I’m overjoyed to share that this summer I will join the @lehighedu @LehighU faculty! I’m thrilled to join such a fantastic institution with stellar faculty, staff, students, and community members!

Thanks to @KevinMahnken @The74 for highlighting our CRT figure as one of the top 12 of 2025! @BrianKisida @heidilauren1 @g_ritt @CameronAnglum the74million.org/article/12-cha…

New research from Brookings shows a perception gap: While most U.S. high school students view their schools as politically balanced, many adults—especially Republicans—see a liberal bias. That disconnect may be driving education policy more than reality. brookings.edu/articles/perce…

NEW from me today (link below): A new study form Missouri shows that (a) superintendents like the 4-day school week because they believe it helps retain/recruit teachers; and (b) the four-day week does not, in fact, do that

🚨 New from PRiME: Teacher turnover in Missouri hit record highs post-pandemic. While rates dropped in 2023–24, major equity gaps persist, especially for teachers of color & in high-need schools. 📉📚 Read the full report by Dr. J.

@CameronAnglum & @erhinesmith study public opinion of Critical Race Theory in public ed, finding disconnects between voter & parent stances and inconsistencies between opposition to the CRT label & support for racism-related instruction @lehighedu @SLU_SOE bit.ly/3PTyweK

The new poll on political/cultural teaching in schools will generate attention. I appreciate a point made by @KevinMahnken’s coverage that I haven’t seen in social media reactions: the political slant isn’t always leftist. For example: “While 18% said their teachers had spoken negatively about Republicans, slightly more said that they’d heard Democrats disparaged.”

How 'woke' are schools in the US? It's tricky to measure, but new data suggests people on both sides are largely talking past each other. Coverage of our new study in @educationweek @g_ritt @CameronAnglum @heidilauren1 edweek.org/teaching-learn…

New publication at @EducationNext with @BrianKisida @g_ritt Jennifer Gontram @CameronAnglum @heidilauren1 and Darnell Leatherwood takes an empirical look at critical race theory using a nationally-representative sample of U.S. high schoolers. educationnext.org/bridging-the-d…

Is 'wokeness' a serious problem in schools? In our new study, we find a substantial minority of students often hear critical race theory related claims from their teachers.

Our new research in @EducationNext surveys a national sample of HS students to shed light on the prevalence of CRT-related topics in schools, student opinions about these issues, & who influences their politics. @g_ritt @CameronAnglum @heidilauren1

@lehighedu Great to spend time with @LincolnIU12!

What would City of Yes look like in Philly? Expanding TOD overlay to more BSL and RR stations, and increasing footprint from 500 sqft radius; upzoning, and reversing downzonings of major corridors; removal of ADU bans from district overlays; redevelopment/densification of aging
