Mia Shaw is currently PhD student at the University of Pennsylvania . She is interested in examining the effectiveness of making and project-based learning (PBL) in STEAM education for Black and Brown youth, particularly in the spheres of student voice, identity development, and creativity/innovation.
The disciplinary practices schools employ to manage student behavior can have a significant impact on school climate and ultimately student learning. However, in their attempt at negating misbehavior, many schools tend to rely heavily on traditional disciplinary practices (which emphasize negative consequences and social control strategies) that may temporarily curb student behavior but have detrimental effects in the long-run.
