Dr. Rosa Chávez is an Assistant Professor in the department of Educational Psychology, Leadership, & Counseling. She earned her doctorate in Curriculum and Teacher Education from Stanford University. Her research centers around policy implementation and its interaction with teaching and learning for students from historically marginalized communities. Her recent work includes projects that look at teachers as institutional actors of policies in Texas and California, how Latine pre-service teachers engage in negotiating anti-Blackness within Latinidad identity, and how in-service teachers engage in culturally and linguistically responsive teaching in Dual Language programs.
Prior to joining Texas Tech, Dr. Chávez taught various courses that focused on access, elementary and secondary mathematics methods, teacher identity, and leading change in schools at Stanford University and Santa Clara University. She was also a middle school and high school mathematics teacher in the Rio Grande Valley.
