Strength-based programs that incorporate technology have gained increasing popularity as an approach to improve outcomes for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Despite this, the core elements of strength-based technology programs remain poorly described. This study aimed to identify the core elements of strength-based technology…

Characteristics that contribute to successful redesign and launch of principal preparation programs may be understood collectively as the capacity of those programs. A model of capacity for redesign of principal preparation programs should strike a balance between the technical and professional aspects of teaching and leadership and the cultural…

Medical education may lack experiential training on authentic community engagement (CE). Employing a human-centered design approach with medical faculty and students to identify goals, opportunities, needs, and barriers to implementing CE research, we developed an Experiential Community Engagement Learning Series (EXCELS) pilot program. EXCELS…

The United States is experiencing a critical teacher shortage impacting public schools in all regions. Unfortunately, high teacher attrition rates can contribute to educational inequity for students, creating situations in which some students receive a higher quality education than others. Unfortunately, teacher attrition tends to be most…

Mobile performance support systems (MPSS) are being adopted to support workplace performance across many industries and organizations as a non-formal learning solution. MPSS provides just-in-time access to assist workers in completing job tasks from anywhere with minimal help from others. A review of the literature suggests that empirical research…

Critical race pedagogy (CRP) calls for pedagogical approaches that not only acknowledge but also actively resist race-neutral narratives, policies, and practices in education. In the context of undergraduate research (UR), CRP emphasizes the importance of creating research spaces where students of color can see their communities, histories, and…

This article explores how college students' beliefs about reciprocity are shaped through community engagement, particularly in the context of community-engaged research. Recent studies highlight the central role of reciprocity in students' engagement experiences; students not only seek reciprocal relationships and meaningful impact, but also…

Mathematics curriculums worldwide are being refined to prepare students for the twenty-first century by focusing on developing students' higher-level thinking skills. As a result, teachers need to adjust their pedagogical approaches to enact new curriculums, which is frequently facilitated through continued professional development (CPD). During…

Creating truly equitable education is a challenge. Equity, diversity, and inclusion endeavours are often characterized by a depreciative deficit-thinking and a problem-based view on diversity.

What would it look like to create a mentoring program specifically designed for transfer students, supporting them from pre-arrival to their graduation day? Whereas transfer student transition programs are often created with a deficit mindset or modeled after first-time, first-year research, these higher education professionals sought to create a…

Developmental math courses have long been considered a barrier for students (Benken et al., 2015), especially for minority and low-income students, who are enrolled in developmental courses disproportionately to their peers (Chen, 2016). Research has shown that various redesign efforts (e.g., multiple measures placement, corequisite support,…

Cultural responsiveness, or building on the strengths of the learning histories and social contingencies of students, is an important feature of instruction to engage students and ensure they feel represented in their classrooms. This systematic literature review examined which single-case designs have been used to study culturally responsive…

Teaching the scientific, historical, and social facets of global climate change, its causes, and inequitable impacts presents a challenge to most K-12 teachers. In this article we describe the design and implementation of a yearlong professional learning program created to support urban, public K-12 teachers in the creation and enactment of…

The purpose of the current qualitative study was to determine the professional needs of new teachers as identified by stakeholders using educational design research (EDR) methods and determine the content and structure needed to further develop the current mentoring program into a high-quality teacher induction program (TIP) with a mentoring…
