One of my favorite things that has been said about the community we've been building at WEPC is that we happen to have "just really nice people, the kind that you like coming to work with" (in addition, ofc, to being excellent scholars!) Excited about a new addition in Fall 25!

Very personally invested in each of these individuals & so grateful for all the ways they’ve helped launch, build & make WEPC what it is today. Excited to stay in their orbit & continuing to support & admire their contributions to research/policy. The cake certainly says it all…

The end of an academic year is always a bit bittersweet as we see some of our favorite people take exciting new steps in their careers (& also because there is usually cake)! @abacherhicks @christocleve @wdelgadophd & Chelsie Ahn - We’re so lucky to have had you in our midst!

It's certainly been a minute since I've talked publicly about the state of teacher prep, but I am so looking forward to getting back to it w/ two colleagues who've been leading on this front for decades @DavidJChard & Eleonora Villegas-Reimers. Join us! bu.edu/wheelock/news/…

(Hindsight, probably should have rethought the overwhelming presence of the artwork in the background). 😬 Maybe Kate Middleton has some tips?

Probably one of my favorite new traditions, a dinner with @wheelock_policy and our policy-focused colleagues at #AEFP2024. Such a treat to have all these super thoughtful people around one table! Thanks to everyone that attended!

BREAKING: In the State of the Commonwealth, @MassGovernor announces a 5-year early literacy plan to bolster how kids across the state are being taught to read "Children are paying the price. Some are struggling, for years, to catch up — if they even can. So we're changing that."

My hope is that other states will follow @MASchoolsK12's lead & experiment thoughtfully w/ licensure policy, but do so with a robust research agenda alongside so that we can more firmly settle decades long debates. Both @CEDR_US & @wheelock_policy ready to help that happen (3/3)

Absolutely agree with last sentence of this piece, everyone should be looking closely at these policies and how they are shaping the workforce supply & quality. That said, one important caveat the @wheelock_policy work notes that this piece doesn't fully capture is.. (1/3)
Chad Aldeman@ChadAldeman

{New} When COVID hit, states granted waivers to allow teachers "emergency" licenses without their normal training. Were those teachers worse? Today @The74 I dig into research from @brbackes @CEDR_US @abacherhicks @OliviaLChi which suggests maybe not: the74million.org/article/emerge…
