From 2014 to the present, we have engaged in a series of studies examining the features of coaching that support teachers in reflecting on practice and moving toward transformation in literacy teaching. In this report, we engage in an inductive analysis of the findings across this body of work to identify the evidence-based design features…

Dissemination and use of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), the primary evidence-based psychosocial treatment for pediatric anxiety disorders, in school settings has been slow, occurring primarily in the context of randomized controlled trials (RCT).

Writing in mathematics is an essential skill for communication and many technical careers. Research suggests that writing in mathematics often leads to increased understanding and more effective communication. However, writing in mathematics is still underutilized as a method of instruction. Further, many college students practice example-based…

Authentic learning in online education is feasible with intentional instructional strategies and appropriate educational technologies, yet as a learning approach, barriers to implementation still exist. We argue that authentic learning in online education can be successfully supported when the characteristics of authentic learning are (a)…

Why choose the Integrated Curriculum Model (ICM) in an effort to "raise the bar" for all students? Results of an intervention targeting kindergarten through grade five students in Title I schools using the ICM to change teacher perceptions of student abilities are reported.
