Background/Purpose: This study examines the use of the Interactive Growth Guide, a structured coaching tool, within a year-long high-intensity induction program for beginning teachers. Specifically, the study investigates how the Interactive Growth Guide was integrated into the mentoring relationship between a beginning teacher and her coach and…

Learning analytics (LA) provides insight into student performance and progress, allowing for targeted interventions and support to improve the student learning experience. Uses of LA are diverse, including measuring student engagement, retention, progression, student well-being and curriculum development. This article provides perspectives on the…

In 2014, OSEP instituted the Statewide Systemic Improvement Plan (SSIP) reporting requirement. The SSIP was designed as a comprehensive multi-year plan for improving results for infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families through system strengthening efforts. States/entities work to improve their infrastructure, implement…

Family-school collaboration has proven benefits for students' social, emotional, behavioral, and academic functioning, yet many schools struggle to create and sustain effective partnerships with families. This timely resource provides an equity-focused, culturally responsive framework for embedding family collaboration within multi-tiered systems…

We report results from this psychometric study examining convergent validity between internalizing subscale (SRSS-I4) scores from the revised version of the teacher-completed Student Risk Screening Scale for Internalizing and Externalizing behavior (SRSS-IE 9) and the internalizing subscale from the Teacher Report Form (TRF). Using the sample of…

Enabling college graduates to achieve career success is increasingly considered a major responsibility of universities. Many studies have developed models of predicting students' career decisions and have sought to provide appropriate treatments or early support for students to achieve this goal. Most studies, however, have focused on using…

This theoretical article proposes using statewide weather-observing networks (Mesonets) to support data-intensive, issue-based teaching of atmospheric topics in middle and high school science. It is argued that the incorporation of this new technology and its affordances into the school curriculum can drastically change the ways that atmospheric…

Despite increasing calls to build equitable data infrastructures, the education field has yet to have a shared guideline around equitable education data management and stewardship. To address this gap, we propose one framework from the data governance literature: the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data management principles…

Using concordancers in English classes is demanding, time-consuming, and challenging to both teachers and learners. On the other hand, research points to the effectiveness of data-driven learning (DDL) in improving second/foreign language learning. The present study proposed a new task type, that is, DDL focus on form (FonF) tasks, as a…

Data-driven decision making (DDDM) is an important teaching practice that can positively influence student achievement by using assessment data to make instructional decisions. The problem is that teachers do not always use this practice. Teachers' perspectives of DDDM can influence their data use practices. This basic qualitative study was…

In this position paper, the authors lay out the imperative for equitable artificial intelligence (AI), highlighting the essential role of access-oriented institutions and calling on technology companies (both large and small), foundations, and local, state, and federal regulators to consult with the newly convened Complete College America Council…

Background: Maintaining cohesion is critical for teams to achieve shared goals and performance outcomes within a work-integrated learning (WIL) environment. Cohesion is an emergent state that develops over time, representing the synchrony of different behavioural interactions. Cohesive teams will exhibit such phenomena by their temporal…

Quality, timely, purpose-driven education in emergencies (EiE) data can enable more effective response to education needs in crisis settings and strengthen system resilience. However, a growing body of evidence points to a number of problems related to the production, sharing, and use of EiE data within education information management systems…

In recent years, a multitude of datasets of human-human conversations has been released for the main purpose of training conversational agents based on data-hungry artificial neural networks. In this paper, we argue that datasets of this sort represent a useful and underexplored source to validate, complement, and enhance cognitive studies on…

In inclusive education, students with different needs learn in the same context. With the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, it is expected that they will contribute further to an inclusive learning environment that meets the individual needs of diverse learners. However, in Japan, we did not find any studies exploring…
