Explaining Course Enrollment Gaps in High School: Examination of Gender-Imbalance in the Applied Sciences
Federal policy in the United States has urged high schools to expand offerings in career and technical education (CTE) coursework to address persistent gender inequities in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medical (STEMM) fields. Unfortunately, gender composition in engineering and health sciences CTE enrollment is highly imbalanced and reflects postsecondary and labor market trends. Using data from the High School Longitudinal …
Explaining disparities in absenteeism between kindergarteners with and without disabilities: A decomposition approach
The disparity in absenteeism between kindergarteners with and without disabilities is a persistent phenomenon across schools in the United States and reflects ongoing systemic inequities that disadvantage young children with disabilities. Yet, evidence of factors underlying this disparity remains less well understood, limiting the ability for schools to transform how they support students with disabilities in ways that could help narrow the dispa…
English-Learner-Classified Students and Absenteeism: A Within-Group Analysis of Missing School
This article used a rich longitudinal data set from four school districts in California to study absenteeism patterns among students classified as an English learner (EL). We looked at absence patterns overall and disaggregated by EL classification, grade level, and pre/post COVID-19. When their demographic and school-level factors are considered, ELs have fewer absences and are less likely to be chronically absent than non-EL students. This find…
STEM-Focused Career Courses and College Pipeline for Students with Learning Disabilities
Recent educational policies in the United States have fostered the growth of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) career-focused courses to support high school students’ persistence into these fields in college and beyond. As one key example, federal legislation has embedded new types of “applied STEM” (AS) courses into the career and technical education curriculum (CTE), which can help students persist in STEM through high sc…
Does High School STEMM Career Coursework Align With College Employment
Background/Context: Career and technical education (CTE) coursework in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medical/health (STEMM) fields has been supported by policy makers as a way to align the secondary-to-postsecondary-to-career pipeline. Yet, in the research, the focus has been on whether STEMM CTE coursetaking in high school predicts college-going or whether it predicts employment for non–college goers. Little attention has be…
Promoting persistence: Can computer science career and technical education courses support educational advancement for students with learning disabilities
Information technology and computer science represent one area of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) that have experienced significant growth in recent years. As such, federal policy has urged schools to embed new types of STEM courses into the curriculum. As one very prominent example, computer science (CS)-focused courses are a growing branch of career and technical education (CTE)—that is, CS-CTE. While previous research …
Does Parental Involvement Change After Schools Assign Students an IEP
Researchers suggest that parental involvement is important for parents of students with disabilities. While some research has examined parental involvement in the special education process, no research has investigated how general forms of parental involvement changes once a child begins to receive special education services. We consider various forms of parent involvement to exist within microsystems (e.g., home-based involvement) and mesosystem…
The Perfect Valentine
Jennifer Freeman's article is an example of Jean-Francois Lyotard's petit recit, a moving away from grandiose, pretentious metanarratives toward a local dialogue. The article is an exquisite fragment of everyday life narrated in what John Van Maanen has referred to as an "impressionistic tale," a first-person account of literary quality that not only tells that the author "was there" but makes all of us feel that we were "there" and leaves us bre…
