FP-25-07 Same-sex Married and Cohabiting Couples Raising Children, 2023
Using data from the 2023 American Community Survey (ACS), this Family Profile estimates the proportion of same- and different-sex couples raising children, disaggregated by relationship type (i.e., cohabiting or married) and age (i.e., 18-29, 30-39, 40-49, and 50-59). For this analysis, children are defined as biological, adopted, or stepchildren of the household head1 under the age of eighteen. Couples’ sex composition is coded directly using the recently revised household roster (Kreider & Gurrentz, 2019). To focus on couples raising minor children, we restrict our sample to those in which the younger member is under the age of sixty. This report updates Family Profiles FP-21-08 (Manning & Payne, 2021) and FP-24-05 (Westrick-Payne & Manning, 2024)
Deconstructing ideological habits: An analysis of an antiracist place-based education course
White teachers enter culturally and racially diverse urban classrooms ill-prepared to teach. The resulting cultural mismatch contributes to educational disparities, including academic gaps and punitive imparities. Teacher education programs\u27 attempts to address the gaps intend to immunize young teachers to the effects of implicit bias. However, the efforts do little to help teachers recognize how their implicit bias, in the form of ideological habits, created the need for a culturally responsive curriculum in the first place.
As part of a larger project, this study deconstructed three reflective essays assigned during an introductory place-based education course. The post-structural analysis used a critical race theoretical lens focused on ideological habits. The findings revealed that participants demonstrate racialized associations promoting white supremacist thinking. However, the longitudinal analysis demonstrated participation in the critical place-based learning course with antiracist underpinnings influenced the participants\u27 progression toward recognizing and dismantling ideological habits that reproduce biased ideologies
Using Social Emotional Learning to Connect Social Awareness and Classic Literature
The following case study explores how social-emotional learning (SEL) teaching strategies enhance seventh-grade students’ engagement with classic literature during English Language Arts (ELA) class. Using S.E. Hinton’s classic novella The Outsiders as a foundation for this research, this study examines whether SEL-based lesson plans help adolescents make deeper connections between literature and their own lives. Two groups of students were compared in the study: one group received traditional, comprehension-based instruction, while the other participated in SEL-based assessments, encouraging perspective-taking and personal reflection. This study utilizes qualitative assessments like character analysis, reflection, and surveys to affirm that students who are exposed to SEL implementations demonstrate deeper empathy for characters, an increased connection to the text, and stronger comprehension. These findings suggest that intentionally incorporating SEL-based teaching and instructional strategies into ELA curriculum and across content areas fosters richer learning, providing opportunities for meaningful personal growth and emotional literacy among adolescents. This student-centered approach helps facilitate increased student engagement and motivation in school, aiding in school morale and performance

Toledo Private High Schools: An Analysis of Marketing Strategies
Having a better understanding of private education is vital in a country where research on private schools outside of school choice literature is limited. This research aims to gain a deeper understanding of the marketing strategies employed by Toledo private high schools, thereby enhancing our comprehension of the local education market and its broader implications. This study will delve into the websites of three prominent Toledo private high schools: one Catholic, one Christian/Religious, and one secular school. To better understand these websites and schools, marketing and education-related literature regarding marketing strategies and private education is reviewed. Additionally, to better understand each school in the study, its website will be analyzed for its specific philosophy, promises made, statistics, and promotional images. Finally, schools\u27 marketing strategies are analyzed and compared. Each school was found to have similar marketing tactics and promises, differing primarily in their specific educational and spiritual philosophy
A Wildfire of a Thousand Words: Teaching Students How to Combat Pseudoscience in 2025
When it comes to the modern age classroom, the world which both the students and teachers live in is filled to the brim with misinformation. Particularly, this misinformation comes in the form of pseudoscience, which showcases wrongfully applying scientific evidence to nonscientific phenomena. At the same time, there seemed to be a lack of understanding revolving around how this information could be wrong, especially given it has a basis in and can be spread further by the misuse of artificial intelligence. However, this project serves as a step stone towards potentially finding the means to help teach students the issue of pseudoscience in a matter that engages all students in the form of creating a lesson plan. This lesson plan has a basis not just in the theories of constructivist and behaviorist thought, but also in the form of applying modern day technology tools like Canva and chatbots in order to best help students of all ability groups the issue of pseudoscience in ways to best combat it through digital citizenship skills like research skills. Alongside this, a heavy focus is spent on collaboration in the classroom, especially through group work fit for students of all accommodations. Overall, a key focus is spent not just on developing the means which students can best combat the issue of pseudoscience, but likewise also create a means for them to practice skills revolving around using modern day technology in the science classroom
