Carvalhaes' scholarship examines inequalities in the Brazilian educational system, the transition from school to work, processes of higher education expansion, among other subjects. Currently, Flavio works with graduate students and Brazilian civil servants from the Ministry of Education to adopt administrative and register data to use in sociological research. He is looking at both the supply and demand for higher education to produce innovative research that can inform policies regarding the regulation of higher education in Brazil as well as how access to this segment of the educational system can become less unequal.

Tuesday, March 7
12–1 p.m.
CID Studio (ISR 2030)

Lunch will be provided to in-person attendees. Please save your seat by registering to attend. This is a hybrid event, and details to join virtually are available once the registration form is completed.

The NEWEST College and Beyond II data has been released.

College and Beyond II (CBII) is a new data resource for studying the impact and outcomes of higher education. It contains student record and transcript data on bachelor’s-seeking undergraduates enrolled from 2000-2021 at 19 public colleges across seven university systems. In total, CBII contains data on over 1 million students. These data are linked to qualitative data on course content, survey data on long-term life outcomes, National Student Clearinghouse data on educational attainment, and more. College and Beyond II was produced by a team of researchers from the University of Michigan and supported by a grant from The Mellon Foundation.

NSF launches prize challenge to develop innovative learning technologies for K-12 students

The Visionary Interdisciplinary Teams Advancing Learning (VITAL) Prize Challenge will focus on providing interdisciplinary teams the funding and training to build K-12 learning technology innovations at speed and scale for adoption nationwide. The challenge will be composed of four progressive steps:

  1. Concept Paper: A concept paper is submitted by any interested team;
  2. Discovery Round: An invitational opportunity for approximately 100 teams, chosen from those submitting Concept Papers, to participate in customer discovery activities;
  3. Semi-Final Round: Approximately 55 teams are partnered with an educational mentor (e.g., K-12 teacher) for prototype design, feasibility testing, and initial development activities; and
  4. Final Round: Approximately 35 teams will conduct prototype development and validation, culminating with a Pitch Session.

Teams applying to the VITAL Prize Challenge will submit concept papers to one of three K-12 technology translation tracks, depending on the anticipated application, end user, and area of impact: Rapid and Continuous Learning Assessment; Mathematical Literacy to Promote a Future STEM Workforce; or Other Innovations in Translational Learning Technologies. More details can be found in the VITAL Dear Colleague Letter or on the VITAL Prize Challenge webpage.
