Background: Parenting is a primary mechanism through which children develop. Much is known about how parenting influences development over time; it is also critical to know what shapes specific aspects of parenting, particularly for families with higher socioeconomic risk. Objective: The current study examined how parenting stress, child behavior…

With the number of students classified as Dual Language Learners (DLLs) in U.S. schools consistently increasing, it is important for educators to consider academic interventions that include evidence-based practices to support DLLs. Specifically in the field of mathematics, several strategies have been recommended to support DLLs' mathematical…

Supporting parents in foundational positive behavior support strategies for use with their child is a commonly employed method to improve child behavior in natural contexts, including the home. Parents have learned and implemented a variety of strategies with integrity; however, there is limited research regarding the maintenance of skills.…

Understanding numerical magnitude is critical to the development of mathematics proficiency, and math interventions targeting magnitude knowledge have been shown to improve outcomes for students with math learning difficulties across grade levels. While recent studies have found that growth in magnitude knowledge mediates fractions intervention…

This systematic review addresses the research gap in understanding the efficacy of experimental interventions designed to improve the academic outcomes of English Learners with Learning Disabilities (ELswLD). After conducting a rich evaluation of reviews related to English Learners and to students who have disabilities, we contextualize the need…

Understanding numerical magnitude is critical to the development of mathematics proficiency. Math interventions targeting magnitude knowledge have been shown to improve outcomes for students with math learning difficulties across grade levels. However, while recent studies have found that growth in magnitude knowledge mediates fractions…

The Coventry Grid (CG) seeks to address clinicians' concerns over the misdiagnosis of autistic spectrum conditions (ASC) and attachment problems (AP). While literature exists exploring the clinical benefits of the CG, and recent modifications have included the Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) profile, its potential in the educational context…

This study takes a more holistic look at reading support, to explore what else is happening in this teaching and learning context, beyond the acquisition of a more secure knowledge of decoding skills. Children are deemed in need of a reading support intervention when their literacy skills are assessed as being significantly below the levels…

At the turn of the century, bell hooks described the overarching lay view of feminism as a negative, man-hating ideology. Despite the enormous societal overhauls that have occurred in the decades since, it appears that in Japan little has changed. The marginalized position that women occupy in Japanese society is starkly illustrated by Japan's…

This study aimed to evaluate Promoting Reciprocal Relationships with Flexibility, Coaching, and Teaching (PRRFCT Match), a parent-mediated naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention package. An expansion from an earlier pilot study (see Kunze et al., 2021), PRRFCT Match incorporates virtual coaching between a novice coach and parent to…

The paper explores the use of digital technologies in religious education by focusing on a specific initiative: the development of a virtual tour within a learning management system to teach the history of Hagia Sophia. In responding to the primary research question, inquiring into the extent that contemporary technologies can enhance knowledge of…

Teachers are insufficiently prepared to address the rising mental health challenges among high school students in rural Manitoba, negatively impacting student engagement, academic success, and teacher well-being. Although teachers are often the first point of contact for students struggling with mental health issues, typical interventions are…

Low reading proficiency rates, exacerbated by pandemic-interrupted learning, have made research-based solutions documented in the Science of Reading a top priority for all learners. Although the benefit of explicit, code-oriented instruction in early literacy development has been well researched for learners in general, there is considerably less…

A college participant with a learning disability in the area of mathematics completed a strategy instruction intervention regarding mathematical problem-solving items. The participant responded to innovative interview questions regarding their approach to the mathematical problem-solving items (i.e., planning and reflecting) and their motivational…
