Congratulations @molly-taylor26.bsky.social on winning the Pintrich award! @aeradivcgrad.bsky.social @aeratepsig.bsky.social

Attending #AERA as a graduate student for the last time, I’m leaving with gratitude, courage, and hope. The community is stronger when we stick together. ❤️ See some of you at #SRCD25.

See you there! @aeradivcgrad.bsky.social

At #AERA2025? Come check out the Math Methods and Motivation Lab's ongoing projects! I will be presenting some of my dissertation research at the MotSIG In-Progress Research Roundtable on Saturday 4/26 at 11:40, and would love to see you there! @aera-motsig.bsky.social.

I’m going to give my FIRST talk ever at AERA tomorrow morning during a Div C symposium on parents’ academic socialization. Thinking about presenting the study closet to my heart to the audience to which I call academic family hypes me up! Come and find out what I’ve been working on!

Good morning, @aera-motsig.bsky.social friends! Check out the wonderful offerings we have on the program today. Also, good news: there are FOUR tickets left for the social tonight--all SIG members, including students, can now purchase them. Act fast before they're gone!

🎓 Proud to share that I’ve successfully defended my dissertation and am now officially Dr. Agustín J. García! As a first-gen student, this milestone is more than a title — it’s the culmination of my @txst.edu journey and my parents’ belief in the power of education. #FirstGenPhD #HigherEd

How do you write a piece specifically about advancing theory in learning and instruction? ✍️📚
