We use data from Michigan and an interrupted time series (ITS) strategy to show how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted new special education classifications and discontinuations. We find a substantial decrease in K-5 classifications and discontinuations during the 2019-20 and 2020-21 school years. Classifications fell by 19 and 12 percent in these years, respectively, with smaller but still significant reductions in discontinuations. Districts with remote schooling and Black, Asian, and economically disadvantaged students saw larger decreases in classifications. While rates returned to trend in 2021-22, there was little "catch up" beyond that to make up for these delays, suggesting that as of that year many students had not yet gained access to services for which they may be eligible.

Spanish conjugation tables can be quite dry and boring, but they don’t have to be! Need-to-Know Spanish Verbs presents them in a fun and colorful way, using a layout inspired by mind maps. With these ‘mind map’ tables, you can see at a glance all the different ways to conjugate a verb in Spanish. They’re easy to follow and understand, and they’ll help you memorize the conjugations more quickly and efficiently. Inside, you’ll find tables for the fifty most common, essential verbs used in Spanish today. Each table is followed by a guide to the verb’s meaning and usage and also exercises to help you master the conjugations and use them correctly in context. Both the conjugation tables and the exercises appear on the accompanying audio tracks. The exercises are aimed at elementary and intermediate learners who have some previous knowledge of Spanish grammar and how to use various verb tenses. But even beginning learners will find the tables and audio tracks useful to gain a solid foundation in Spanish by memorizing common verb forms needed in everyday communication.

This explorative collection resounds as a first-hand account of experiences and visions that offer powerful responses to such questions, found in the diverse writings of Kathleen Alcalá, Juan Alvarado Valdivia, Carmen Baca, Norma Burgos-Vázquez, Vanessa Caraveo, poet Robert René Galván, Nisé Guzmán Nekheba, Ernest Hogan, Maria Nieto, Matthew Olivas, Violeta Orozco, Álvaro Ramírez, Edel Romay, Dionisio Salazar, David Vela and Rosa Martha Villarreal. ¿Together, engaging a variety of genres, each of the contributors enables the reader to shatter the lens that corporate media has superimposed over Raza narratives, and reclaim the storylines. In doing so, la Raza's own reality shines forth in ways that only Raza writers can illuminate. Our Creative Realidades presents provocative and revealing insights, frameworks, and understandings, creating imaginative space for change, speaking directly to the many complex realities of Raza. The unique writings in this anthology convey a perspective of la Raza that is distinctive because it captures our legacy from the past, and our vision of the future: a bright future in which Raza not only exist, but thrive. It is our creative reality at work.

The dead are rising -- but they aren't your garden-variety zombies. Dr. John Requin becomes the center of a cultural zeitgeist, the unwilling eye of a social hurricane in a book that redefines the undead in a bizarre cocktail of black humor, political satire, and family drama.

This paper shows empirically that the non-employment effects of unemployment insurance (UI) for older workers depend in a first-order way on the structure of retirement policies. Using German data, we first present reduced-form evidence of these interactions, documenting large bunching in UI inflows at the age that allows workers to claim their pension following UI expiration. We then estimate a dynamic life-cycle model and use it to directly quantify how the effects of UI vary with retirement policies. Accounting for interactions across UI and retirement institutions also helps explain otherwise difficult-to-explain trends in the unemployment rate of older German workers.
