Motivation is a core element of teachers' professional competences and, therefore, of great importance to teaching and learning. Motivation might explain why teachers do or do not promote self-regulated learning (SRL).

The Kansas Department of Education has set high goals for academic achievement and postsecondary success. The data trends over the last five years fail to demonstrate progress towards those goals. Learning has been negatively impacted by the effects of the learning environments during the COVID pandemic. The source for achieving those goals is…

Culturally responsive teaching practices (CRTP) can be used to engage diverse students and increase academic achievement. Schools have used CRTP in brick-and-mortar settings, but when schools pivoted to remote learning during the pandemic, teachers did not consistently use CRTP in the remote environments. The problem addressed by this study was…

This dissertation uses three empirical papers to examine the relationship between student gender, student's income expectations for the future, and persistence in schooling. First, I use survey data from the High School Longitudinal Study (HSLS) to examine how both children's and parent's earnings expectations for students in 12th grade vary by…
