Background: Behaviour supports plans (BSP), if accurately implemented, have been found to increase skills and decrease behaviours that challenge for individuals with intellectual disabilities. However, skills acquired by staff during trainings on BSPs often fail to transfer into effective implementation. The current study aimed to examine barriers…

This paper examines national, state, and local factors impacting the creation of a new dual language immersion program (DLI) program in a Midwestern school district, a relatively understudied regional context. Using a critical bifocal lens and an ethnographic case study methodology, we examined two main questions: first, why was the DLI program…

Contemporary pedagogical experts have stressed the importance of context in education as a critical determinant of the success of learning outcomes. These recent arguments stem from earlier scholars who claimed that the context of education is often taken for granted, although its influence on teaching and learning is crucial. Perhaps the main…

Background: Implementation issues often impede the realisation of the potential benefits of technology in disability care organisations for people with disabilities. Therefore, we conducted a longitudinal study to gain insights into the barriers and facilitators to implementation. Methods: From 2019 to 2022, data were collected using…

Introduction: Implementation of interprofessional education (IPE) is recognised as challenging, and well-designed programs can have differing levels of success depending on implementation quality. The aim of this review was to summarise the evidence for implementation of IPE, and identify challenges and key lessons to guide faculty in IPE…

Young people's perspectives on the potentialities of and problems with Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) in England are well documented.

Fullan's triple change model with its focus…

Background: This study evaluated stakeholders' perceptions regarding the initial implementation process of the health promoting school model proposed by the affordable health initiative (AHI HPS model) in schools of Belo Horizonte/BRA. Methods: The model has been implemented since 2019, by an implementation committee (IC) with members from…

Research indicates that racially and ethnically minoritized populations are more likely to receive low-value services in comparison to White populations. It is crucial to de-implement (i.e., replace or discontinue use of) these practices to make room for more effective alternatives and reduce disparities in outcomes. However, there is limited…

Behavioral interventions delivered in preschools can help young children who need support for their behavior. However, preschool teachers face barriers to implementing behavioral interventions, leading to a research-to-practice gap. To better understand how to support preschool teachers, we conducted a scoping review of determinants (i.e.,…

Seismic shifts are shaking the landscape of K-12 education. Public school districts across the US have lost over a million students since 2020. Meanwhile, novel educational models--such as microschools and hybrid homeschooling--have more than doubled their enrollments. This paper explores what's driving families to seek these new learning…

Based on qualitative and quantitative data collected from an investigation of the flagship National Teacher Training Project (NTTP) in China, this study compares the impacts of teacher professional development (PD) programs located at different distances from the participants' workplaces. The study argues that local and nonlocal programs play…
