The early years of teaching can be exhilarating and overwhelming in equal measure. Drawing on over 50 years of combined experience in public schooling, coaching, and higher education, authors Denise Furlong and Keri Orange-Jones equip novice educators with the tools, insights, and perspectives they need to thrive in today's classrooms. Learners…

The purpose of this review was to provide an overview of the scholarly publications on ethical leadership in educational research, drawing on a database of 151 articles published between 1990 and 2022. Descriptive statistics and content analysis methods were used to identify trends in the ethical leadership literature in terms of volume and growth…

Equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) policy frameworks are enacted to establish and maintain equitable and fair conditions for marginalised students. However, marginalised students, specifically refugees and forced migrants, face multiple obstacles when entering higher education (HE). The ability to overcome many of these hindrances rests in…

Student absenteeism surged during and after the pandemic, harming engagement and achievement. We evaluate the impact of Washington DC's High-Impact Tutoring (HIT) Initiative--designed to mitigate learning loss through targeted academic supports--on student absenteeism. Using daily attendance data and a within-student fixed effects design, we find…

Outcomes and professional characteristics of doctorate level occupational therapy graduates have been examined, yet there has been limited study of professional identity development. This paper highlights outcomes emerging from secondary analysis of data gathered in a qualitative study on the professional identity development of post-professional…

In "Leading Toward Liberation", Annmarie Caño reimagines academic leadership as a practice rooted in liberation and equity. Drawing on her experiences as a Latina, first-generation college student, clinical psychologist, and higher education administrator, Caño shows how leaders can foster inclusive cultures where everyone thrives.…

Research in the field of gifted and talented has significantly shifted in recent years to focus on broader conceptualizations of the construct, including performing arts, creativity, and leadership. Yet, it is not clear how states conceptualize and identify students as gifted and talented given the last review of state gifted and talented…

In this article, we examine the transformative influence of Anthropocene-driven semantics on the education system through Luhmann's social systems theory. We analyze how the historical and current concepts of "Human" and individuality have shaped educational semantics and influenced the system's self-description. Critical perspectives…

Private international education is on the rise, but we still have limited knowledge on how different commercial actors operate in this field and how it affects local teachers and their work in the schools abroad. Swedish school companies have been active in exporting schooling in the international arena, including "Swedish" education…

It is well within the capacity of a wealthy nation like the United States to provide high-quality education for all its citizens. The resources exist to ensure that every child, regardless of background, has access to excellent educational opportunities. Yet, in practice, our educational systems, particularly admissions to selective schools, are…

Purpose: This work concerns William Norman Illingworth [1902-1980]. Disillusioned with teaching in conventional schools and inspired by Rudolf Steiner [1861-1925] he founded Sangreal School, in 1947, and operated this until the early 1970s. Sangreal was what I describe as a "conservative alternative school", employing methods and…

Educational researchers are increasingly evaluating intervention effects on educator outcomes -- such as knowledge, beliefs, and practice -- as an important precursor to intervention-induced change in children's learning and development within educational settings. This may yield important insights into intervention efficacy, feasibility, and…

As more teachers exit the workforce, school leaders need practical solutions to support teachers and keep them in the profession. This study examined the lived experience of secondary school teachers with perceived organizational support and teacher resilience. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with Ohio public school teachers of grades…

In "Flip the Script," the authors propose that to build relationships with and engage students, educators must examine core beliefs and assumptions that create unintentional barriers to supporting students. Through self-exploration, empathy building, and real-life examples from five master teachers, educators can learn how to help…

Inequity in education is pronounced when data is used to form rigid class ability groups. Rigid grouping means that students with backgrounds that disadvantage them in education can be locked into low 'ability' class groups. In contrast, informed and flexible use of data can support adaptable and heterogeneous ability grouping, which better…
