If you have experience as an educator in any capacity and love working with data, I hope you'll consider applying. We start reviewing applications on Monday.

We have now made our data tracking state takeovers of school districts public. Please download and use it if helpful for your work! pedl.stanford.edu/data-tools Thanks to Josh Bleiberg @joshbleiberg.bsky.social for much of the heavy lifting.

Thread in the am but if you want the main takeaway: The 2024 Digest of Education Statistics (under the current administration) includes just 27 tables by the (Congressionally mandated) deadline—far fewer than the nearly 270, on average, published in prior years www.brookings.edu/articles/the...

The U.S. Department of Education is far behind on producing key statistics | Brookings

Federal education data releases have slowed dramatically, with major gaps in the 2024 Digest and Condition of Education report.

Here's one of my best friends (who, before being illegally fired, was the data scientist at NEH) showing just how much money NEH could distribute back out to US taxpayers based on their lifetime contributions. Get ready to make it rain with thousands of pennies y'all!

ben@btskinner.io · last yr.

As an elder millennial, I could trade my lifetime of tax contributions to the NEH for one month of Netflix and have just enough left over to get some avocado toast if I split it with two other people

Line graph titled "What's my share of NEH appropriations" with a caption: "Between its founding in 1965 and fiscal year 2024, the National Endowment for the Humanities received congressional appropriations totaling $7.37 billion. NEH used this funding to support thousands of individuals and cultural organizations - both directly through various grant programs and indirectly through funds disbursed by the 56 state and jurisdictional humanities councils. Beyond these appropriations, grantees raised millions of dollars more from non-federal donors as part of grant matching requirements. To put NEH appropriations in perspective, this chart shows cumulative annual per capita contribution to NEH by age, that is, the total dollar amount the average taxpayer has given to NEH over their lifetime. A few relevant purchases are helpfully included to show what a person could have bought instead, had they kept their personal NEH contribution for themselves..." The x-axis ranges from 0 to 59 years old. The y-axis ranges from $0 to $30. At three ages, items that could have instead been purchased with an individual's lifetime NEH contribution are shown. At 13 years, an egg is plotted on the line with a dollar amount of $6.41 and the caption reads, "Just in time to feed a growth spurt, a person at 13 years old has contributed enough to NEH that they could instead purchase one dozen eggs ($6.23/dozen)." At 36 years, a popcorn bucket is plotted with a dollar amount of $18.20 and the caption reads, "Millennials who are at least 36 years old could exchange their nearly four decades worth of NEH support for a one month subscription to Netflix ($17.99/month)." At 50 years, a gasoline pump is plotted with the dollar amount of $26.00 and the caption reads, "Those 50 years old or older - who have been contributing to the agency for nearly its entire existence - could instead have saved that money to purchase about a half tank of gas (8 gallons at $3.23/gallon)."

🚨I am psyched to share a new working paper from @edutuan.bsky.social & myself 🚨. We show how to estimate turnover & net-negative job loss (think ~shortages) with public data for K12 schools by county from 2000 to present, by race, ethnicity, educ attainment & gender. edworkingpapers.com/ai25-1135 🧵

Leveraging Quarterly Workforce Indicators to Analyze Teacher Labor Market Dynamics: Inequitable Trends in Educator Turnover

Educator labor markets vary considerably across the country and can change quickly during recessions. We use data from the Quality Workforce Indicators (QWI) on educators in Elementary and Secondary S...
