My department is hiring an assistant professor of educational psychology who researches and teaches motivation in schools! My contact info is in the job posting, please reach out if you have any questions. www.ugajobsearch.com/postings/440...

And, magically, NSF reached out today.

Thanks. Good to hear that payments are being made.

Question for NSF grantees that were terminated in April: has NSF paid the final invoice? We submitted an invoice on May 22 and have heard nothing after multiple follow ups. Suggestions, anyone? #NSF

So happy for you!

And a single existing contract to Westat for the international studies addresses all of the other tasks (e.g. item development) that had been contracted out to others. Concerning.

In case you hadn’t seen, here is ED’s filing from June 5 about their plans for each of the cancelled IES contracts (filed in connection with the AERA/SREE lawsuit): storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I imagine that any manuals produced for Optimal Design or PowerUp! would be great resources. The discrepancy in SEs between the intercept in a RE model and pop mean model would certainly depend on the level of the ICC.

Hey, #STEM Ed Researchers who want to up your quant/stats/measurement game, I’m sorry, but #NSF decided to terminate our methods institute program. I am thankful for the nearly 100 scholars with whom our mentor team has worked! Peace out.

I’m teaching a grad class on K12 Education Policy this summer. It’s only taught once every three years, so it’s time for an update. What should future education leaders know about all the changes that are going on? I’m looking for academic articles, long reads, book chapters, videos, etc. Thanks!

Chaos and confusion as the statistics arm of the Education Department is reduced to a skeletal staff of 3 Acting stats chief booted after only 15 days in the job; fate of the Nation’s Report Card unclear

“The Institute of Education Sciences (IES) is now left with fewer than 20 federal employees, down from more than 175 at the start of the second Trump administration. It’s not clear how IES can operate or even fulfill its statutory obligations set by Congress.” hechingerreport.org/proof-points...

And some datasets are ONLY available through restricted avenues. Taxpayers, you just paid mightily to learn about the experiences of 6th graders as they moved on to 8th grade, a key developmental window. And now no one can learn from those data that you paid for.

I’ve decided that I feel grief. I’ve used and studied modeling methods with NCES data since 1992. That’s 33 years. I’m sorry for all of those grieving with me, especially for those who have lost their livelihoods with it. It’s just wrong.

Oh, and here’s my answer. Thank you, AERA.

Congratulations, Jing!

So, a question: for those entities that hold restricted data licenses with an MOU signed w NCES, this SSO wants to know: 1) is it now a free-for-all with these data? Or 2) you should use cease and desist any analysis because there is no longer a suppression review approval mechanism?

I’m so sorry, Betsy. (And everyone else!)

Watch the Crab 5 instead!

Hope you feel better! Thanks for helping with grant proposal #3!

Thinking of all those educational researchers who may find themselves unemployed soon. I hope this could be a silver lining of the #EduSky storm.

It's not too late! Join me to learn how NOT to write poor survey items. Think it is easy to tap into what people think or what they have done? Think again, my friend... only $95 for full-time students to spend Valentine's with me.... umd-cilvr.catalog.instructure.com/courses/item...

FYI, no IES PI meeting this week!

Thanks for this thread! Quite enjoyable; feels like the old Twitter days…
