Despite the fundamental role of teachers in School Mental Health Systems, their work has been under-recognized and under-supported. Moreover, few studies on this role have been conducted in low- and middle-income countries. This study explores and describes the mental health actions undertaken by teachers in schools and categorizes them using…

University curriculum systems are complex, and their modification requires coordinating multiple processes and broad consultation with teaching academics and leaders. Strong influences including policy changes and external disruptions can bring about rapid system-wide change, but these are not without stress and may not be sustainable. To…

Over fifty years of research investigating teacher burnout has resulted in a well-accepted model of burnout that involves three dimensions: exhaustion, depersonalization, and loss of accomplishment. Recently, a new cause of teacher attrition has been proposed called "demoralization," on the argument that demoralization is a distinct…

In this essay, the authors who identify as Women of Color (a Chicana, a Latina, and a Southeast Asian woman, respectively) faculty theorize their experiences with white resistance when teaching about race and racism in higher education. Drawing from Critical Race Theory, we merge our collective experiences of teaching about race into a composite…

Teachers' proactive and reactive classroom management strategies are a significant component of teaching effectiveness. Teachers need to develop such strategies to structure a positive classroom environment. In addition, teachers' self-efficacy beliefs concerning their classroom management strategies are equally significant. This research aimed to…

Currently, attacks on CRT and neoliberal legislation work to undermine public education and democracy in the United States. Divisive concepts legislation restricts what teachers say and do, acting as a counterwave to implementation of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. In this article, a collective of educators with diverse identities…

Montessori teachers in public schools navigate a system daily that often does not align with their pedagogy, and district policies push them to stray from high-fidelity implementation. Using Weick's sensemaking theory and literature on Montessori teacher identity, I contend that Montessori teachers' identity plays a crucial role in how, or if,…

However, math instruction centered…

Killian, et al. (2013) found that novice teachers when asked to list their concerns, most frequently listed self concerns and seldom listed student impact…

Instructors teaching an Indigenous education course face the challenges of shifting students' understanding and inviting them into the work of decolonizing education.
