I have become a bit obsessed with sitting on my back deck having the Cornell Merlin bird ID app tell me who my winged friends are nearby based on sound. I encourage folks to try it! Awesomely distracting.

And, magically, NSF reached out today.

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!
