Properly predicting students' academic performance is crucial for elevating educational outcomes in various disciplines. Through precise performance prediction, schools can quickly pinpoint students facing challenges and provide customized educational materials suited to their specific learning needs. The reliance on teachers' experience to…

Objective: The purpose of this study was to test whether COVID impact interacts with genetic risk (polygenic risk score/PRS) to predict alcohol use disorder (AUD) symptoms. Method: Participants were n = 455 college students (79.6% female, 51% European Ancestry/EA, 24% African Ancestry/AFR, 25% Americas Ancestry/AMER) from a longitudinal study…

Dual enrollment (DE) offers students the opportunity to earn college credits while in high school. Although variation in partnership contexts likely contributes to differences in DE access, structures, and outcomes, the extent of variation across DE partnerships is unclear. To build an understanding of variation in key DE structures and outcomes…

Using data from 12 public universities in North Carolina over a 4-year period, we assess how principal intern characteristics and internship experiences predict entry into the school leader labor market as an assistant principal.
