From the Frying Pan to the Fire
In the 2020–2021 school year, teachers and students at PK-12 schools in Texas, a large southern U.S. state, returned to in-person instruction from fully virtual learning. This manuscript reports the findings from the second year of a longitudinal study examining the experiences of teachers instructing their students both remotely and in-person during the COVID-19 pandemic. Transcripts of interviews and focus groups were qualitatively coded, and f…
Tracking patterns in secondary students’ intention to major in STEM
The purpose of this study is to investigate howHarmony Public Schools' (HPS) ’ Class of 2024 high school students’ current selves (high school experience, math and science efficacy, parent, and teacher expectations) affect to possible future selves (i.e. choosing a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics [STEM]-major in college). 1464 tenth grade students participated in the study. We utilised logistic regressions for the study. It was …
Remixing Resilience
This study examines a sample of African American students attending urban middle schools in a Southern city, and considers their perceptions of learning environments within mathematics classrooms. This study concluded that variables like Academic Self-Concept, Mathematics Anxiety, Satisfaction, Involvement, and Academic Aspiration varied significantly among higher and lower performing students. These variables are informed by the classic resilien…

Investigating Bilingual/ESL Teachers’ Knowledge and Professional Development Opportunities in a Large Suburban School District in Texas
Despite the fact that the population of English Language Learners (ELLs) is rapidly increasing, there is ample evidence that indicates that most teachers can benefit from training for teaching ELLs effectively. The purpose of this study is to examine teachers’ knowledge of instructional practices for ELLs, research on bilingual programs, research-based instructional strategies, and knowledge related to second-language development among 225 biling…
Classroom Learning Environment Differences Between Resilient, Average, and Nonresilient Middle School Students in Reading
The lack of achievement of students from high-risk and high-poverty environments necessitates changes in today’s middle school environments to create a caring, supportive environment where all middle school students can succeed. This study investigated the classroom learning environments of resilient, average, and nonresilient minority students in middle school reading classrooms. A total of 1,295 seventh- and eighth-grade minority students were …

Classroom Instruction and Learning Environment Differences between Effective and Ineffective Urban Elementary Schools for African American Students
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there are significant differences between effective and ineffective urban schools based on (a) students' classroom behavior and (b) students' motivation and perceptions of their classroom learning environment. Students from four effective and four ineffective urban elementary schools that served predominantly African American students were systematically observed during the school year and comp…
Motivation and Learning Environment Differences between Resilient and Nonresilient Latino Middle School Students
This study tries to address the problems of Latino students by drawing on two distinct and emerging theoretical frameworks: (a) educationally resilient students and (b) classroom learning environments. The authors compared the motivation and learning environment of 60 resilient and 60 nonresilient Latino middle school students from a multiethnic metropolitan city located in the south central region of the United States. The multivariate analysis …
Lessons learned in educational research, productivity, and humility
When I started my doctoral program at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) nearly 20 years ago, several personal friends suggested that I should switch to a more prestigious institution like the University of Chicago or Northwestern University to receive my doctorate. On their advice, I visited both universities, examined their doctoral programs in education, and carefully investigated the textbooks they were using in their courses. When I…
Improving the Quality of Classroom Instruction for Students at Risk of Failure in Urban Schools
One of the major challenges in education today is improving the quality of classroom instruction for students at risk of failure in urban schools. Most of these students come from disadvantaged circumstances that heighten the probability that they will not be successful in schools, but what may be considered their greatest risk factor is that their teachers and schools contribute to their failure and academic underachieve
Effects of Implementing Classroom Instructional Models on English Language Learners' Cognitive and Affective Outcomes
The purpose of the present study was to examine alternative instructional strategies for improving the education of English language learners (ELLs). More specifically, the present study provides descriptive and comparative information on the use of different instructional approaches that were implemented by 17 bilingual teachers and their 325 Hispanic ELLs from five elementary schools located in a medium-sized metropolitan school district in the…
A comparison of classroom instruction in bilingual and monolingual secondary school classrooms
Most research reports on programs for linguistically diverse students lack documentation of the classroom environment and teaching processes used (Walker de Felix, 1990). This aspect of studying schooling is particularly valuable with culturally diverse populations because of their divergent needs and experiences. Studying the specific classroom activities and the extent to which teachers incorporate higher level thinking skills into those activi…
The Effect of ESL Students' Perceptions of Their Cognitive Strategies on Reading Achievement
U Although a few studies have investigated the cognitive reading strategies used by Hispanic ESL students (Block, 1986; Knight, Padron, & Waxman, 1985), the effect of these students' use of strategies on reading achievement has not been specifically examined. Furthermore, most of these studies have used think-aloud procedures and verbal reports to identify reading strategies, a methodology that has been questioned because students sometimes have …
Alternative Feedback Approaches for Improving Student Teachers' Classroom Instruction
Freiberg and Waxman describe three approaches for providing feedback that have not been widely used but have great potential for improving the class room instruction of preservice teachers. The methods include: (a) feedback from pupils, (b) systematic feedback from classroom observation systems, and (c) self-analysis of classroom lessons. The authors argue that these feedback ap proaches, individually or collectively, provide student teachers, co…

The Cognitive Reading Strategies of ESL Students
0 In recent years, researchers have investigated the importance of the cognitive strategies students use while reading (Weaver 1979, Hansen 1980, Wilkinson 1980, Linden and Wittrock, 1981, Cohen 1983). The use of these strategies has been found to be effective in improving students'reading comprehension (Brown 1981, Baker and Brown 1984, Palinscar and Brown 1984, 1985). However, as Padron (1985a) has noted, most of these studies have been conduct…
Evaluating Effects of Nonclass Experiences on Students' Educational Aspirations and Academic Achievement
The present study investigates the extent to which high school students' participation in extracurricular activities affects their postsecondary aspirations and academic achievement. The Comprehensive Test of Basic Skills, the Brown-Holtzman Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes, and the Nonclass Experiences Questionnaire were administered to 119 high school students from a large urban school district. Two-stage least squares regression analyses i…
Effect of Teachers' Empathy on Students' Motivation
The present study investigates whether teachers' empathy toward students affects students' motivation. The Teacher Empathy Questionnaire and the Multi-dimensional Motivational Instrument were administered to 83 students in Grades 3 to 8 from a metropolitan inner-city parochial school. The analyses indicate that teachers' empathy significantly affected students' post-academic self-concept and post-achievement motivation, even after controlling for…
