An incredibly important, immaculately researched, & beautifully written book by the best there is. Truly a must-read for anyone who cares about school choice, education policy, and the ongoing barriers that impede all children’s fair access to supportive & enriching schools.

I’m excited to share that The Scarcity Loop: How School Choice Reshapes the Rationing of Public Education is officially out in the world. It seemed important to find a slice.

Glad this issue is getting the attention it deserves. Educators need more support & training for the day-to-day work of meeting kids where they are in the face of terrifying ICE brutality. Thx to @theconversation.com for covering

Great insights by @csattinbajaj.bsky.social on how schools can support immigrant students, parents, and the teachers who care about them.

At long last, I’m thrilled to share a new article (w/former grad student Jessica Nguyen) published in Educational Studies:

What are teachers taught about migration? A content analysis of California’s teacher credentialing standards and teacher education course syllabi

The population of immigrant-origin students attending schools outside of their or their parents’ countries of origin has dramatically expanded in recent decades. Yet, educators continually report f...

NEW: Last year, The Heritage Foundation called on states to pass laws that could prompt a challenge to Plyler v. Doe, which guarantees children the right to a public education regardless of immigration status. Now lawmakers in at least 5 states are doing just that. www.chalkbeat.org/2025/02/08/r...

Delighted (and surprised!) to learn that this summary of my study with @jenjennings.bsky.social, @cohodes.bsky.social, and @csattinbajaj.bsky.social was @nepc.bsky.social's most-read newsletter of 2024! You can read it here: nepc.colorado.edu/publication/...

Excited to share my new article in @sfjournal.bsky.social ! Using a survey experiment with 995 families, I show how race shapes beliefs about school safety. White, Asian, and Latine families perceive Black schools as less safe—even when safety ratings are identical. #Education #Race 1/4

This is why all districts should be training educators on students’ and families’ rights and protocols for responding if/when ICE attempts to enter a school building. Well done CPS for preparing school leaders for dealing with the terrible state we’re in right now.
