Excited to be heading to Los Angeles for #AERA2026 to present work on factors that drive state level homeschooling. We have multiple members of our lab presenting papers! @JHUhomeschool @JHUeducation

Just a quick happy spring pic of one of my 30+ orchids. This is 5 plants w 6 spikes and about 60+ blooms. Its been blooming since January but is at peak right now.

Bottom line— parents want options and use them when they have them.

That's a wrap #AEFP2026! @JHUhomeschool had a great time in Chicago for this year's @aefpweb conference. We're already looking forward to next year! #Homeschooling #EducationPolicy #JohnsHopkins #HomeschoolResearch #AEFP2026 #AEFP2027 #EducationResearch

Ok friends #AEFP2026 Ohare at 6am. Mayhem. Bag check line was a mile long. TSA pre line too. But once I made it into the actual line I was through touchless in 5 min. Good luck.

Alanna presenting our newest work on how innovative public districts are leveraging a la carte options to attract homeschool students — and their funding @JHUhomeschool @JHUeducation @aefpweb

Glad to see all my people at #AEFP2026. I think this was my best AEFP ever!

Hi #AEFP2026! Please join us Friday, March 20 @ 2:45 pm for our presentation: "Recapturing students and funding: How districts use à la carte courses to recoup enrollment losses" by Alanna Bjorklund-Young, @AngelaRWatson, and Norman P. Gibbs ➡️ virtual.oxfordabstracts.com/event/75879/su… @aefpweb

Nina is such a legend and one of my best heroes. Talk about a trailblazer- listen- this is the only work on Indigenous homeschooling that I know of.

#Newdata from our partnership with @RANDCorporation challenge a common narrative ➡️ 68% of #homeschooling parents either currently use or would use public funding — such as ESAs or tax credits — to homeschool their child. Full report: education.jhu.edu/edpolicy/polic…

@biggieschools @The74 Microschool stats coming soon- we have it in this data

Here is the first release of findings from our new data from Rand ALP. See @The74 for the story out today. 3 out of 4 homeschooling parents would use public funding if they had access. But more than half don’t have that access. education.jhu.edu/edpolicy/polic…

Excited to be heading to @aefpweb for #AEFP2026 @JHUeducation @JHUhomeschool where we will present new work on intersection of homeschool and public school. Students want access and bring in funding to public schools w/declining enrollment.

Glad our new data can inform these important discussions! Exclusive: Many Homeschoolers Want ESAs, But Texas Awards More Funds to Private School Kids @The74 the74million.org/article/exclus…

We have some pretty interesting findings from our new data coming out @JHUhomeschool this week.
