The proposed study will test a newly developed emotional support intervention for teachers. The intervention will provide a toolkit of effective emotion management strategies and different ways people think about their emotions, including how to utilize mindfulness personally and how to be more mindful with their students.
Carol Camp Yeakey, the Marshall S. Snow Professor of Arts & Sciences and founding director of Washington University in St. Louis’ Center on Urban Research & Public Policy, is leading a two-year national study to examine the surge of corporate investors in the single-family rental (SFR) market and the implications for renters, especially marginalized communities of color.
The purpose of the INTERACT Incubator is to identify research needs for studying teaching practices that improve equity in STEM, and to solidify a detailed design plan for infrastructure to address these needs comprehensively, and at scale.
Congratulations to doctoral student Maegan Ruiz for being awarded 1st Place in the ArtSci+DBBS+UCollege category at the 2022 Graduate Research Symposium!
St. Louis Public Radio | The initiative, known as the St. Louis School Research-Practice Collaborative, has brought together researchers from Washington University, Harris-Stowe State University, St. Louis University and the University of Missouri-St. Louis, with educators from St. Louis Public Schools, Confluence Academies and KIPP St. Louis.
Recent research undertaken by Ph.D. student Rachel Martin, Dr. Andrew Butler, and Dr. Rowhea Elmesky in WashU’s Department of Education explores the connection between students’ perceptions of instructor care and their help-seeking behavior. They surveyed undergraduate students across campus in the spring semester of 2021 and asked: “How do you know when an instructor cares about you?”
Congratulations to Education doctoral student Rachel Martin! She was awarded a $1,000 Research Development Grant from the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP).
Since 2014, University City High School has reduced suspensions by more than 40% and dramatically changed its school culture. Rowhea Elmesky, associate professor of education, and Olivia Marcucci, PhD ’19, helped make it happen.
In St. Louis Magazine, Andrew Butler, chair and associate professor of education at Washington University in St. Louis, suggests that parents and educators remain patient while interacting with students: “Their interpersonal relationships with peers and teachers are so important.” Butler adds that the extra downtime has at least one silver lining: more time to rest, with most kids spread too thin before the pandemic.
Join us in congratulating Dr. Huan Liu for successfully defending her dissertation, entitled "Text Adjuncts and Comprehension with University Level Second Language Readers"!
At the start of the school year, about a quarter of high school students screened by Dr. Chris Rozek, assistant professor in the Department of Education at Washington University, showed signs of major depression. That’s double the historical average — 11% — and as the pandemic lasted into the winter, rates are increasing again, he said.
Congratulations Huan Liu, PhD student in Applied Linguistics in Education, for being selected by the National Council in the Teaching of Less Commonly Taught Languages for the 2019 research grant
