What happens when a test designed to certify teachers ends up discouraging them? Alexis Orellana and @MarcusAWinters show that failing Praxis II disproportionately deters effective candidates and those headed to schools with fewer disadvantaged students.

.@slungaardmumma's novel analysis examining more than 6,000 school libraries, their catalogs and recent purchases, highlighted the chilling effects of book challenge/bans. Thanks to @educationweek for coverage!

As books are banned and challenged across the country, they might have a much larger impact than the removal of a few titles: They may be changing the makeup of entire school libraries, due to the chilling effect they create. #BookBans edweek.org/teaching-learning…

🚨New working paper!🚨
“Politics and Children’s Books: Evidence from School Library Collections”
School libraries have become contentious spaces, but we know almost nothing about their quality/content. I fill this gap with new data collected on the 📚 on library shelves. (1/n)
#Schoollibraries play a vital role, but we don't really know a ton about them (except that we love them!). New WP by @slungaardmumma compiles data f/ 6,000 school libraries to shed light on what's on the shelves & politics influencing those purchases.
