What counts as quality in #EdResearch? @LaurGoldenberg & I propose this framework for #ResearchWorthUsing: 1. Relevance of question 2. Theoretical credibility 3. Methodological credibility 4. Evidentiary credibility 5. Relevance of answer #EBDM #EvidenceSynthesis @AERA_EdResearch

@cmtpitts Thank you so much for your very generous comments! 🙏Will do my best to live up to them, with lots of collaboration.

I cannot think of a more prepared and bold leader to do this work. @mindmannered is exactly the right person to think deeply and drive this enormous change for U.S. students. Cheers and onward!

I'm honored and excited to start the next chapter of my career by joining @CarnegieFdn ! Looking forward to connecting with past and future colleagues about our shared mission to transform and improve our #education systems. #CarnegieUnit #SystemsChange #ContinuousImprovement

New paper from me and @angrist_noam! We look at targeted educational instruction in developing countries. We find that implementation quality strongly predicts program treatment effects. We run a new RCT attempting to improve implementation and see large increases in impact!

New study on the distinction b/w empathy and compassion. We find empathy = more self focus & negative emotion, whereas compassion = more other focus & positive emotion. Moral implications? 🧵 @paulbloomatyale @sal_giorgi @JEichstaedt @LyleUngar @WWBProject researchgate.net/publication/37…

The State has the opportunity – and the power – to sustain BART, or let BART and the Bay Area economy fail.

@FarleyRipple @LaurenPBailes @drtpaoletti @drtianbarnes @AllisonKarpyn @lynseymathed Congratulations, Professor Liz! 👩‍🎓🤗🎉

@artilesaj Congratulations, Alfredo! What a wonderful honor.

I'm immensely honored and humbled by this recognition. My deepest gratitude to my family and mentors, colleagues and students who have inspired me and offered guidance in my journey. amacad.org/news/2023-memb… amacad.org/new-members-20…

“Adaptions occur not just on the level of ‘what works’ for pupils but also on the level of ‘how to make it work’.” Understanding implementation is therefore critical for identifying & redressing the barriers in our systems, which give rise to disparities in student outcomes. 👇

@kristinsalvarez @SFUnified Thank you, Kristin!

Check out this great new piece by my @SFUnified colleague, Norma Ming @mindmannered

Why do district offices' attempts to tackle systemic ed inequities often fail? @Meredith_Honig points to the promise of an institutional approach that surfaces & recasts premises that drive individual practices, policies, and organizational arrangements. shorturl.at/bdhzX

"Applying implementation frameworks to improve ed research & practice requires a shift in our approach to conceptualizing, producing, & using evidence. These span systems for data collection, evidence generation, & knowledge sharing", says @mindmannered. rb.gy/1pdj5j

BREAKING NEWS on teacher attrition in the pandemic era. In this new @caldercenter flash brief, we (@RoddyTheobald) use @waOSPI data to update SY 2021-22 to 2022-23 attrition. The trend is definitely up, see: caldercenter.org/publications/t… (1/n)

In 2018, "Parachute use to prevent death and major trauma when jumping from aircraft: randomized controlled trial" was published in the British Medical Journal. It sought to determine if wearing a parachute when jumping from a plane had any impact on survivability. It did not.

10/10. Funders & policymakers should align resources & incentives with these goals to support research & practice communities in collaborating to achieve more equitable outcomes through more equitable implementation in our education systems.

9/n. Three goals: (1) Engineering – Improve education practice & outcomes. (2) Science – Advance evidence base about what works, for whom, when, & why. (3) #Metascience – Build evidence base about #ResearchUse & #ResearchImpact in education.

1/n. Why apply #ImpSci to education? Since learning emerges from rapidly-changing experiences & high-intensity social interactions “dense w/ discretionary spaces” (@deborah_ball), instruction must continually adapt. @wtgrantfdn bit.ly/ImpSciEvidSys
