Goodbye, (X) Twitter! We've had some laughs, but now I'm done. From now on, you can find me only on Bluesky at allisonmaster.bsky.social
Made it through the last week of classes! We had an amazing semester in Educational Psychology. Here is the Padlet with students' reflections on the semester. @PHLSatUH @UHCOE @AERA_TEPsig @AERA_MotSIG @AERADivC

New research collaboration led by colleague @AllisonMaster shows computer science stereotypes can make girls feel like they don’t belong and reduce their motivation to enroll in classes. Addressing stereotypes directly can help! Read the study: buff.ly/40W8UES
Educators: this is a really good time to take a few minutes at the start of your class to check in with your students about how they are doing. This week, my class made wordclouds about how they feel and what they need. @AERA_MotSIG @AERADivC @AERA_TEPsig
This and many other warm up activities that I do with my graduate/undergraduate students can be found in this powerpoint file:

ALT Teacher writing on a whiteboard. She has black hair, a black shirt and a red skirt with students looking on: We're Hiring Faculty! University of Houston College of Education
Excited to share: the 2nd paper from @kquest's dissertation ("Student engagement, school involvement, and transfer student success") now available OPEN ACCESS in Contemporary Educational Psychology! (1/n) sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Institutions can provide course/service releases for faculty who teach large courses so they have more time for student-faculty interactions. They can incentivize transfer students to participate in campus activities with scholarships or stipends (e.g., book vouchers). (13/n)
@kquest has worked to support transfer students for years, and she brought that deep understanding to her dissertation and this paper. I learned so much from her, and am so excited to share her work! (14/n)
