This literature review highlights the invisibility that these students endure as false assumptions…

Due to the barriers and trauma that many Black women experience during their educational journey, they are among the most underrepresented groups in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) pipeline (Alfred et al., 2019; Collins et al., 2020; Fouad et al., 2017).

The number of students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in PreK-12 schools has increased over time. However, paraeducators supporting students with ASD typically receive limited training and are unprepared for their roles. As part of a larger survey study, we conducted a content analysis of responses by paraeducators in one U.S. state across…

Research about response to intervention (RtI) programs has primarily focused on the elementary level, and there is a noticeable lack of research specific to secondary mathematics RtI programs.
