Finishing off with a picture of my 4.5 year old puppers who will most certainly demand belly rubs, scritches, and cuddles from our new postdoc hires.
FAQs: This position will be **in person** 3 days/wk at the newly renovated Stanford GSE campus. We're aiming for at least one, likely two postdoc hires. Qual + quant both welcome. Strong candidates will demonstrate commitment to educational equity and systems change in their materials.
Postdocs will join a fun, highly collaborative, and hard-working group. Highly recommend engaging with any of our @nssaccelerator.bsky.social team members @jilli-jung.bsky.social @melissadgentry.bsky.social @helzhou.bsky.social
Postdocs are an invaluable part of our team. In addition to deepening their own expertise/skills, our postdocs have the opportunity to lead research projects from start to finish, build partnerships with districts/providers, and engage with other researchers (both pre- & post-PhD) on our team.
Using my first Bsky post real estate to say... our 25-26 SY postdoc applications are ✨now open✨!
Our postdocs work with Professor Susanna Loeb and the research team at the SCALE Initiative

Shouting into the twittersphere to ask whether anyone who's attending #AERA23 has more info about childcare for infants?? It obviously has not been offered since 2019 but that's all I can figure out. no replies so far from the (presumably very busy) conference team 🙃

We at @AnnenbergInst published a short paper on how we managed to assess Head Start children via Zoom (!) during the pandemic!
@leiahjgthomas put literal blood, sweat, and tears into this work and it turned out phenomenally. Go take a read!

Many thanks to @weilanch for helpful feedback on an earlier version of these findings, plus #aefp2022 session attendees for listening ears!
+ Huge hat tip to my tireless coauthors @KathleenNLynch @loeb_susanna, and others at @AnnenbergInst, the nicest place to work 🥰

TAKEAWAY 2⃣: HOWEVER, our Head Start kids made learning gains in exec function, literacy, and numeracy that are comparable to what they would've learned in a typical pre-pandemic year. 6/n
TAKEAWAY 1⃣: Our Head Start kids attended FAR fewer days of school during a pandemic-affected year. Kids who started in in-person HS attended 13 days/month in-person.
^ should be 20ish/mth if attending everyday.
FYI, this is also far below avg pre-pandemic attendance rates. 5/n
(During the assessment year, our kids chose b/w attending in-person VS. virtual. In-person was the same as before plus COVID protocols.
Virtual kids' caregivers received recs for learning apps and offers to meet weekly on Zoom.📱
But NO enforcement, learning checks, etc.)
4/n
We all know COVID severely disrupted schooling - but weren't sure what we'd find with our littlest learners.
We randomly assessed 336 Head Start kids across four states 3x in a year via Zoom.
Yes, we got 3/4 yr olds to sit with us on Zoom. Nope, NOT an April fool's joke 🤡
