The language game of principal leadership for learning
Purpose Grounded by the concepts of principal leadership for learning and language games, this study was interested in the general question: Do leadership pathways require different principal–teacher conversational structures? The study begins with a review of the literature on principal leadership for learning. It turns to a description of language games before making a case that principal–teacher conversation is a language game engaged in and a…
Effects of a University-Led High-Impact Tutoring Program on Low-Achieving High School Students
This study uses a randomized controlled trial designed to examine a university-led high-impact tutoring program at seven high schools. The treatment group (n = 525) participated in high-impact tutoring (i.e., groups of 2:1 or 3:1) while the control group (n = 438) attended a remedial mathematics course. The treatment group showed a difference of nearly a half-year of learning (0.13 SD) compared with the control group. We also found no evidence th…
The National School Lunch Program and Healthy Eating
The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) is a federal program that provides free and reduced priced lunch to millions of low-income children in urban schools. Empirical research shows mixed results on the physical and nutritional health of urban students participating in the program. However, a considerable limitation of this literature is that it focuses on student participation in the NSLP rather than what students consume when they receive a s…
Contemporary Homeschooling Arrangements
Dramatic growth in the homeschool population in recent decades has coincided with an increase in the methods used to educate homeschooled children. However, researchers tend to treat homeschooled children as a uniform group without accounting for vastly different homeschooling arrangements. In this study, we examine the prevalence of four types of homeschool arrangements by pooling three cross-sectional waves of nationally representative data on …
Do virtual schools deliver in rural areas? A longitudinal analysis of academic outcomes
Do Charter Schools Worsen Conditions in Neighborhood Public Schools? An Analysis of School Safety in New York City
Safety has contributed to the growth of charter schools. However, charter schools may drain public schools of key resources, leading to a decline in safety in public schools. This study examines whether the opening of charter schools in New York City is associated with decreased safety in public schools. Results indicate very little or no difference in violent and non-violent offenses for public schools co-locating with charter schools and those …
Are gun ownership rates and regulations associated with firearm incidents in American schools? A forty-year analysis (1980–2019)
Parental Involvement in High Choice Deindustrialized Cities
Spurring parental involvement has been a core objective of charter school reform. This study compares for-profit-managed and nonprofit-managed charter schools and their public school peers in Detroit on two indicators of parental involvement. Nonprofit-managed charter schools generated higher rates of general parental involvement, net of demographic, school, and self-selection controls. Public schools, however, elicited greater parent participati…
Can a Positive School Climate Promote Student Attendance? Evidence From New York City
Nearly 15% of American students are chronically absent from school. To address absenteeism, many states have recently made chronic absence a core component of their school accountability plans. Scholars have theorized that a positive school climate can promote student attendance, but empirical support for this idea is lacking. In this study, the relationship between four student-reported measures of school climate and student attendance are inves…
Emergency certified teachers’ motivations for entering the teaching profession
The use of emergency certification to fill teaching vacancies has increased in many school districts across the United States. Prior research suggests that teachers’ underlying motivations for entering the profession are associated with student outcomes, but very little is known about the motivations of emergency certified teachers who enter the profession in a less systematic fashion than traditionally certified teachers. To understand emergency…
Flight to Safety in Deindustrialized Cities
Safety is one of the primary reasons why parents report seeking out a school of choice in depressed cities with a high proportion of charter schools. However, little empirical research has examined how parents assess school safety in these settings. This study explores factors that parents associate with school safety in Detroit, Michigan by conducting semi-structured interviews with parents ( n = 31) in both charter and public schools. To contex…
Do Homeschooled Students Lack Opportunities to Acquire Cultural Capital? Evidence from a Nationally Representative Survey of American Households
Experiences at school may create valuable opportunities for children to acquire cultural capital. One concern for homeschooled children is that they may be deprived of these opportunities. However, homeschool families may enable opportunities for their children to acquire cultural capital through participation in activities outside of formal instructional time. This study investigates this possibility by comparing cultural and family activities b…
Is Daily Parental Help with Homework Helpful? Reanalyzing National Data Using a Propensity Score-Based Approach
Previous analyses of large national datasets have tended to report a negative relationship between parental homework help and student achievement. Yet these studies have not examined heterogeneity in this relationship based on the propensity for a parent to provide homework help. By using a propensity score-based approach, this study investigates the relationship between daily parental homework help in first grade and student achievement in third…
Are Charter Schools Safer in Deindustrialized Cities With High Rates of Crime? Testing Hypotheses in Detroit
Families in deindustrialized cities with high crime rates report prioritizing school safety when opting for charter schools. Yet, very little research has investigated whether charter schools are safer than traditional public schools. This study compares charter and traditional public schools in Detroit, Michigan, on perceived school safety by linking student surveys to data on school, neighborhood, and parent-related characteristics. Charter sch…
Research use capacity in provincial governments
Despite advances in research‐informed public policy, research remains underutilized in government. To develop a firmer understanding of governmental capacity to use research in decision making, we investigate Canadian provincial ministries overseeing education, higher education, and science and technology. The findings from semi‐structured interviews indicate that capacity to generate and access research is limited. However, we find evidence of a…
