The paper considers what can be done to develop equitable education systems by describing and analyzing a three-year initiative that took place across a city in Scotland. Set in a particularly challenging context, with high levels of socio-economic disadvantage, the study involved a design-based implementation research methodology within which…

It is evident that schools and community organizations can no longer continue to function parallel to one another; rather, they need to work together in partnership. This article examined the challenges of establishing and maintaining school-community partnerships in township secondary schools in the Johannesburg Central District and presented…

SA is an organization that promotes science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education. As a small organization, it continues to look for partnerships that allow the expansion and development of this educational coursework. The organization faces barriers to receiving private and public partnerships. In this professional administrative…

Understanding the effective implementation of evidence-based practices in schools is a critical step to maximising educational outcomes for all students. The Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) has been working closely with a small number of schools on the Learning Partner project to learn about implementation in their settings and…

This paper reports on a study investigating the implementation of peer support groups (PSGs) for the purpose of supervisor development in higher education. The context for the study is a national doctoral programme in Norway, where PSGs were introduced as an important part of measures aimed at the development of PhD supervisors. The aim of the…

Underserved populations' access to college continues to increase across the United States; however, the number of students from underserved populations attaining college degrees is not growing at the same rate.

Scholars deem university partnerships with public schools as an innovative opportunity to marry research and practice. In part because they can support developing and implementing evidence-based interventions that improve school culture, academics, and community participation. However, what is less discussed are the barriers and challenges of…

Cover crop mixtures are popular among farmers because they can provide a broader range of ecosystem services than monocultures. However, designing effective cover crop mixtures is difficult because differences in competitiveness among species can cause uneven growth within mixtures, reducing benefits from the suppressed species. The Cover Crop…

Decades of research form an extensive body of knowledge on International Collaboration in Research (IRC). However, experiential perspectives of the operative core (the academics) in research collaboration, remained relatively uninvestigated. Besides, explorations on how academics in peripheral countries accomplish IRC are still very limited.…

High-impact tutoring also known as high-dosage tutoring (HDT), is distinct from general tutoring. As a model, it consists of practice guidelines around training, frequency, and length of tutoring sessions.
