Scholarly conversations in writing pedagogy increasingly centre our roles in reproducing epistemic and structural biases, and consequently the need to decolonize our curriculum. These conversations can be especially informative for L2 writing instruction, given its focus on the academic socialization of ESL for non-Western students. This article…

Fostering experiential learning experiences that allow students to apply their design thinking skills is important for developing technological and engineering (T&E) literacy. However, K-12 schools must ensure that educators providing these experiential T&E experiences are adequately prepared and supported to maintain a safer teaching and…

The study examines how a white elementary educator used discursive practices I refer to as "race talk moves" to support students' racial literacy during whole-class read-alouds.

That writing can support students' learning in science and mathematics has been documented, yet little is known about how empirical findings have been applied in (1) materials designed to support science and math instruction; and (2) informal learning environments mediated by peer instructors. This dissertation examines two relatively unexplored…

This study examines the experiences of preservice and inservice teachers who developed web platform posts for The Multiliteracies Project, which in part involved creating a multimodal pedagogical tool embedded in a lesson plan to explore a multiliteracies approach in diverse content areas. This research draws upon theory of Learning by Design to…

British sociologist Basil Bernstein's theorisations of pedagogic practice have inspired education research at the micro-level of the classroom; however, there is some limitation so far as understanding educators' pedagogic impact on learners' text production in the early years. Specifically, this limitation concerns how educators can craft a…
