Consortium affiliated researcher @JaredSchachner was recently on The Report Card with Nat Malkus, discussing some findings on the #COVID19 Chicago Connected program.

When Chicago launched the Chicago Connected program to provide free broadband during the pandemic, it aimed to level the playing field for remote learners. But a new study finds the initiative had uneven effects—helping some students while harming others.
“Broadband access improved academic engagement for high-performing students, but had the opposite effect on those who were already struggling,” said Jared N. Schachner, a research scientist at the USC Sol Price Center for Social Innovation.
On the latest episode of The Report Card podcast, Schachner discusses what these findings mean for schools investing in educational technology.

On the latest episode of The Report Card, @natmalkus and @JaredSchachner discuss why increased broadband access during the pandemic reduced engagement and achievement for low-performing students. aei.org/podcast/the-unintend…

This seems like a pretty big finding to understand why inequality in education is increasing:
When high-performing students got broadband in their homes, they learned more.
When low-performing students got broadband in their homes, they learned less.

Does the digital provision of publicly-accessible information on schools’ value-added quality (i.e., their estimated causal effects on student learning) increase or decrease race-based #segregation in both #neighbourhoods and #schools? @JaredSchachner

💫Today we launch the Segregation Explorer!💫
Visualize and download school segregation data for every state, county, metro area, commuting zone, geo school district, and local educational agency in the US since 1991.

My paper with @Marybel08 with recommendations on responsibly using and communicating race and ethnicity concepts in neuroimaging is out in Nature Neuroscience!

Best birthday gift so far!
New pre-print alert from me and @Marybel08 !
In this paper we discuss how, despite being used as "control/nuisance variables", there is still little discussion in neuro spaces on how it is that we operationalize/contextualize #RaceandEthnicity.

Today, I want to express my sincere gratitude to each and every one of you who supported our campaign. Although the results did not turn out as we hoped, our commitment to justice, public safety and sustainable reform remains unwavering.
This campaign was a journey that underscored the importance of our shared values and the work that still needs to be done in our communities. I am proud of what we have accomplished together, and I encourage everyone to continue advocating for the causes we believe in. Thank you for your support, your energy, and your belief in a better future for all.

Excited to share our new preprint describing new linkages in ABCD Release 5.0 detailing social and physical environments that may impact child/ adolescent neural development. We introduce a framework we're calling the "Adolescent Neural Urbanome." 🏢🌳🛣️

Thai is a nice overview (non technical) of the fact-based argument that increased school spending improves child outcomes. While most (including Hanushek) have come around to this conclusion, this short paper is helpful to fix ideas.

My new article just got released in Science Advances today. The article is open access. I try to both describe the nature of America's "systemically high poverty" and review explanations of it.
