Zoe Esterly; Hannah L. W. Swoyer; Bridget A. Draxler – Writing Center Journal, 2023
Language expresses our values and identities, but in educational spaces, multidialectical and multilingual students' voices are often silenced in favor of Standard English (Lockett, 2019). As writing tutors and future language arts educators, we have developed a research-based inclusive grammar curriculum and classroom-based resources to expand…

Temple, Louise; Cresawn, Steven G.; Monroe, Jonathan D. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2010
Emerging interest in genomics in the scientific community prompted biologists at James Madison University to create two courses at different levels to modernize the biology curriculum. The courses are hybrids of classroom and laboratory experiences. An upper level class uses raw sequence of a genome (plasmid or virus) as the subject on which to…
