Allison Atteberry; Kendra Bischoff; Ann Owens – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2021
Ethnoracial inequality in educational achievement and attainment is a long-standing feature of the American education system.

Using SEDA data, we estimate gap trends for each grade over time in each district. We measure trends in both within-district gaps--comparing Black or Hispanic to…

Tsiokos, Robyn – ProQuest LLC, 2019
Carol Dweck's Mindset Theory suggests that a teacher who has a growth mindset believes that a student's basic qualities are things you can cultivate through effort. Dweck's theory explains that by applying a growth mindset towards children, they begin to change the way they take on challenges in their education (Dweck, 2006). One way that…

Kuhfeld, Megan – Phi Delta Kappan, 2019
It has been common knowledge for decades that poor and working-class students tend to experience "summer learning loss," a drop in performance between spring and fall that serves to widen the gap between students. However, new research shows that the reality of summer learning loss is more complex. Megan Kuhfeld draws on data from the…

Dalane, Kari; Marcotte, Dave E. – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2020
Over the past three decades, children from low-income families and those from more affluent families have increasingly been attending different public schools.
