💫 What happens when you ask teachers to communicate high expectations? In an experiment with 963 teachers, their feedback became more detailed, but girls got more negative ability comments and White boys weren't pushed for more effort. @copur_gencturk doi.org/10.3102/0013189X2614… 💫
💥💥 Does providing teachers with personalized feedback and ref-text help them overcome math-gender misconceptions? Only if they have misconceptions to begin with, otherwise, it can backfire! Check out new work from Dersch, Eitel, and me: rdcu.be/e2nHQ

Last year, our School of Data Science partnered with H-E-B and United Way of San Antonio and Bexar County to provide students with a paid, hands-on experience working with community non-profits. The goal was to advance students’ academic success and career readiness while making an impact in the San Antonio community. Now in its second year, the Data Science & AI Community Innovation Scholars program promises to take these opportunities to the next level. 🤩

We just released a new video on how teacher stereotypes and expectations can impact a student’s math placement and feedback–and what teachers can do about it! Check it out below and let us know what you can do about bias in your classroom.

New theory paper theorizing how motivation science can inform diversity trainings, with an emphasis on SDT and motivational interviewing. Really interesting ideas! Curious to see how they would pan out in direct studies testing them in practice.
