Research Interests

My current research interests focus on sociocultural processes in motivation, classroom learning, and instruction, with a focus on reading and literacy. I am particularly interested in students who are English learners and students who are in at-risk conditions. I am also interested in teaching, learning, and motivational processes related to academic achievement in public school settings.
