Notes
1. “Economically disadvantaged” is defined by each state and typically involves individual or household eligibility for federal assistance programs. Different states include different federal assistance programs in their criteria for identifying economically disadvantaged students (CitationBlagg and Gutierrez 2021).
2. We acknowledge the limitations of these categories to represent the range of regional and cultural identities comprising them, which may differ in their representation in STEM. See for example CitationBhatti (2021).
3. Paired samples t-tests, all significant at p < .001.
4. Selected items from the Science Learning Activation Lab Engagement Survey (CitationChung et al. 2016).
