The purpose of this study was to examine the perceived effect of a fully online Master of Education programme designed to prepare teachers to be accomplished teachers. Graduates of the programme completed a 33-item survey about the effect of the programme on five programme standards as student learning outcomes: content knowledge, planning…

This paper examines how two language educators of color developed critical multilingual language awareness (CMLA) in a combined youth participatory action research and teacher education program. Specifically, as a multilingual and diverse group of educators, we chose to use Latin@/o Critical Theory (LatCrit) as our methodology to align with the…

Efficient and profitable business operations today rely on the use of advanced technologies. This is particularly evident in managing family farms in the competitive broiler chicken industry.

Persistent racial inequities in the field of psychology have resulted in exclusion and marginalization of racially/ethnically minoritized (REM) students. This manuscript discusses the effectiveness of an endeavor to increase admission, recruitment, and retention of REM students, the Scholars Committed to Opportunities in Psychological Education…

The U.S. psychology workforce is considerably less diverse than the population that it serves. While several recruitment and admission practices are effective for diversifying psychology training programs, upstream recruitment of underrepresented candidates is particularly promising. Aiming to diversify the clinical psychology graduate program…
