Sjogren, Ashlee L.; Bae, Christine L.; Deutsch, Nancy L.; Zumbrunn, Sharon; Broda, Michael – Applied Developmental Science, 2022
Engagement in afterschool programs is a growing area of interest for both researchers and practitioners. Though there is an emerging body of research investigating this construct, we lack an understanding of how specific dimensions of engagement are endorsed in different ways among subgroups of students. Little is known about the sources and…

Kogachi, Kara; Graham, Sandra – Child Development, 2020
This study examined the effects of racial/ethnic segregation (i.e., overrepresentation) in academic classes on belonging, fairness, intergroup attitudes, and achievement across middle school (n = 4,361; M[subscript age T1] = 11.33 years), and whether effects depended on numerical minority status in school and race/ethnicity. Latent growth curve…

Angela G. M. Klinger – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The problem of disproportionality in special education is complex and requires an investigation of multiple factors related to racial, ethnic, linguistic, and socioeconomic backgrounds, school context, and family characteristics. Researchers have debated whether language minority (LM) students are under or overrepresented in special education, but…

Dotterer, Aryn M. – Social Psychology of Education: An International Journal, 2022
Racial and ethnic achievement gaps contribute to the lack of underrepresented minorities in STEM-related careers. This research is grounded in the expectancy-value model of achievement motivation which posits that motivation is influenced by social-cognitive variables such as self-efficacy and beliefs about the usefulness or utility of the task.…

Peter Hull; Joshua Angrist; Parag Pathak; Christopher R. Walters; Talia Gerstle; Russell Legate-Yang – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2022
Background/Context: Many states, school districts, and third-party platforms report measures of school performance. Such school ratings are widely consulted by parents and educators alike. The ratings appear to affect families' choices of where to live and where to enroll students (Bergman and Hill, 2018; Hasan and Kumar, 2019), as well as…

Girvan, Erik J.; McIntosh, Kent; Santiago-Rosario, Maria R. – School Psychology Review, 2021
This study examined the extent to which disparities in Black and White students' risks of receiving office discipline referrals (ODRs), and out-of-school suspensions (OSSs) were related to differences in implicit and explicit racial biases assessed at the community level. The sample consisted of discipline records for 1,354,010 students enrolled…

Angela Johnson; Megan Kuhfeld; Greg King – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2020
This study presents a framework that uses academic trajectories in the middle grades for identifying students in need of intervention and providing targeted support. We apply a set of academic college readiness benchmarks to rich longitudinal data for more than 360,000 students in 5900 schools across 49 states and the District of Columbia. In both…

Bal, Aydin; Betters-Bubon, Jennifer; Fish, Rachel E. – Education and Urban Society, 2019
Racial minority youth are disproportionally removed from their learning environment due to school discipline and placed in special education for emotional disturbance. These disparities continue to trouble families, educators, and policy makers, particularly within urban schools. Yet there is a paucity of research on how behavioral outcome…

Whitaker, Kelly; Nicodimos, Semret; Pullmann, Michael D.; Duong, Mylien T.; Bruns, Eric J.; Wasse, Jessica Knaster; Lyon, Aaron R. – School Mental Health, 2018
Despite promising evidence that school-based health centers (SBHCs) and school mental health (SMH) services can reduce disparities in access to mental health care for underserved populations, little is known about what predicts retention of youth in SMH services. This study aimed to identify individual- and school-level factors associated with…

Hinojosa, Trisha; Rapaport, Amie; Jaciw, Andrew; Zacamy, Jenna – Regional Educational Laboratory Southwest, 2016
The number of jobs in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) is growing rapidly and is expected to increase by approximately 1 million in the United States between 2012 and 2022 (Vilorio, 2014). People of many racial/ethnic minorities, however, including Hispanic people, are underrepresented among recipients of STEM degrees and among…

Borman, Trisha; Rapaport, Amie; Jaciw, Andrew; LiCalsi, Christina; Zacamy, Jenna – Regional Educational Laboratory Southwest, 2016
Regional Educational Laboratory Southwest conducted this literature review to identify malleable factors that can be measured in K-12 settings and that predict students' postsecondary science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) success (defined as enrolling in, persisting in, and completing a postsecondary STEM major or degree), particularly…

Dika, Sandra L.; Alvarez, Jaquelina; Santos, Jeannette; Suárez, Oscar Marcelo – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2016
Interest in engineering at early stages of the educational career is one important precursor to choosing to study engineering in college, and engineering-related clubs are designed to foster such interest and diversify the engineering pipeline. In this study, the researchers employed a social cognitive career theory framework to examine level of…

Balfanz, Robert; Byrnes, Vaughan; Fox, Joanna – Journal of Applied Research on Children, 2014
This study is based upon a longitudinal analysis of data for a cohort of 181,897 Florida state students who were first time 9th graders in the 2000-01 school year and follows them trough to high school and post-secondary outcomes. Analysis of 9th grade suspension data finds that black students, students who are economically disadvantaged, and…

Warne, Russell T. – Gifted Child Quarterly, 2014
Above-level testing is the practice of administering aptitude or academic achievement tests that are designed for typical students in higher grades or older age-groups to gifted or high-achieving students. Although widely accepted in gifted education, above-level testing has not been subject to careful psychometric scrutiny. In this study, I…

Martinez, Andrew; McMahon, Susan D.; Treger, Stan – Journal of Emotional and Behavioral Disorders, 2016
Research has widely documented the over-representation of office disciplinary referrals (ODRs) among specific student groups (e.g., African American, boys). Despite extant research documenting individual-level predictors of ODRs, few studies have accounted for the nested structure of the settings in which these events occur. Guided by critical…
