Appreciated the opportunity w/ @BrookingsEd to frame my work w/ @MatthewAKraft on the landscape of GYO programs for a policy & general audience A few key takeaways about this increasingly popular solution to teacher workforce challenges: brookings.edu/articles/grow-…

Future research: We need to know what types of GYO programs are effective at improving the many outcomes associated w/ them. I contributed to a research agenda that outlines possible research questions & data needed to evaluate GYOs newamerica.org/education-poli…

Grow Your Own: An Umbrella Term for Very Different Localized Teacher Pipeline Programs is out in @ERjournal_AERA ! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3102/00… @MatthewAKraft & I explore how the term GYO is used, describe GYO program variation, & examine alignment btwn GYO purposes & programming 🧵

@RoddyTheobald @NewAmerica Let me know if it doesn’t work!

Excited to share @NewAmerica Grow Your Own (GYO) Teacher Research Agenda I wrote w/ Amaya Garcia Brad Carl Conra Gist Jason Greenberg Motamedi Jenny Seelig & Roey Ahram! We know little about the effectiveness of GYO programs. We need more research! newamerica.org/education-po...

To remedy this, we outline important research questions & the specific data we need to evaluate them. We hope GYO programs, district & prep program leaders, & funders use this research agenda to inform their data collection & evaluation efforts!

GYO programs are difficult to study. They’re small size, their effects take years to observe plus we need for connected data across institutions & a good comparison group to study them.

Conclusion: choice is not good or bad. Choice is used by relatively disadv. Ss. There are positive fx of urban charters & interdist. choice on student achievement. Unregulated choice is just not a viable strategy for reducing segregation. 11/12
