Dr. @nikkimyates discussed the unique relationship between Black students’ motivation and school outcomes, pushing #SelfDeterminationTheory to account for diverse motivational experiences and better understand factors that support Black students’ success. #AERA22
@DrJMatth highlighted that research findings often tell a story reflecting the ideology of the researcher — rather than the meaning systems of the folks who provided the data.
Honored to have the opportunity to hear Gloria Ladson-Billings lead this discussion and the critical call for intersectional coalition building & translational scholars.
Dr. Ladson-Billings highlights that teachers are not equipped to infuse CRT into their practice — but bc critical theories help explain inequality, and therefore disrupt white supremacist ideology and power — they’re a clear target for political rhetoric and strategy. #AERA22
Dr. Kumashiro connected anti-CRT rhetoric to privatization and efforts to sew distrust in public sectors — an important flag for the strength of public education in the face of these attacks alongside the pandemic. #AERA22
Big perk of hybrid conferences — you can still attend sessions when you get delayed and stuck in the connection city 😅 #AERA2022
Shoutout to the hotel staff who dealt with all the late night missed connections — got to my room and swiped in only to find somebody already checked in there 😆
This train from Santa Ana really made up for missing my connection to San Diego 🤩
