The Urban Identity Project takes a developmental social-cognitive approach toward understanding how urban adolescents negotiate their mathematics identity in conjunction with their racial identity during middle school and across the transition into high school. Our research team followed 440 Black and Latinx adolescents over the course of five years using survey methodology, classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and cognitive assessments. See sample research papers from this project below.<\/span><\/p>\n

Belonging-Centered Instruction Project<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_tabs _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_tab title=”Description” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The desire to belong is intrinsic to our human design and a source of personal worth and motivation. Within the context of schools, my notion of \u201cbelonging-centered instruction\u201d holds three core assumptions, 1) belonging is a fundamental necessity for all people; however, 2) sense of belonging in school is often under assault for Black, Brown, and poor children specifically. Finally, 3) teachers have the power to capitalize on belongingness needs, not only through building positive student-teacher relationships, but through their instructional choices and practices as well. This final point challenges the popular misconception that teacher efforts to support students\u2019 positive social experience of their classroom are only relational in nature (e.g., facilitating a positive classroom climate), whereas I argue they are just as much instructional and content oriented (e.g., helping students to see themselves reflected in the content).<\/span><\/p>\n

My team and I conduct rigorous observational research to explore issues of belonging and belonging-centered instruction in classrooms. I also conduct professional development to turnkey our findings into practical tips for teachers and school leaders.<\/span><\/p>\n

THREADS is a group mentorship program, where university undergraduates partner with urban middle school boys around the academic, social, and community issues that impact the mentees growth and development as young men. The program aims to cultivate an environment where the mentees and mentors can strategize around issues that affect their behavior, development, future goals, and identities inside school and out. By developing strong relationships with the boys, the undergraduate mentors learn about the strengths, interests, and skillsets that make each one of them unique and powerful.<\/span><\/p>\n
