Research, testimonies and descriptions of successful projects and initiatives have shown the benefits of well-planned inclusive arts education for students with disabilities. The group of students with disabilities is diverse. The only thing they have in common is a disability that prevents them from taking advantage of the general curriculum…

This longitudinal qualitative case study contextualizes the dynamic interplay of race, language, and disability through a conceptual framework grounded in the principles of Raciolinguistics, DisCrit theory, and Intersectionality to surface the tensions between the way a language-racialized student labeled as a 'long-term English learner' and…

Background: Inclusive teaching practices have become essential to support student success in our diverse college classrooms. Given the variations in how inclusivity is translated into teaching behavior, it is important for us to examine how our students define and perceive inclusivity. Objective: The main goal of this qualitative study is to…

This paper provided new evidence on three kindergarten instructional practices that may be associated with better reading and math skills, particularly for children of less educated parents: (1) full-day kindergarten; (2) more instructional time; and (3) ability grouping. The analysis used Early Childhood Longitudinal Study Kindergarten Cohort…

Effective teaching practices are essential for enhancing classroom instruction and student learning. However, a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing teachers' instructional practices remains elusive. This study employs machine learning (ML) to identify the most significant predictors influencing the instructional practices of…

Transformative curriculum innovation is needed in engineering education programmes, to continuously keep up to date with developments in the professional and research disciplines, in society, technology and pedagogy, and in the characteristics and needs of its diverse students. To enable and facilitate such innovations, both the curriculum's…

Amid particularly turbulent times for LGBTQ+ people globally, it is unclear what concepts like 'inclusivity' can achieve in primary schools where institutionalized cis-heteronormative logics abound. Drawing on a study conducted with primary school staff (n = 1031) in Ireland in 2023, this paper explores the concept of inclusivity and how it…

This study investigates how school practices can disrupt hegemonic monolingualism by fostering inclusive environments wherein recently arrived immigrant English learners (RAIELs) are encouraged to speak in both their home language and English. Through a case study of three public schools in New York City in the United States, we examine the…

Increasing emphasis on evidence-based evaluation processes in districts across the United States challenges school board directors to call into question their current evaluation practices of superintendents. Existing methods tend to be inconsistent and not aligned to specific criteria (Hendricks, 2013). This study investigates the current…

The idea of 'good enough' teacher education is taken from the work of Donald Winnicott, a British psychoanalyst who proposed the idea of 'the good enough mother' (Winnicott in The family and individual development, Tavistock, London, 1965) in response to popular views of the time that good mothers all shared certain selfless characteristics, with…

In this paper, we propose a way of thinking about ritual that is new to mathematics education research and that challenges the more common approaches to ritual that dichotomise thinking and acting. We argue for a material, monist conceptualisation of ritual, which we refer to as ritualisation. In the context of early number work, we show that…

When educational leaders think about how to solve problems, we expect them to identify a problem, think about causes and a theory of action, implement changes, and reflect on effects. This straightforward sequence is actually quite challenging. Through writings and interviews collected over 2 years within a doctor of education program, this study…
