The problem addressed in this qualitative study is that classroom teachers are not adequately prepared to identify gifted characteristics, which leads to the underreferral of students from diverse socioeconomic, ethnic, and language backgrounds. The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of public K-6 general education classroom…

From infrared body temperature surveillance to lifeguarding, real-life visual search is usually continuous and comes with rare targets. Previous research has examined realistic search tasks involving separate slides (such as baggage screening and radiography), but search tasks that require continuous monitoring have generally received less…

Children with intellectual and developmental disabilities and extensive support needs (ESN) face a high risk of experiencing traumatic events, which may lead to a myriad of negative mental and physical health and educational outcomes. Identifying symptoms and treating trauma, however, are challenging due to communication difficulties, vague or…

Purpose: Investigating stuttering recovery rates can be challenging, as recovery status can change based on self-report, later recovery, or relapse. In this study, we contacted previous child participants from our longitudinal studies (now older children to young adults) who were originally assigned persistence/recovery status guided by clinician…

Although specific learning disabilities (SLD) represent the largest category for which school-age children receive special education services, the science and practice of SLD identification continues to evade consensus. Our goal is to bring together trainers and researchers with different perspectives on SLD identification to help spur a move…

Research supports the use of multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) for meeting student academic, behavioral, and socioemotional needs. MTSS is viewed as an ideal model to deliver school-based mental health (SBMH) services to students. However, limited research has examined what this framework for service delivery looks like in practice. Utilizing…

Students with or at risk of reading difficulties (RD) benefit from accurate early identification and intervention. Previous research has employed various decoding measures to screen students for RD, but the criteria for identification have been inconsistent.

This study evaluates techniques to identify high-quality teachers. Since tenure restricts dismissals of experienced teachers, schools must predict productivity and dismiss those expected to perform ineffectively prior to tenure receipt. Many states rely on evaluation scores to guide these personnel decisions without considering other dimensions of…

This study examines the impact of the discourses of the Presidents of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) on education policies.

Background: Assessing children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) and Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) requires a clear understanding of how these conditions impact their daily lives. However, existing assessment tools are not systematically grounded in a theoretical framework, and there is a lack of consensus regarding the relevant…

A 2016 field study conducted in collaboration with the Houston Police Department reported that simultaneous lineups were diagnostically superior to sequential lineups, that confidence was strongly predictive of accuracy, and that high-confidence suspect identifications were highly reliable. The study also estimated that most lineups (65%)…
