CLAIR Cohort 3 student Amanda Moody Maestranzi presented her capstone project, which serves as the basis for her dissertation, on training novice teachers in cultural competence for English as a new language (ENL) instruction.
CLAIR Cohort 5 students Larry Tung and Rinat Levy-Cohen presented “Self-Regulated Learning and Motivation: How Do Struggling Readers Perceive Themselves as Learners and Their Teacher’s Practices?” The research focuses on students’ under- or overestimating their abilities as readers and how they respond to the Read-Write-Reflect (RWR) intervention. Larry and Rinat were part of a larger group focusing of the RWR intervention.
