Pinpointing persistence in computer science pipelines
Background and Context U.S. demand for computer science (CS) talent remains high, yet participation in CS education and jobs is uneven by gender and race/ethnicity. While traditional CS pathways dominate research on persistence, alternative pathways such as coding bootcamps and apprenticeship programs may address workforce demand and equity gaps. Yet, little is known about who persists in these pathways.Objectives This study investigates persiste…
Conceptualizing alternative training and education in computer science
Background and Context STEM occupations are growing rapidly and offer economic benefits, yet underrepresentation persists among women, racial and ethnic minorities, and low-income individuals. Coding bootcamps have emerged as an alternative education option that may mitigate these disparities, providing intensive, skill-focused training aligned with local labor market needs. Understanding the effectiveness of these coding bootcamps in broadening …
Can Neighborhood Redevelopment Initiatives Improve Educational Outcomes? Novel Evidence From the Choice Neighborhood Initiative
Mixed-income initiatives provide critical investments in neighborhoods, including investments to improve schools, and provide case management and family support services to low-income families. The Choice Neighborhoods Initiative (CNI) is one of the largest and most comprehensive mixed-income neighborhood redevelopment initiatives to date; however, research has yet to examine the CNI’s effect on educational outcomes. We applied a robust differenc…
‘Reading between the lies’
In this hyperconnected world, misinformation spreads faster and farther than ever before. Adolescents, navigating the challenges of growing up, may be especially vulnerable to the overwhelming flow of digital information, including content on globally shared social media platforms. This study examines adolescents’ resistance to misinformation across 49 countries, using novel measures from the 2022 Program for International Student Assessment (PIS…
Early Impact of Teacher Leaders in a Networked Improvement Community on Middle School Mathematics Performance
Networked improvement communities (NICs) offer an approach for administrators, researchers, content experts, and teachers to co-develop, test, and spread instructional improvements. This study analyzed the effect of teachers’ participation in a NIC on growth in their students’ mathematics achievement in comparison to teachers in the same district who received the same mathematics professional learning but did not participate in the NIC activities…
Does School Academic Context Moderate the Relationship between Student Mobility and Academic Performance? Longitudinal Evidence from Missouri
Student mobility is highly prevalent in the U.S. and often has negative impacts on students’ academic performance. Within-year mobility may be especially disruptive; however, research on its impacts is limited. Additionally, less is known about how impacts may vary across school academic and geographic contexts. This study leverages longitudinal student-level data collected over nine years across five counties to investigate how within-year schoo…
Can Certificate Programs Solve the Skills and Spatial Mismatch Problem? Job Portability and Residential Mobility in a Coding and Apprenticeship Program
Nondegree certificate programs that are free, short, and located in urban areas may pose implications for the skills and spatial match between urban job-seekers and employers. Leveraging a large-scale survey of applicants to a unique technology certificate and apprenticeship program, we apply machine-learning generated propensity score weights, finding that apprenticeship completers were more likely to see a significant reduction in the distance …
Choice and Opportunity
Mixed-income development initiatives target distressed public housing for redevelopment and provide support to low-income families. These initiatives involve an involuntary move for families living in the sites targeted for redevelopment. The objectives of this study were to examine housing relocation, neighborhood change, and family well-being among families (n = 383) affected by the South City Choice Neighborhoods Initiative (CNI) in Memphis, T…
What the Russia-Ukraine Conflict Tells Us about Educational Resilience
Education, which can operate as a source of vulnerability or resiliency across multiple domains before, during, and after armed conflicts, is often only examined within a single domain, limiting the use and effectiveness of civil-affairs operations. This article outlines a novel conceptual framework of the primary mechanisms across seven unique domains by which education can serve as a key area of resiliency or vulnerability. A case study of Russ…
Who Transfers and Where Do They Go? Identifying Risk Factors Across Student, School, and Neighborhood Characteristics
Research demonstrates that student mobility, or students transferring schools, significantly affects student academic outcomes, making it a critical concern for policymakers and practitioners. Within-school-year transfers, in particular, often reflect sudden, unexpected circumstances. However, research on the prevalence, risk factors, and patterns of student mobility remains limited. This study leverages an ecological framework to identify studen…
Moving from Hope to Choice
Despite the potential benefits, research has yet to synthesize the impact of mixed-income initiatives on educational opportunities for families. Moreover, the policy intentions of mixed-income initiatives, particularly concerning children's educational opportunities, remain largely untested and lack theoretical and conceptual foregrounding. To fill these knowledge gaps, we critically review the Housing Opportunities for People Everywhere and Choi…
How Did Reskilling During the Covid-19 Pandemic Relate to Entrepreneurship and Optimism? Barriers, Opportunities, and Implications for Equity
Social support, mental health, academic coping, and perceptions of teaching quality during Covid‐19
Although social support is strongly related to college students' mental health in the context of COVID‐19, little is known about the academic mechanisms that explain and influence this relationship. This knowledge gap limits our ability to create effective interventions. Our current study extends the previous research by using longitudinal data from 2020 to 2021 and leveraging a unique panel dataset from over 1,500 university students in Israel. …
A place-based spatial analysis of racial inequities in overdose in St. Louis County Missouri, United States
These findings suggest that places of worship, the hospitality industry, and housing authorities may be physical features of the environment that reflect social conditions that are conducive to overdose. The scaling up of harm reduction strategies could be enhanced by targeting places where features are co-located
Pinching Pennies or Money to Burn
We examined grit in the context of a wealth-building situation: tax refund savings. Specifically, we leveraged a novel dataset combining longitudinal survey data with administrative tax data for a sample of 6,904 low- and moderate-income (LMI) tax filers in the United States. After statistically balancing individuals on grit across a range of important characteristics with propensity score weighting, we found that grit was associated with better …
Making the Case
Leveraging novel case management data, we present the first comprehensive investigation into the role of case management services in housing relocation and return decisions within the framework of the Choice Neighborhoods Initiative (CNI), the current place-based public housing revitalization program. Our study employs multinomial logistic (MNL) regression models to demonstrate that a higher level of involvement in case management services is cor…

The Child Tax Credit, Educational Investments, and the American Dream
In March 2021, the American Rescue Plan substantially increased the maximum per-child child tax credit (CTC). However, research has yet to explore educational investments associated with the CTC. Thus, the authors leverage a probability-based panel survey of CTC-eligible families across 49 states to examine how parents’ investments in tutoring and college savings relate to the degree to which parents believe that their children will have better l…
How does social support relate to emotional availability for learning during Covid-19? A multi-group structural equation model of university students from the U.S. and Israel
The Collateral Damage of In-School Suspensions
Even the least severe forms of exclusionary discipline are associated with detrimental effects for students that attend schools that overuse them. With a nationally representative longitudinal study of high school students, we utilize propensity score weighting to limit selection bias associated with schools that issue high numbers of in-school suspensions. Accounting for school social order and individual suspensions, we find that high-suspensio…
Home quarantines and cumulative risk exposure among young children
Self-isolation and quarantine are common and effective measures to contain the spread of COVID-19. However, it may have detrimental implications on young children's adaptation and mental health. The present study explores the prevalence of home quarantines among young children in Israel and their associations with children's maladaptive behaviors. The analysis is based on self-reported data obtained by 374 parents of young children in November 20…
Student Debt Forgiveness and Economic Stability, Social Mobility, and Quality-of-Life Decisions
As policymakers grapple with whether or not to forgive student debt, for who, and how much, it is important to explore how student debt forgiveness would relate to intended household decisions and behaviors. We conducted a survey experiment that asked participants with student debt to imagine a scenario in which the federal government forgave a certain amount of student debt. We then had these participants report on how this would affect their de…
Disrupted and Disconnected
Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, parents reported that their children spent the majority of their time at home, which can dramatically change their activities and negatively impact their social skills. However, research has yet to uncover the relationships between changes in activities during the pandemic and children’s social skills, nor the degree to which these relationships might differ across race and ethnicity. To fill this gap in knowledge,…
Suspended While Black in Majority White Schools
This article explores whether racial disparities in mathematics arise in majority White schools for students who receive in-school suspensions (ISS). Using data from the High School Longitudinal Survey and machine learning generated propensity scores to estimate average treatment effects, we find Black suspended students in schools with low White enrollment have math test scores and efficacy beliefs no different than non-suspended Black students,…

The Collateral Damage of In-School Suspensions
Even the least severe forms of exclusionary discipline are associated with detrimental effects for students that attend schools that overuse them. With a nationally representative longitudinal study of high school students, we utilize propensity score weighting to limit selection bias associated with schools that issue high numbers of in-school suspensions. Accounting for school social order and individual suspensions, we find that high-suspensio…
The Process of 'Pushing Out
Students drop out of school for a variety of reasons, yet are 'pushed out' when they exhibit traits that are deemed undesirable to school officials, such as misbehavior and academic failure. While much of the previous research on pushouts views the phenomenon as a discrete occurrence often attributed to either misbehavior or academic failure, we recognize the underlying relationships between punishment and achievement, and therefore conceptualize…

Do Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Savings and Job Loss during Covid-19 Explain Disparities in Housing Hardships? A Moderated Mediation Analysis
Despite the array of public programs offered to help households mitigate the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, many still needed to rely on savings, credit, or other assets to make ends meet. This reality may exacerbate existing social and economic inequities because racial and ethnic minorities often have lower access to assets and credit than white households. We use longitudinal national survey data to explore the extent to which diff…

How Did School Meal Access Change during the Covid-19 Pandemic? A Two-Step Floating Catchment Area Analysis of a Large Metropolitan Area
SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) resulted in school closures and contingencies across the U.S. that limited access to school meals for students. While some schools attempted to provide alternative meal access points where students or parents could pick up meals, many students-especially those in low-income households-lacked adequate transportation to these access points. Thus, physical proximity to meal access points was particularly important during the pa…

How Do Perceived Changes in Child and Adolescent Activities Relate to Perceptions of Health during Covid-19? Exploring Heterogeneity during the Pandemic
COVID-19 affected child/adolescent activities (e.g., extra-curricular, screen time), along with physical health (PH) and mental health (MH); however, less is known about the relationship between changes in activities and PH and MH in the United States and how these relationships vary by race/ethnicity. To address this gap, data were used from a national survey (Socio-Economic Impacts of COVID-19 Survey) administered May-June 2021 (n = 853). Multi…
At Home and on the Brink
Though the COVID-19 pandemic required significant changes and adaptations for most Americans, parents faced acute challenges as they had to navigate rapidly changing schooling and child care policies requiring their children to spend more time at home. This study examines the effects of COVID-19 school and workplace policies as well as environmental and economic characteristics on parental mental health, worry, hopelessness, and anxiety. Using da…
Perceptions of School Quality and Student Learning During the Pandemic
Given the inequitable distribution of resources across school, neighborhood, and home contexts in the United States, lower resourced students may have had fewer opportunities to learn during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, which may have caused previous disadvantages to accumulate during the pandemic. Nevertheless, research has yet to comprehensively explore how school, neighborhood, and home contexts— together—relate to perceptions of sch…
