The purpose of this research is to examine whether the stereotypes people hold about a target group (e.g., Hispanic women) depend on whom it is that people are comparing this target group against (e.g., Black women vs. East-Asian women).

In the United States, science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines typically have lower rates of retention than other fields, such as the social sciences. Retention rates in some STEM disciplines are even lower for groups that are underrepresented and marginalized in academia and STEM. Office hours are the primary vector for interaction between most students and their instructors. To address both the challenges of teaching across different classroom sizes and building equitable and effective learning experiences for all students, this project will examine the role that pedagogical practices, student and instructor perceptions and attitudes, course structures, and campus environments have on student outcomes and retention in STEM. Specifically, we seek to understand faculty and student usage and perceptions of STEM course office hours.

This mixed- methods study examines the impact and cost-effectiveness of a high dosage tutoring model for 4th grade math in a district with a proven track record of success in implementing such a model. High dosage tutoring is defined as frequent (three or more sessions per week), small group (three or four students per tutor) tutoring conducted during the school day by an adult who has been trained to deliver instruction that helps students meet grade level standards. This study will allow local, state, and national practitioners and policymakers to weigh the costs and benefits of two different approaches to delivering tutoring: a whole grade model and a targeted tutoring model.
