Richard Ingersoll discusses the lack of diversity in teaching. “It’s not enough to recruit,” he said. “If we don’t improve retention, I’m not optimistic for closing the gap.”
Looking at the supply chain of higher education
"Higher Ed has always been efficient, but only for a certain segment of the population," Ross Aikins told The Supply Change podcast, in a conversation about access, inequality, tuition hurdles and more.
Wendy Chan was awarded $25,000 by the American Educational Research Association for the project “The Generalizability of Deeper Learning Using Small Area Estimation.” In an extension to the earlier Study of Deeper Learning by the American Institutes for Research, Dr. Chan will use hierarchical Bayesian models to estimate the generalized impact of the deeper learning approaches on the proportion of on-time graduation rates among high school students in California and New York. This study is the first to generalize the impacts of deeper learning and to apply small area estimation methods to generalization when the small areas are defined using a generalizability index.
