Artificial Intelligence and Social Policy Decision-Making: A Cultural Transformation

Presentation summary
This interactive presentation will discuss the recent applications of artificial intelligence on large amounts of non-traditional forms of data in education and public policy, and how these applications can significantly enhance traditional forms of research. Natural language processing (NLP), a form of artificial intelligence, can determine themes in bodies of text (i.e., words) and categorize items according to those themes. These items can include research articles, site visit notes, entire websites, and social media posts. Predictive analytics, another form of artificial intelligence, can predict outcomes to often high accuracy and generalizability when enough data are trained and tested. Abt Associates is using both NLP and predictive analytics to more efficiently and thoroughly analyze current streams of data, and this brown bag will present applications from several different research areas, including education policy. The presenter will also discuss broader cultural shifts in data science that are currently occurring in the greater policy research industry.

Bio
Sung-Woo Cho, Ph.D., is the Co-Director of the Digital Transformations Center and head of the Applied Innovations in Artificial Intelligence (AI)2 group at Abt Associates. His main areas of interest are in artificial intelligence applications in policy decision-making, research design and evaluation, and workforce training, particularly within community colleges. He created and oversees the Abt Data Science Fellowship, a company-wide initiative that trains employees in machine learning programming using Python, with a focus on natural language processing, predictive analytics, deep learning, and computer vision.

Sung-Woo received his Ph.D. in economics and education from Columbia University, and his B.A. in public policy and economics from Stanford University. He lives in the Washington, DC area with his wife, daughter, and dog.

Presentation: The Effects of Principal-Teacher Demographic Matching on Teacher Turnover in North Carolina

Abstract
A growing awareness of the influential role that teachers of color play for minority students has sparked interest in the efficacy of various strategies to improve the recruitment and retention of minority teachers. Given the already low representation of teachers of color in schools serving large proportions of black and Latino students, understanding the correlates of teacher attrition is key to developing supportive education policies to minimize teacher departure in those schools serving at-risk populations. This study uses a linear probability model with school fixed effects to investigate the role of principal-teacher demographic matching in the likelihood of teacher turnover decisions. We find evidence that being race-matched with a principal leads to lower rates of teacher turnover. Impacts are larger for teachers of color, compared to white teachers. We do not find a relationship between being gender-matched with a school leader and whether a teacher changes jobs over this time period. Furthermore, we report insignificant findings associated with a gender match. Policy implications are discussed.

Bio
Dr. Constance A. Lindsay is an Assistant Professor of Education Leadership at UNC Chapel Hill. Lindsay earned a doctorate in human development and social policy from Northwestern University, where she was an Institute of Education Sciences' predoctoral fellow. Since leaving Northwestern, Lindsay has worked in education policy in various contexts, applying her research training in traditional studies and in creating and evaluating new systems and policies regarding teachers, and using large administrative datasets. Lindsay's areas of expertise include teacher quality and diversity, analyzing and closing racial achievement gaps, and adolescent development. Her work has been published in such journals as Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis and Social Science Research. Lindsay received a bachelor's degree in economics from Duke University and master's degree in public policy from Georgetown University. Before doctoral study at Northwestern, she was a Presidential Management Fellow at the US Department of Education.

Presentation: Lord's Paradox and its manifestation in latent variable modeling

Abstract

The main focus of this talk is on the Lord's paradox within the latent variable modeling framework. Lord's paradox arises from the conflicting inferences obtained from two alternative approaches that are typically used in evaluating the treatment effect using a pre-post test design. The two main approaches for analyzing such data are: (1) to regress the change from pretest to posttest on the treatment indicator; and (2) to regress posttest on treatment indicator and pretest. Yet, these two approaches can yield conflicting results-hence the paradox. Lord (1967) warned of this problem decades ago and started a debate that continues to the present day. In this talk, I elaborate on both of these approaches and examine the appropriateness of each for analyzing a treatment effect. I also elaborate on how both of these approaches can be used within the structural equation modeling framework. In an empirical example, I investigate, using both approaches, whether the treatment-a new mathematics curriculum-had an effect on student-level outcomes.

50 Years of Research in the College of Education: Project Follow-Through, Distinguished Panel of Speakers and Reception

Location

2:30 pm - 4:30 pm Panel
4:30 pm - 6:30 pm Reception

The College of Education at the University of Oregon is birthplace to a host of nationally and internationally impactful educational programs, products, and practices. Project Follow-Through, a project dedicated to the (then) revolutionary concept that all students can learn, was once considered the most extensive educational experiment. Follow-Through and its group of intrepid young researchers arrived at the University of Oregon's doors in 1969 and would shape the tone and pave the culture for generations of researchers to follow. We will also take this opportunity to reflect on the accomplishments of emeriti faculty that influenced each Department within the COE and highlight their many accomplishments for the field.

In honor of the 50th anniversary of the arrival of Project Follow-Through, the University of Oregon's College of Education will host a panel of renowned experts to discuss the 50-year culture of research in the college. The panel will discuss the research history that was born from Project Follow-Through, its impact on educational pedagogy, its national and international reach, and its impact on the face of education overall.

Speakers include Doug Carnine, David Chard, Beth Harn, Colt Gill, and Russell Gersten
