The availability of modern education data systems has not translated into meaningful improvements in how state policies use data to identify students in need of additional resources and supports, note @IshtiaqueFazlul, Cory Koedel, and @esparsons. brookings.edu/articles/predi…
Educational data infrastructure and computing power have advanced greatly, but this has not translated into meaningful improvements in how we use data to identify at-risk students. In a new paper, @IshtiaqueFazlul, @Mizzou’s Cory Koedel, and @esparsons think we can do better.

Macmillan Learning has put together some fun profile videos of their peer consultants. First up, me! macmillanlearning.com/college/us/eve…
That's my boy!
For the economics instructors out there, here are some fun in-class activities you might want to try (including one from yours truly): macmillanlearning.com/college/us/eve…
Every semester, I show this @SHAQ clip to 1000+ Mizzou students when discussing dominant strategies. Tomorrow, @djdiesel is going to be right outside my office. I'd love to get the chance to thank him for the sports memories (and great econ examples)! youtu.be/CHmeHg04f3U?si…
Interested in studying poli-sci, public admin & policy, or economics? Come meet with faculty, advisors, & fellow students and learn about great opportunities in each field. Plus, snacks will be served! RSVP here for the open house on Aug 18: cglink.me/2ny/r411710
My essay at The Learning Curve examines the variation in bachelor's and doctoral degree completions for different race/ethnicity groups, and how this has implications for the pool of prospective faculty members.

Congratulations to our graduating seniors! This year Mizzou Economics graduated 60 seniors with GPAs of 3.7 or better. Good luck to all with your next adventure!

Massive shout out to this man👍 3 games in 6 days playing a combined total of 259 mins scoring 2 massive goals and bossing the midfield after being out for the previous 2 at the age of 34 with 3 motm performances imo Has been nothing short of outstanding. Gana Gueye we salute u👍
A word on the manager, he’s got the job done with 3 games to spare, he’s had the toughest conditions any EFC manager has had to deal with, his calmness has been crucial whilst heads were falling off all around him, I think he deserves credit for the job he’s done
"It is my biggest achievement, to lead a group from where it was to where it is. We have relied on no-one but ourselves. No one outside the club and the fans, we have not been given anything, no easy ride and I'm super proud. This season has been incredibly tough." - Sean Dyche

“Full time” college students spend less than three hours per day in class or doing homework. A downstream consequence of the marketization of higher education — the customers are getting what they want and what they want is easy classes. slowboring.com/p/college-stud…
I have a few additional thoughts on this thread. 1) I wrote this thread about policy advocates, but it's 100% as true for academics. There are many TRUE BELIEVER advocates at university schools of education, and all the same issues apply (maybe even more; they should know better)
There is a funny little tension I sometimes run up against when working with policy advocacy folks. The short version is something like this:
My contribution to the USC discourse is that I wore my @TheFIREorg "Free Speech Makes Free People" t-shirt to the gym yesterday and I think people thought I was a Republican. Don't worry, I'll wear my "We're All Lesbians" t-shirt tomorrow just to confuse them.
And so I think we need to do better about being honest about what policies can accomplish and not being TRUE BELIEVERS, but rather true believers who recognize that policy is iterative and can/must be critiqued when it is not working, so that we can make it better over time.
But doing a policy wrong--or claiming that it will do something that it does not--is fundamentally a bad idea, and I think in the long run undermines faith, not just in the policy itself, but in government as a whole.
I left academics last year. I had two PhD students that I was primary advisor for. I have worked with them all year on my own time and as of today they have both successfully defended. Your students are your kids and you finish raising them.
@piyush1337 No one pays attention in class anyway
Once again I am begging Americans not to think of Native Americans as the elves from J.R.R. Tolkien books
Quite a few people (across all political orientations) think Native American tribes lived in peace and harmony
When people say we should replace calculus in the high school math sequence by "statistics" what they often mean is something like, "it would be good if students had some statistical literacy." But it is not clear to me that teaching about e.g. chi^2-tests would provide this!
