In 2022, authors conducted a research study of SC teachers who had completed the first-in-the-nation teaching endorsement in Project-Based Learning (PBL) between the years of 2014 and 2020. Researchers' key question was to what extent have teachers trained in the SC PBL endorsement implemented PBL in their classrooms? This study sought to assess…

This study investigated how 15 kindergarten teachers from one school district implemented small-group Guided Reading (GR). Analysis of video recordings indicates substantial differences in how GR was conducted, with none of the teachers fully implementing GR as conceptualized by Fountas and Pinnell (2012). Consistency across teachers was limited…

Many theoretical models of action research depict its process as cycles that include several sequential phases. In Bhutan, teachers use Kemmis and McTaggart's spiral model which has four phases of: "plan," "act," "observe" and "reflect" to conduct action research for their professional learning. As a growing…

This study examines the effectiveness of ICT training programmes for academics at selected universities in Africa, specifically in Cameroon, Nigeria, and South Africa. Using a qualitative approach, we conducted semi-structured interviews with five ICT trainers and three trainees to better understand their experiences. The findings highlight both…

This comprehensive guidebook shows teachers how to implement high-quality evidence-based interactive reading lessons for children with extensive support needs. It features step-by-step instructions for developing, implementing, and assessing shared reading lessons that are meaningful, engaging, and supportive of this population's needs across…

We examined the ways that faculty members developed as inclusive instructors as a result of participating in the Inclusive STEM Teaching Project (ISTP). The ISTP is a free, Massive Open Online Course designed to train STEM faculty members in inclusive teaching. Semi-structured interviews (n = 80) with course participants from multiple disciplines…

The purpose of this study was to test the use of Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT) in the secondary school setting. There were two main goals: (a) to evaluate secondary education providers' ability to implement PRT with fidelity following a PRT training program; and (b) to evaluate the effects of school-implemented PRT on the social communication…

Modeling with mathematics (MP4) is a mathematical practice standard that can be used to engage students in mathematical content standards as well as additional mathematical practice standards. Research has shown the benefits of mathematical modeling (e.g., Aguirre et al., 2019; Cirillo et al., 2016a), but also the challenges teachers can face…

The purpose of this study was to explore the nature of postgraduate leadership courses and programs offered by Australian Higher Education Institutions for leaders and potential leaders in the Health & Human Service (H&HS) sector including structure, content, and teaching practices from the perspective of educators. Ten educators from a…

The value of evidence-based teaching practices lies in how these practices are brought to life for all students -- i.e., in their implementation. The Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) has developed a deliberate and structured approach to support the effective implementation of evidence-based teaching practices in Australian…

Global challenges require the government to organize learning in schools that are more up-to-date following episodes in the times. The independent curriculum learning promises flexibility for teachers and students and replaces the relatively new curriculum-13. In implementing the independent curriculum, differentiated learning is a concept that…

With the emergence of the coronavirus pandemic, education systems at international level were called upon to immediately undertake the transition from face-to-face teaching to a new digital environment. The Greek Ministry of Education has activated the implementation of Online Education - Distance Teaching (OE - DT) for students of Primary and…

In order to compete worldwide, the school system must be transformed by raising educational standards by implementing the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education approach. The purpose of the primary school curriculum is closely aligned with the teaching goals of STEM education, which is to develop each child's full…

Although there is growing evidence that the flipped classroom approach (FCA) positively impacts the student learning experience and outcomes, much less is known about the educator's experience. This study aimed to explore how educators across several disciplines in a regional Australian University describe their experience of using the FCA.…

This study explored the ways that STEM faculty learn about, design, and implement inclusive STEM teaching practices to improve student belonging. An interpretive phenomenological approach was employed to understand the personal experiences and thought processes of faculty as they worked to further develop their understanding of issues of equity…
