For our first study on increasing preschool attendance (pre-COVID) called "Show Up to Grow Up" or SUGU, our research team employed novel measures of parental beliefs and attitudes at the time, including time preference. https://lnkd.in/gJttb2dD We have used these measures throughout many subsequent studies. In SUGU, we find our intervention increased attended days by 2.5 (0.15 standard deviations) and decreased chronic?absenteeism?by 9.3 percentage points (20%) over an 18-week period. Our results suggest that the treatment impact is stronger among those in the bottom?quantiles?of the attendance distribution. Novel survey measures collected at baseline suggest that SUGU made the importance of preschool more salient to parents who initially reported lower expectations for attendance, weaker beliefs about the importance of attendance to their children’s development, and higher present bias.?Our new work to address modern barriers to school attendance is under way!

How do universities leverage their diverse strengths to contribute to regional prosperity?

#ICYMI The Higher Ed Equity Network has released a new case study, How Institutions Can Increase Social Mobility for Key Populations through Strategic Data Use. The case study, produced by network support partner HCM Strategists, surfaces barriers that impede institutions’ ability to establish strong data use practices and culture. It also highlights bright spots of high-impact data practices at various institution types, including #HBCUs, #HSIs, and #NASNTIs. Hear from Institute for Higher Education Policy's Diane Cheng and American Institutes for Research's Alexandria Walton Radford, leaders of the network's task group focused on data use to support better economic mobility for Black, Latino/a/x, and Indigenous students, as they talk about key findings from the case study that are informing strategies and next steps for this work.
