Jennifer D. Honaker; Ryan T. Miller – TESOL Journal, 2024
Teaching literacy skills that require critical reading and linguistic output can feel like an insurmountable challenge when presented with students of varying language proficiencies.

Tucker-Smith, T. Nicole – Educational Leadership, 2021
Diversity, equity, and inclusion training often falls into one of three categories: Equity PD that works, equity PD that doesn't work, and equity PD that looks like it works but doesn't. The third category is the most dangerous, says Nicole Tucker-Smith. How can we make sure our professional learning isn't falling into that trap?

Richards, Kendall; Pilcher, Nick – Teaching in Higher Education, 2023
We argue that current approaches to Study Skills support are presented as being a panacea for resolving the issues presented by neoliberal approaches to educational expansion.
