Early-career faculty have the daunting task of navigating the intersection of teaching, research, and service. Early-career faculty development can play a crucial role in supporting the professional development of tenure-seeking faculty. While these programs may introduce and support new faculty to the expectations of their academic roles, limited…

In this theoretical paper, we advocate for educational researchers to embrace co-design as a means of fostering sustainable solutions in educational settings. While co-design has been increasingly recognized for its collaborative potential, we suggest that its effectiveness can be further enhanced by drawing from three complementary perspectives:…

To leverage the research development expertise of its members and address the national inequity in funding between the top 150 institutions of higher education (IHEs by total research expenditures) and the broader cohort of IHEs, including all Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), emerging research institutions (ERIs), and other…

Numerous dual enrollment programs have recently emerged due to the ongoing push for pursuing higher education in the United States. In South Texas, dual enrollment programs are prevalent in almost every high school campus and collaborating colleges and universities. This begs the question, Are students being adequately prepared for college in high…

This article examines a longstanding university-sponsored summer internship program for doctoral students in the humanities and social sciences at the University of Michigan's Rackham Graduate School. Four years of student reflection data suggest that an internship is an enriching experiential learning opportunity that contributes to both…

Despite the evidence of its effectiveness on student learning, ambitious mathematics instruction has proven to be challenging for teachers to enact. Increasingly, instructional coaching programs have become a way of providing intensive one-on-one support to teachers to improve the quality of mathematics instruction. Researchers have identified…

We examine whether participation in dual enrollment increases student engagement in college using a nationally representative sample of postsecondary institutions. We use student engagement frameworks to guide our analysis, but draw on more recent studies that include student transfer as an outcome option. Dual enrollment initially exposes…

Recent research analyses show professional learning programs that include specific elements known to contribute to effectiveness may have a powerful influence on teachers' instructional practices but relatively modest impact on student learning outcomes. Thomas Guskey explores research-based explanations for the incongruence and offers practical…

As schools continue to implement social-emotional learning programs, school psychologists should ensure these interventions are socially valid and promote effective outcomes for racially and ethnically minoritized youth. One study of how this can feasibly be done provides guidance for culturally adapting a program for Black youth.

In this paper, a secure exam proctoring assistant 'EMTIHAN' (which means exam in Arabic/Persian/Urdu/Turkish languages) is developed to address concerns related to online exams for handwritten topics by allowing students to submit their answers online securely via their mobile devices. This system is designed with an aim to lessen the student's…

In 1998, the University of Wisconsin-Madison began offering opportunities for staff, faculty, and students to engage in reflection of their lived experiences in learning communities. In 2012, the Learning Communities for Institutional Change & Excellence (LCICE) unit formally launched, providing dialogue- and cohort-based professional learning…

This article explores developmental readiness, efficacy, and design sequencing considerations in college service experiences. Drawing on developmental theory and best practices, this article offers a roadmap to more effectively align student development with the design of community service experiences. It includes implications for practice and…

Public policies targeting individuals based on need often impose disproportionate burden on communities that lack the resources to implement these policies effectively. In an elementary school setting, I examine whether community-level interventions focusing on similar needs and providing resources to build capacity in these communities could…

This article offers insights into the challenges and complexities of accredited national professional learning programmes that are collaboratively designed, led, and delivered. The article is framed within theoretical perspectives concerning large-scale system change, highlighting the importance of inter-professional relationships and joint work…

Study Skills in any guise are integral to Higher Education worldwide, existing to help student success. Some argue generic or bolt-on Study Skills do not help with success, others that embedded Study Skills do, but no-one advocates actually evaluating Study Skills in a context of success defined as helping with student educational gain and…
