Research suggests that building strong school leadership may help address declining student achievement and educator turnover. To study the issue, Roger Goddard, the Novice G. Fawcett Professor in Education Administration, and Minjung Kim, associate professor of quantitative research, evaluation and measurement, will study the impact of the widely used Balanced Leadership for Student Learning™ on educator and student outcomes. They will work with the study’s principal investigator Tedra Clark, PhD, of McREL International, on the four-year project.

Economic insecurity in older age can reduce the ability to cope with a costly disease and exacerbate racial health disparities. This study asks: How do different sources of financial resources associate with the control of type-2 diabetes, a common chronic condition in older age? We construct a new panel dataset that links electronic health records to employment and credit data for a sample of older adults in Ohio from 2018-2022. We identify how wage earnings, access to credit, and debt are related to diabetes control and disability-related complications. We expect the association between financial resources and diabetes control to be stronger for economically vulnerable groups who are more dependent on Social Security retirement benefits.
