I have felt for a long time that student mobility – that is, students having to regularly transfer to new schools, often because of their family’s housing insecurity – has been an overlooked cause of student academic challenges.
I’ve previously written about it at Student Mobility and Another Study Highlights The Impact Of Moving On Student Academic Progress.
A new study, not behind a paywall, gives attention to this issue. Check out Does School Context Moderate the Relationship between Student Mobility and Academic Performance? Longitudinal Evidence from Missouri.
The Best Places To Learn What Impact A Teacher (& Outside Factors) Have On Student Achievement shares even more research on these outside-of-school factors, and highlights why we have to organize around socio-economic conditions and not just on explicitly ed policy issues.
