👋 I'm Danielle, and I'm on the #econjobmarket this year!

Let's start with a student describing her segregated school:

"The school felt temporary. Built like a warehouse with aluminum siding . . . I had a slipshod education"

The twist? The student is white, and her school is private.

RIDE recently released its "Blueprint & Strategic Plan for Differently-Abled Students’ Success."

I spoke with The Brown Daily Herald about some of my 'kudos' and 'questions' regarding the plan.

We pored through more than 900 grants worth $2.6 billion that the Trump administration canceled at Harvard.

“This is larger than any individual grant,” a researcher told us. “What we are losing is a future.”

Are Students on Track? Researchers find the information collected in student longitudinal data systems are better indicators for on-track college completion than the survey-based self-regulation and cognitive measures.

This is highly relevant today. While we can debate the merits of specific 'DEI' policies—some may indeed be misguided—it’s undeniable that racial discrimination persists in this country. The evidence is clear for those willing to engage with it!

This is an urgent and deeply important issue.

I had the opportunity to work with Education Resource Strategies on its “Reimagining the Teaching Job” initiative.

I encourage folks to check out the linked resources so we can help teachers to help kids.💡

As I am now handling papers at AEJ:Policy again, I want to encourage authors of papers that identify partial equilibrium effects to consider (in a rigorous manner) how they relate to policy effects or general equilibrium effects.

2025 has the makings of a very interesting year for education policy:

1. Trump admin
2. NAEP ‘24 results
3. Enrollment declines & school closures
4. School choice expansion
5. High school redesign

I’m particularly intrigued by the high school redesign conversations given their breadth.

Thoughts?
