I will be teaching my first college-level course this spring!

Thank you for having me @allisonmaster.bsky.social! It was a blast to get to discuss such insightful questions with amazing scholars!

applying for jobs at R1s and R2s, AERA trends, whether Carlton has a meta-analysis for that (the answer is always yes), the impostor phenomenon, re-imaging motivational theories, how mixing theories can be like opening a fusion restaurant, and finding time to stay on top of reading papers. ♥️(2/2)

It was @carltonfong.bsky.social day today in Achievement Motivation! 🤩 I brought him in to talk about self-regulation and engagement, but we also asked lots of questions about measurement non-invariance, latent profile analyses, self-consequating and help-seeking, ... (1/2)

We talked about control-value theory today in Achievement Motivation, so we brought back this art activity (see thread below). @summerrobinson.bsky.social's "Yay! Motivation!" drawing took home the competitive prize, although @tjroyuh.bsky.social's doodled ghost was adorable. @aeratepsig.bsky.social

We had a great discussion about classroom barriers, safe classroom climates where we aren't afraid of making mistakes, emotions, and things that affect our outcome and efficacy expectations. Also, we all loved Summer's Lego cat! 🥰

Return of Ben Heddy's Lego self-efficacy activity today in Achievement Motivation class! Students built a Lego set with 1) the box and the instructions, 2) just the box but no instructions, or 3) no box AND no instructions. @tjroyuh.bsky.social @summerrobinson.bsky.social @zachbaquet.bsky.social

Then on September 24th, let's continue to engineer a brighter future at our #NCWITTeamUp webinar! Join us to explore and engage with practical, ready-to-use resources that inspire students to explore STEM education and careers: ncwit.org/event/back-to-school-with-ncwit-k-12-program-workshop

It is remarkable to see how down to earth "famous researchers" are. I am so thankful for these opportunities!

It is always a treat to have Allan Wigfield come chat with students in my Achievement Motivation seminar! @tjroyuh.bsky.social @zachbaquet.bsky.social @summerrobinson.bsky.social @aera-motsig.bsky.social (1/4)

@summerrobinson.bsky.social wrote a conference submission for AERA analyzing how different intro STEM courses predict STEM degree attainment for 52,000 students in Texas.

I am excited to be presenting at #WTCS2025 next week! @weteachcs.bsky.social @allisonmaster.bsky.social

I love seeing all the life (professional and personal) that happened over the past year with members of our lab! 💜

My first AERA conference was an incredible experience!! Excited for the projects we are working on for next year!

Joining the terminated NSF grant club today 🙋🏻‍♀️😬

Such a great experience!

Summer Robinson, University of Houston, @summerrobinson.bsky.social. "I enjoy helping others understand that education goes beyond the curriculum and pedagogical practices. As a former K-12 grade educator, I experienced firsthand the importance of creating a classroom culture...

I am excited to be presenting @allisonmaster.bsky.social's research on belonging in CS at HOU's Coding Computer Science Conference this Saturday (Feb 1st). This is a free event for anyone who happens to be in the greater Houston area this weekend!

Yes! Great context from @summerrobinson.bsky.social. 👇👇👇

How can we promote girls’ sense of belonging computer science? Based on a recent publication in the Journal of Research on Technology in Education. Shout out to graduate student Summer Robinson, who created the next three as part of her work on our NSF grant! (3/12) uh.edu/education/ia...
