Education colleagues: I am partnering with middle- and high-school math teachers in DE, PA, and MD to look at how belonging-supportive instruction shapes students' math experiences (see infographic). Teachers can participate in 2025 or early 2026. Please share w/ teachers who may be interested!

This was such a fun experience with @rodriguesjm.bsky.social Thanks for highlighting our work @jeffgreene.bsky.social !

Oct = SREE PMENA & NCTM! @elenamsilla.bsky.social presents lab work @ PMENA in collab w/@damcotto.bsky.social. @meg-botello.bsky.social presents work w/@drteyar.bsky.social, @mandymathed.bsky.social & Dr. Jordan at NCTM. Lab Alum Dr. @kamalc31.bsky.social presents his UMaine work @ SREE tomorrow!

Are you passionate about use-inspired basic research and RPPs w/ schools + community orgs? Do you want to mentor research trainees at Notre Dame? Apply to be Director of Research Programs for IEI’s Ctr for Educational Research and Action (ERA)! Share widely! jobs.smartrecruiters.com/UniversityOf...

Great time today giving a workshop on working w/worked examples in enVision math to DE math teachers & specialists for the School Success Center at @udelaware.bsky.social. Enjoyed developing the session w/PhD candidates @elenamsilla.bsky.social @meg-botello.bsky.social & Dr. @sarcler.bsky.social

It is difficult to find joy in our work when science is under attack. Today I led a professional learning session for math teachers based on my research w/ @elenamsilla.bsky.social. I also presented stellar grad students (including @sarcler.bsky.social) w/awards for their research. Joy unlocked 🤩

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.

Please amplify!

🚨 📄 JEP pub w/K. Gesuelli, @juliebooth.bsky.social & L. Young. We examine profiles of encoding of algebraic equations in middle school at start- & end-of-year. Fraction computation skill predicted SOY profile. EOY profile related to differential fraction & algebra outcomes. doi.org/10.1037/edu0...

🚨New paper! We provide a balanced approach to discussing context‐level disadvantage and individual‐level agency (a focus of strength‐based research). This approach allows for a broader–a holistic–perspective on existing inequality research. compass.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirec...

🚨 New Pub Alert! 🚨 Check our our new JEP paper examining the Variability in math achievement growth among students w/early MLD & the role of school supports lead by Dr. Kelly-Ann Gesuelli & coauthored by my colleague @damcotto.bsky.social ! psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-...

Incredibly excited about a special issue @chrisrozek.bsky.social and I are editing on SCHOOL BELONGING with Ed Psych Review! 🎉 The first paper is out! Once published, all papers can be found here: link.springer.com/collections/... I’ll update this thread when each article gets posted ⬇️

🚨New Pub on Rough Draft Thinking in Math w/ @mandymathed.bsky.social & @meg-botello.bsky.social! We present 4 studies that show teachers incorporate Rough Draft Math into math classrooms through small, incremental changes to instruction. Check it out - it's open access! www.mdpi.com/2227-7102/14...

Hello BlueSky ed researchers 👋 I research math learning and motivation, like how middle-schoolers feel and experience the math classroom and how their classroom experiences relate to their mathematical thinking. I'm a doctoral student at Delaware & proud #AcaMama. Excited to connect with you all!

We are almost at capacity in this starter pack! Everyone now left to be added will be added to Education Scholars Part II! If I didn’t add you to first one & you want to be added reply to to post! #EducationScholars go.bsky.app/H3QkVDR

I'm still figuring out how to use Bluesky, but sharing a paper seemed like a good time to learn! My paper with @marthaalibali.bsky.social and other amazing people is now available! srcd.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... We explored how 4-12yo US children think about inheritance!
