More Than an Email: The Effects of Transfer Student-Faculty Interactions at a Four-Year University
Community colleges serve as a vital pathway for upward mobility, enrolling a disproportionate number of first-generation, racially minoritized, and low-income students and facilitating their transfer to four-year institutions. Despite the opportunities transfer pathways offer, the retention and graduation rates of transfer students remain pressing concerns. Numerous studies have highlighted that faculty-student relationships are among the most influential factors shaping the success of transfer students. Indeed, a substantial body of research links student engagement with faculty to a range of positive psychosocial and academic outcomes; however, this literature primarily focuses on students who begin college at four-year institutions. Given the well-documented challenges transfer students encounter when adapting to new university environments, a detailed understanding of their interactions with faculty is crucial for fostering student success. In this presentation, I will share insights from a survey of transfer students at a single University of California campus, which asked about their experiences throughout the transfer process and their perceptions of academic and social integration at the receiving institution. Specifically, I will present findings from a study investigating the nature and frequency of faculty-student interactions, both inside and outside the classroom, and how these interactions relate to students’ academic achievement and progress toward graduation.

Public education won the battle and held off "school choice" in the last legislative session, but the war is far from over. What is driving this push for policy change, and what are the potential ramifications for public education if vouchers become a reality in the future? Join this conversation to hear a thirty-five year public educator's thoughts and fears regarding this shift.

Enhancing Math Education in Texas Through Blended Learning: A Closer Look at Math Innovation Zones
The integration of technology and innovative pedagogical approaches has become a hallmark of transformative learning experiences. Blended learning, which integrates traditional classroom instruction with digital software and tools, plays a crucial role in delivering high quality instruction by providing educators with valuable insights into students’ progress in real time. This formative data empowers teachers to tailor the pace of content delivery and their instructional approach creating a personalized learning environment that addresses the individual academic needs of students. This talk examines the role of blended learning in delivering personalized math instruction in Texas.

AP or IB?: Geographic Patterns in Advanced Course-Taking, High School Achievement, and Postsecondary Outcomes
Although high schools across the United States have increasingly boosted the availability of advanced coursework like Advancement Placement and International Baccalaureate, these offerings are much less available in rural schools and towns, relative to urban and suburban communities. Given substantial evidence that AP and IB courses provide an academic advantage over traditional coursework, this pattern has negative implications for the educational achievement and attainment of students in rural areas. How should educators and policy makers respond to this challenge when allocating limited resources? It is not clear whether students in rural schools would benefit more from increased access to AP or IB courses (or some combination of the two), since few studies have directly compared the two programs. Drawing on data from the 2009 US High School Longitudinal Study, we examine differential access to and impact of AP and IB courses for high school students across urban, suburban, and rural communities and towns in the United States. Consistent with earlier evidence, we find that AP courses are much more available than IB courses in rural areas and towns. Yet when they are available, IB courses appear to have a greater positive impact for rural students, particularly in terms of postsecondary outcomes. Our results support growing calls to increase students' access to advanced coursework, particularly in rural areas and towns.

This qualitative study explored the perspectives of Black educational leaders and teachers who attended segregated schools and then taught in more integrated settings after the Great Migration. Data collected through semi-structured interviews revealed three main themes: boundaries, community, and enhanced education. Importantly, the findings also revealed that as these Black educators shared their teaching and leadership experiences after migrating, they somehow could not escape the physical or psychological burden associated with being Black. This talk will include implications for how current educators interface with students of color to help them navigate the educational system.

Motherhood, Childhood and Parenting in an Age of Education: An Invited Invasion
The expectations associated with childhood increasingly include cognitive and school related activities as the partnership between parents and education intensifies in the joint project of human development of children. An Invited Invasion is about the fundamental transformation of motherhood and childhood as education, our largest social intervention, grows in institutional strength. It is about a change in parenting to a more schooled and cognitively based developmental approach, not just more demands but a change in the meaning of motherhood and also childhood.
