Amid continued concerns regarding faculty engagement, along with heightened challenges associated with recruitment, retention, teaching and learning, and student success, this status report provides an update based on the June 2023 Faculty (Re)engagement Institute (FRI). During the edition of the June 2023 FRI, participants examined barriers…

This Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis study explores how elementary teachers made sense of their experience in the National Writing Project's Summer Institute and how it influenced their teaching of writing. Many elementary teachers have not received writing methods as a stand-alone course during their teacher preparation. Furthermore, the…

The Institute of Teacher Education and Development (INTED) was founded in Accra, Ghana, in 2011, thanks to a fellowship from Stanford University. The institute is a nongovernmental organization whose objective is to improve learner outcomes by supporting the professional growth of educators. At the center of INTED's model is a professional…

This study describes how mathematics education professors and mathematics professors conceptualize relationships between inquiry and equity. After participating in a week-long summer institute, 24 mathematics education professors and mathematics professors were interviewed twice (initial interview and member check). Then, participants engaged in…

Although teachers' learning has been increasingly recognised as nonlinear and contextually responsive, few studies have extended these understandings to the design and evaluation of professional development. In this case study, we examine nonlinear and contextual manifestations of high school science teachers' professional learning from a complex…

This one-page fact sheet describes "We the People" professional development opportunities. These include: (1) national summer institutes; (2) state and regional workshops, seminars, and institutes; and (3) advanced content seminars.

In health science education, interprofessional education (IPE) and collaboration (IPC) support the creation of healthcare teams that provide optimal patient care. Despite the need for increased IPE/IPC, most faculty remain siloed by discipline, offering an opportunity for teaching centers to serve as IPE/IPC hubs. This article explores faculty…

Visual representations, such as pathway models, are increasingly being used to both communicate higher education science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education program evaluation plans as well as accurately represent complex programs and the systems within which the educational programs reside. However, these representations…

As practice-based teacher education (PBTE) has become more prevalent, debates about its contribution have emerged. Critics of PBTE question whether emphasizing practice will support a technocratic approach to teacher education rather than promoting instruction that is responsive to students' ideas. This qualitative case study was motivated by an…

A plethora of literature exists identifying the importance of engaging students in learning within Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) undergraduate courses, making professional development (PD) for faculty teaching these courses vital. Yet few studies of PD programs focus on STEM faculty, incorporate direct measures of faculty…
