Some sage advice from @CameronAnglum on four-day school weeks. Few signs of positive, big possibility of negatives. pennlive.com/opinion/2024/09…

Great new work from @andrewcamp_ et al. on 4DSW impacts on teacher retention in MO, finding similar null effects as Emma Dewil & I found in CO. Come to our session at APPAM with @a_j_ainsworth and @Kate__Barnes to discuss all the new 4DSW findings!

Do four day school weeks help retain teachers? Recently we've had some great evidence on this Q from OR (@a_j_ainsworth et al), CO (@emily_r_morton & Dewil) and my earlier paper looking at AR. Excited to add evidence from another state with a @SLU_PRIME research brief today.

Four-day school weeks (4dsw) have exploded in popularity in recent years as a tool to recruit and retain staff, but how effective are they at doing so over the long term?  @EmilyKPenner, @Yujia_Liu_20 and I examine this question in Oregon. A 🧵 1/N  edworkingpapers.com/index.ph…

📣 GRADING RESEARCHERS 📣 Minimum grading is a no cost implementation—but the Carifio and Carey back of the envelope calculation from 2013/13? Min grading might not SAVE as much money as we’ve been citing. epaa.asu.edu/index.php/epaa/…

Nice new article covering four-day school week adoptions following the pandemic: realclearinvestigations.com/… It features some of my favorite researchers and some of my work looking at the calendar's impact on teacher retention in Arkansas.
