.@RANDCorporation's @camulhern: students of color who are matched with nonwhite counselors were more likely to graduate high school & go to college and had more positive outcomes than if they'd been matched to a counselor from a different racial background edweek.org/leadership/why…

My officemate may make a guest appearance to share her thoughts on the impact of COVID on dog adoptions. #PetsofAEFP

Looking forward to presenting work with @JoshuaSGoodman and @abacherhicks today @AEFPweb. Come learn about inequality in searches for online learning resources during COVID in session 11.04.

Feeling very thankful for all the people who helped me get here, excited for what is next @RANDcorporation, and delighted to be in such good company @riaction @CaminaNTMorales.

Recently published COVID paper in the @JPubEcon : "Inequality in Household Adaptation to Schooling Shocks: COVID-Induced Online Learning Engagement in Real Time" Vol 193 (Jan 2021) by @abacherhicks , @JoshuaSGoodman , & @camulhern sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

There's almost always a @RANDCorporation study about it. AKA what I found trying to figure out how & why we need to use Naviance: Changing College Choices with Personalized Admissions Information at Scale: Evidence on Naviance rand.org/pubs/external_… @camulhern #admissions

@James_S_Murphy @EDAnalyst That's right. This article summarizes @TaraPNicola's research on the history of the caseload recommendation: hechingerreport.org/decades-old-st…

@EDAnalyst @camulhern 250:1. It's in the thread. I think @camulhern actually tracked down the source and it's ancient and not particularly evidence-based, if I remember correctly.

Re-upping this thread on the counselor:student ratio since I saw it mentioned today. We need to hire more school counselors. They can have a big impact on college-going. See the work by @camulhern. But we also should be accurate about the scale of the problem.

@JoshuaSGoodman @JacobBastian25 @dynarski @ArpitaPatnaik6 @POreopoulos @michelmorek @EricHanushek @pqblair @camulhern Here is a summary of @camulhern piece on high school counselors educationnext.org/better-school-…

Internet searches for online learning resources doubled after Covid-induced school closures swept the US, with households in high income areas searching much more than households in low income areas, from @abacherhicks, @joshuasgoodman, and @camulhern nber.org/papers/w27555

@odedgurantz @ozanjaquette @NSClearinghouse @DrAndrewNichols Counselors in my sample are quasi-randomly assigned (based on student names). More details are in the paper :)

The study found that students assigned to counselors who are one standard deviation more effective than the median are two percentage points more likely to graduate high school, and 1.7 percentage points more likely to attend a 4-yr college. bit.ly/2AkNTJR

New in @EducationNext: @camulhern shares her important research on how much high school counselors matter for student success. educationnext.org/better-school-…

.@JoshuaSGoodman, Michael Hurwitz, @camulhern, and @jonisaacsmith study within-family spillovers in college enrollment to show college-going behavior is transmissible between peers...

An older sibling's decision to enroll in a higher-quality college can spill over to a younger sibling, particularly in families with insufficient information about colleges, from @joshuasgoodman, Michael Hurwitz, @camulhern, and @jonisaacsmith nber.org/papers/w26502

@clconaway This would not have been possible without your help and all the other awesome folks at DESE! Thank you!

Check out this awesome JMP on guidance counselors, and congratulations @camulhern! Happy to have played a small part in getting this project launched.

The paper is available here: papers.cmulhern.com/Counselors_Mul…

More broadly, these results indicate that counselors are an important education input and that personalized advising may be a useful way to improve social and economic outcomes in a variety of settings.

Excited to share my JMP: “Beyond Teachers: Estimating Individual Guidance Counselors’ Effects on Educational Attainment” It provides the first quantitative evidence on counselors’ large effects on a variety of educational outcomes.
