I have a few ideas for wikipedia pages that I could create/edit:


 * 1) Concerted Cultivation: This page exists but is quite small and has few sources. Also, on the talk page for concerted cultivation, there is a comment that the page is not neutral. In my wikipedia project, I would work to make the language more neutral. Also, I would add additional sources and information regarding the process of concerted cultivation, its' characteristics, and especially the outcomes associated with concerted cultivation. []


 * Another idea relating to Concerted Cultivation would be to add a section on the page that discusses how concerted cultivation shapes the lives of adolescents, what this looks like, and how it is related to certain outcomes such as achievement.


 * 1) Subjective Task Value: This is a component of the Expectancy Value Theory by Eccles and Wigfield, which is a motivational theory. There is no page for this term, so I would work on creating a page. Also, the Expectancy Value Theory page does not mention Eccles and Wigfield, so I might add to that page in order to situate this term. []


 * 1) Fixed Mindset or Growth Mindset: There is no page for either fixed or growth mindset. So, I would work on creating one or both of these pages. The page on mindset mentions Carol Dweck and growth/fixed mindsets but does not discuss these terms and their implications deeply. []


 * Within the scope of mindset, I could add a section to the beginning mindset page on how it shapes outcomes in adolescence like achievement in school. I might also include a section that discusses the middle/high school context and strategies that can be used to improve students mindset.
