Prior to the mandatory online teaching imposed by the pandemic, many teachers were familiar with technology but implemented it sparingly. Online teaching presents a great opportunity for teachers to learn and implement technology-based instructional strategies. As a future mathematics educator, I have explored innovative practices with technology that will engage every student in the classroom. In this presentation, I focus on DeltaMath as an instructional tool to enhance teaching and learning of mathematics in secondary classrooms.
A Holistic Approach To Combating Stereotype Threat In Stem Among Elementary Children, Tiffany Berry, Hope Tiboni
A Holistic Approach To Combating Stereotype Threat In Stem Among Elementary Children, Tiffany Berry, Hope Tiboni
Psychology Student Scholarship
Tiffany Berry ’22, Majors: Biology and Psychology
Hope Tiboni, ’22, Majors: Psychology and Health Policy and Management
Faculty Mentor: Dr. Saaid Mendoza, Psychology
Past research has established that concerns about being negatively stereotyped can impact the academic performance of marginalized groups. These stereotype threat effects may be moderated by external factors (i.e., role models, social support) and internal factors (i.e., identity, resilience). We integrate these approaches to promote success within STEM-interested children, particularly young girls. Specifically, we propose a practical toolkit that can be used in elementary schools as a theory-driven holistic intervention for mitigating stereotype threats.

Nothing Left To Give: Responding To Secondhand Trauma In K-12 Educators, Sarah Downey
Education Student Scholarship
Sarah Downey ’24
Major: Spanish/Secondary Education
Faculty Mentor: Dr. Comfort Ateh, Secondary Education
In-service K-12 educators working in urban schools experience higher rates of secondhand trauma that result in teacher burnout and turnover. Existent literature is replete with the prevalence of Adverse Childhood Experiences and traumatic events in student populations, physiological and educational effects of trauma, and trauma-informed practices in schools. Nevertheless, teachers lack adequate training and resources to engage in trauma-informed teaching. It is critical for teacher preparation programs to engage teacher candidates in acquiring foundational knowledge and skills to be competent in trauma-informed teaching practices. In this poster …

Streaming Video Resources For Teaching, Learning, And Research, Julie A. Decesare
Julie A DeCesare
In less than 10 years the availability of digitally converted or born digital video, has grown exponentially. Libraries and librarians are constantly navigating, and helping their patrons navigate, this shift from analog to digital. For access to video, our libraries are challenged by an individual consumer marketplace, where institutional access is often limited and expensive. Due to limitations of streaming content, licensing and copyright issues for use in learning management systems and public performance screenings, and time and budgetary issues surrounding the conversion of analog to digital formats, public and educational institutions are still very reliant on physical formats. Patron …
Do School District Bond Guarantee Programs Matter?, Michael Cirrotti
Do School District Bond Guarantee Programs Matter?, Michael Cirrotti
Economics Student Scholarship
The State of Washington enacted a school district bond credit enhancement program in 1999. Oregon did the same in 1998. I use data from the National Center for Education Statistics for a representative sample of states in order to examine whether or not these programs increased the likelihood that school districts in Washington and Oregon issued bonds. I isolate the programs’ impact in Washington and Oregon through difference-in-differences analysis to control for other variation in the data in ten other representative states during the same time period. The results suggest that state-level school district bond guarantee programs increase the likelihood …

Impacting Student Attitudes Toward Mathematics Through Project-Based Learning: A Multiple Intelligence Based Approach, Andrea Wade
Education Student Scholarship
Reflecting on my first year of teaching, the number one hindrance to my students’ progress in mathematics seemed to be that my students strongly disliked the subject. Therefore in my second year of teaching at a diverse Catholic school in New England, I completed an action research project that implemented project-based learning (PBL) based on Multiple Intelligence (MI) theory into my mathematics classroom. I wanted to to see if the experience would first, impact student attitudes to make students like math more, and second, if PBL would allow students to see mathematics as applicable to the real world. Therefore, this …

Diffusion Of Mobile Payment Systems Among Microentrepreneurs In Kenya And Tanzania, Dionne Nickerson
Annual Celebration of Student Scholarship and Creativity
The rapid rise of Kenya's mobile payment system, M-PESA , has grasped the attention of policy makers and private enterprise alike. In just six years M-PESA has transformed how money flows throughout Kenya, and similar systems are gaining traction elsewhere in Africa. This project examines the impact of mobile payment system adoption on the economic advancement of Kenyan and Tanzanian microentrepreneurs. This work will further the understanding of mobile payment systems’ contribution to the economic growth of microenterprises, which may have implications for poverty reduction in these two nations.
