individuals on a series of questions (Appendix B). A specific setdescribed questions related to social justice orientations. Students were then asked to identify towhat extent they agree with each statement (on an anchored scale from 1-7 where 1= stronglydisagree and 7= strongly agree) about each member of their traditional and chosen familiesaligned with these traits. This process was repeated for each member individually. We computedthe average score on each question across each student’s traditional and chosen families. We thenused Welch’s two-sample t-tests to identify differences between the two kinds of support groups.In that, each trait that we compare is an average score across the members of that respectivetraditional or chosen family.

Finally, as the ELL periodends, each team’s second-year student team coach conversationally delivers feedback to the first-year team leader (scaffolded by a feedback form shown in Appendix A); that first-year team leaderthen has five days to submit a personal reflection on their ELL experience and feedback (via areflection prompt shown in Appendix B).Each ELL activity is self-contained (i.e., not part of an ongoing, semester-long challenge or project),with each primarily focused on one or two Capabilities [2]. The decision to situate the ELLlearning activities into this short-duration format represents a trade-off in

without ADHD [16].Course design can significantly impact neurodivergent learners. Roy et al. [17] provided thefollowing recommendations with respect to course design: a. The learning objectives of the course can be clearly specified in the syllabus. b. A range of low-stakes assignments can be administered throughout the semester to ensure a steady workload with low stress points. The assignments should align with the learning objectives. c. Students can be given some flexibility to make choices about the assessment mode based on their own understanding of their strengths and challenges (e.g., an oral presentation versus a written report, a project versus a written exam, etc.). d. Multiple active learning tools
understanding oftheir task's purpose, structure, and components (e.g., [17]), their SRA strategies enabledthem to effectively navigate the problem-solving task and achieve a high level of accuracy(e.g., [18]).B. Faulty adaptive learningIn faulty adaptive learning, individuals with low MKT but high monitoring and evaluating(M/E) strategies, but the ineffective deployment of M/E strategies leads to problem-solvingfailure. Both scenarios highlight the intricate dynamics between MKT and M/E strategies indetermining problem-solving outcomes. Before the student dives into solving the question,the student shows they have a poor awareness of and understanding of their task purpose,task structure, and task component. For example, the student says, “I’ll
course evaluations for all courses consist primarily of multiple choice, “stronglyagree/disagree” style questions. To supplement the standard course evaluations, the instructors forENGR 1203 also included free-response questions to assess students’ feelings about the structureand content of the class and whether the course goals had been achieved. A total of 44 studentswere enrolled between two sections of the course and a total of 29 of these students responded tothe survey. However, not all student respondents answered all free-response questions. The full listof free-response questions and student responses is included in Appendix B. Some responses tothree questions in particular provide useful insight.Q1: Do you feel like this class gave you

We used a robust maximum likelihood estimation with amean adjusted test statistic (the “MLM” estimator), to address concerns of any non-normalitydue to the Likert-type responses or potential outliers [26]. This produces an adjusted chi-squareestimate called the Satorra-Bentler chi-square, as well as robust estimates for fit indices [27]. Arange of fit indices are provided for CFA models
