I am currently conducting a research study as part of the pilot for my dissertation, which focuses on understanding the beliefs and practices of in-service teachers regarding Multilingual Learners and linguistically responsive teaching. The purpose of my study is to examine the experiences and perspectives of in-service teachers in working with MLs.

Participation in the study involves completing a brief online survey, which is expected to take approximately 10 minutes. Additionally, participants who complete the survey will enter a raffle to receive one of two $50 Amazon gift cards as a token of appreciation for their time.

To participate you must be:

  • 18 or older

  • In-service teacher

  • High school content area teacher (i.e., history and social studies, mathematics, science, English language arts)

Predictors of Teachers' Beliefs and Practices Regarding Emergent Bilingual Students

Teachers' perceptions of multilingual learners: Does a state-mandated course change them?

The purpose of this study is to check the effectiveness of the state-mandated Sheltered English Immersion (SEI) course on pre-service teachers' beliefs about multilingual learners.

If you are a pre-service teacher planning to take the SEI course soon, you are qualified to take part in this research.
