Jennifer Flores Samson

 Dr. Samson is focused on teacher quality with a specific interest in the literacy outcomes of English language learners and students with disabilities. The main question that motivates her work is “How can teachers be more effective when working with students who are culturally, linguistically, and ability diverse?” Her scholarship has included analyses of national datasets to better understand language minority students and their teachers, particularly as it relates to special education and literacy outcomes. Findings from Dr. Samson’s work have implications for both policy and practice and have been featured in the Journal of Learning Disabilities, Reading and Writing, Teachers College Record, and Teaching Exceptional Children.
