Examination of Equitable Access and Experiences in Head Start by Race and Language Status
This study examines equitable access and experiences in Head Start programs by race and language status. Using data (N = 1754) from the 2014 Head Start Family and Child Experiences Survey (FACES), we constructed 26 equity indicators spanning dimensions of access (e.g. teacher-child match, diversity, and support services) and experiences (e.g. classroom quality, curriculum, teacher-family alignment).

Hope longitudinally predicts achievement
Hope is a malleable cognitive-motivational skill that helps students identify personal goals and construct routes to achieve them. Hope is sustained through engaging contexts and supportive relationships. We examined cognitive school engagement, teacher support, and peer support during high school (297 students; 9th–11th grade; 45% female; 52% White, 45% Latinx, 3% other) as potential mechanisms in the process of sustaining hope over time, and pr…

Seventy-four college students …
A multimethod examination of hope and adolescent STEM career expectancies

Hope is a cognitive-motivational construct that includes three components: hopeful future expectations (HFEs), intentional self-regulation (ISR), and connection, and is associated with academic …

Information regarding hope levels across grade could help educators know when to capitalize on goal-setting behaviors, and when to intervene should hope levels be low. Additionally, hope could help with the middle to high school transit…
