Educational opportunity is unequally distributed in the United States, most notably by race and economic status. Commonly practiced in K-12 schools across the country, tracking and ability grouping serve to exacerbate those existing inequities. Recent renewed activism for racial and economic justice, coupled with concerns over learning loss due to…

Purpose: Drawing from the equitable education fund (EEF) launching 6Qs innovation in the teacher school quality program (TSQP) for small and medium schools, this research aims to analyze the effect size of the ordinary national educational test (O-NET) scores between TSQP schools that implement 6Qs innovation and non-TSQP schools and explain the…

In this study, we aimed to review scientific studies and research to present a view of artificial intelligence in education to achieve sustainable development in accordance with the foundations of the Kingdom's Vision 2030. We conducted a systematic review of previous literature by extrapolating and analyzing 17 previous studies published from…

Innovative learning practices are highly student-centric and student-responsive. Yet, while many educators talk about wanting their classrooms to emphasize student-centered learning, few schools actually walk the walk in terms of creating a school culture that supports the sustainable implementation of concepts, such as individualizing learning to…

This institutional case study evaluates staff engagement with a rejuvenated Peer Supported Review (PSR) process, which provides a mechanism for staff to review enhancements to practice within the broad arena of learning and teaching activities that impact on the student experience. The process is refreshed with a holistic quality model, which…

This paper focuses on school improvement processes in the context of weekly curricular-based teaching and learning activities outside the classroom -- known as "Draußenschule" or 'outdoor school' -- in three German primary schools. Qualitative interviews were conducted with three teachers two years after implementing the 'outdoor…

The Cognitive Acceleration (or Let's Think) approach to mathematics teaching is a Piagetian programme drawing on Vygotsky's research, developed at King's College London over 30 years ago, along with its associated professional development (PD) programme. This project sought to replicate the original studies conducted 10-15 years earlier and before…

Purpose: A growing number of schools are now implementing quality management systems (QMS). As a result, studies are being conducted to assess the educational benefits of these systems and their capacity to identify areas for improvement in school processes and performance. The purpose the present study is to assess the impact of ISO:9001…

This book contributes to our understanding how teachers can improve classroom dialogue and thereby boost student learning. The book reports the results of intervention research based on professional development program for teachers.

In this paper, we provide a report of preliminary findings of the Morgan State University (MSU) Student Engagement in Mathematics through an Institutional Network for Active Learning (SEMINAL) project and its focus on culturally responsive teaching (CRT) as an active learning framework for pre-calculus instruction. The paper concludes with a…

Just because a school has adopted a social and emotional learning (SEL) program does not mean it will work. This book explores the conditions needed to implement, strengthen, and sustain effective SEL, and identifies paths that schools, districts, and states have taken to create those conditions.

Project/problem-based learning (PBL) can provide an effective model for school reform when implemented with fidelity. In the report, "Rising Above the Gathering Storm," it was recommended that if the U.S. is to remain competitive in the 21st-century economy, there must be a serious effort to "enlarge the pipeline of students who are…

In this case study, we use organizational development and change theory to look at how the University of Oklahoma (OU) has attended to the mathematical pathway leading to STEM fields. Using multiple sources of data, we are able to create an informative narrative that provides the particular context of the situation and in-depth picture of the…
