There's been great research on supporting students w/mathematics difficulties. Would that research be even better if we integrated ideas from cognitive load theory? Yes! Learn all about it on this episode of the Div15 podcast with Drs. Barbieri & Rodrigues! #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

This is my amazing Doctoral advisee’s dissertation. She is a prior teacher and we would love if folks in the Mid-Atlantic region would repost!
Education colleagues: I am partnering with middle- and high-school math teachers in DE, PA, and MD to look at how belonging-supportive instruction shapes students' math experiences (see infographic). Teachers can participate in 2025 or early 2026. Please share w/ teachers who may be interested!

An ed psych journal is refusing to publish our manuscript unless we "neutralize" "political" content. This is after the manuscript was peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. DM me for details!
I'm devastated. Two years of work and revisions with four junior co-authors cast aside that easily.

NSF appears to be terminating hundreds of its grants to Harvard, per internal sources at NSF and at Harvard. At least one division has had all its grants cut.
