Destini Braxton
is a Visiting Assistant Professor at St. Mary’s College of Maryland. She served five years as a special education mathematics teacher for Richmond Public Schools. She received her Ph.D. in Educational Psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University. During her time as a special education teacher, she worked closely with students who were dually identified as English Language Learners and students with a disability. During her doctoral journey, she was a member of the Multilingual Learners in Schools lab, led by Dr. Luciana de Oliveira, and Motivation in Context Lab, led by Dr. Sharon Zumbrunn. Her research examines how motivational beliefs, student emotions, and trust impact teacher-student relationships and engagement for underrepresented students in STEM while positively addressing the overrepresentation of Black and Latinx students with learning disabilities.
