are concerns that these policies might worsen the chronic shortage of special education teachers by introducing additional requirements for teaching candidates. This study seeks to explore these concerns by examining the association between state dual licensure policies and the number of prepared special education teachers. We analyzed Title II data in conjunction with policy enactment data collected from various sources in three states. Our findings indicate that, overall, the policy was not significantly associated with the number of prepared teachers. We discuss these results in the context of their implications for future research and policy.

To the mamas who raised us, loved us, held it down—and still manage to fix everything with a hug: we see you, we love you, we thank you. Happy Mother’s Day to the real MVPs.

"You’ve probably heard the phrase “correlation isn’t causation,” but what does that really mean?" Questions to ask: 1. Does the study have a control or comprehension group? 2. Does the study account for group differences? www.edweek.org/teaching-lea...

After a week of learning, sharing research, and reconnecting with friends and colleagues, Chicago welcomed me back with classic windy weather. Grateful to everyone who stopped by to chat about writing instruction for ESN students. Until next year! #CEC2025

As the horrors persist, so do my celebrations of the good stuff. I submitted my first practitioner article from my early career grant today. Here's to using federal dollars to make things better for kids with disabilities. It's my favorite. #AcademicSky #EduSky

Amid the barrage of actions directly against research to support students with disabilities, it feels more important than ever to celebrate the work we can do right now. Yesterday we submitted a manuscript, and today we got an acceptance. I'm celebrating with pho and sledding.

The comments of the reviewer(s) who reviewed your manuscript are included at the foot of this letter.

Congratulations - your manuscript has been processed and submitted to the journal

This was a big part of my brain at the end of grad school: what if I get a faculty job and never have a research idea again? I was amazed when I realized that the limitations section of my dissertation was a chest freezer of research ideas for future Esther to explore.
