Senior Editor, ETRWhat inspires you in your work? I often ask this about our tribe—this group of people making the front-line effort in the world of health education and promotion.
I think most of us love working for a mission. And I also think that for most people, the work sometimes gets tedious or challenging.
That’s why I totally LOVE this video by ETR’s Digital Solutions Manager, Kieren Jameson.

22. Tracking Latino Attitudes & Behavior: Math Pathways Steps Up to the Challenge
-
By Eloy Ortiz, MURP | August 15, 2014
Research Associate, ETRETR’s Science Department has conducted many longitudinal studies, on topics ranging from health behaviors to computer science interests. We’ve usually surveyed students in class or online, and often our biggest challenge is just getting a consent form signed and returned by the parents. Once we have consent, we work with the students, gather and analyze data, and write up the results.
The Math Pathways project is different because it involves gathering detailed information from mothers and students, as well as teachers. The goal of the study is to gather information that can be used to increase mathematics achievement among Latino students. We needed to meet individually with both the mother and the student outside of class. This created some challenges that helped us learn a lot more about the lives of these students and their families.
