This study seeks to understand from the perspective of its participants the extent to which a year-long structured, state-level peer mentorship program for world language educators provides benefits, focusing on how involvement impacts their classroom practices and professional development. Research questions explore the specific advantages gained…

This paper explores the application of a benefits versus costs reflection approach within non-university teaching environments, grounded in the principles of Value-Sensitive Design. Aimed at integrating human values systematically into the adoption of digital educational tools, this study involved 136 in-service school teachers across various…

As schools have become ethnically, culturally, and linguistically diversified, multicultural mathematics education is emerging as the paradigm of school mathematics reform. When considering that an enacted curriculum is a set of beliefs put into action by a teacher, it is important to understand teachers' beliefs for the successful implementation…

Standard approaches to studying intercultural communication empirically include pedagogical interventions, interview-based studies, and questionnaire research on teachers' and students' experiences with intercultural communication. Such studies assume standard positivist or post-positivist epistemologies and research methods. The present article…

The author responds to the growth of Jingxiu Cheng's teaching described in Akiko Hayashi's "Teaching Expertise in Three Countries" by describing the ways his own growth as a teacher of writing mirrored both her increasing focus on valuing children's feelings and experience and in the collaborative nature of that growth. He tells how an…

This paper reports the results of a study conducted in an elementary education mathematics methods course aimed at increasing elementary preservice teachers' (EPTs) level of professional noticing. Weekly reflections conducted by EPTs from tutoring sessions were video recorded and scored using the Framework for Learning to Notice Student…

This dissertation investigates the impact of a pedagogical class and a Community of Practice (CoP) on the implementation of reading strategies by faculty at a community college. It explores the types of reading strategies instructors plan to use, their integration into classroom practices, the factors enabling or impeding this implementation, and…

Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) scholars have long advocated for the inclusion of reflective writing as a legitimate form of scholarship. That said, for those instructors seeking to publish their reflective work, especially scholarly personal narratives (SPNs), there are persistent gaps between the aspirations of the field and the…

The National Science Foundation-funded Eddie Bernice Johnson INCLUDES Aspire Alliance (Aspire) has made efforts to address broadening participation in STEM through multiple initiatives, including faculty professional development. Aspire, recognizing the positive outcomes related to inclusive teaching, developed the Inclusive Professional Framework…

This resource-rich guidebook supports faculty developers through the process of planning, facilitating, and assessing programs for mid-career faculty. Framing chapters draw from existing scholarship, national surveys, and the authors' pilot program to prepare faculty developers to launch their own initiatives. The heart of the book details program…

There are many prescriptive learning design models, which attempt to guide teachers to design for learning by taking advantage of digital technologies. This paper argues that more emphasis could be put on design for learning as an informed practice. Four principles are suggested: Designs for learning should be (1) informed by available, relevant…

This case study inspected mathematical learning opportunities that employed the results from the participating preservice teachers' (n=75) original visual arts creation process. Data obtained during this study provided empirical evidence for the educational viability of employing original Mondrian-style rectangle sets as a context for generating…

This study examines teachers' perceptions of the specific factors and conditions which shape international communities of practice as successful vehicles for their professional development. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with thirteen teachers in Poland who have extensive experience working in a wide range of international…

University educators are encouraged to be innovative in their teaching practice, and are often recognised and rewarded for these innovations. However, the effective dissemination and consequent adoption of such innovations is still relatively ineffective, despite the development of diverse dissemination frameworks and strategies. The literature…

Using an interdisciplinary, post-qualitative, pedagogical methodological (Burke, Crozier, and Misiaszek 2017) practice of "timescapes" (Adam 1998, Burke 2018a), I explore my longest teaching/mentoring relationship, spanning two decades. I conceptualize this process as a post-qualitative encounter (Davies et al. 2013). The first half of…
