Achievement goals are associated with varied students' outcomes, such as academic achievement and well-being. Exploring factors shaping adolescents' achievement goals, such as perceptions of significant others' goals, may benefit efforts to advance positive student outcomes. Prior research focuses on perceived teacher goals and considerably less…

Teacher implementation of evidence-based practices (EBPs) is critical for student success, yet a gap remains between research to practice. Two EBPs that specifically promote student engagement and positive behavior are specific praise (BSP) and active student responding (OTR). Unfortunately, many classroom teachers, specifically pre-service…

Purpose: There is some evidence to suggest that the historical challenge associated with recruiting and retaining Black and Brown Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) collegians is tied to early their teaching and learning experiences in Mathematics. This paper describes an National Science Foundation (NSF) funded project (NSF…
