An exploratory case study was conducted to understand if leveraging school-university partnerships to improve school-wide professional development by using teacher input resulted in teachers implementing evidence-based practices in their inclusive classrooms. We sought to understand the extent to which a school-wide PD grounded in research and…

Background: Current return to learn (RTL) after concussion guidelines lack specificity for individualized student care, limiting potential for adoption and implementation. We used a community-engaged research framework to develop and evaluate the implementation of a student-centered care plan that assists school personnel in facilitating RTL.…

Many schools use paraprofessionals to implement and monitor interventions. Though paraprofessionals are cost-effective, many questions remain about the training and skills they need to implement a wide array of school-based interventions. In this study, we compare paraprofessionals' (i.e., undergraduates) implementation of the Group-Academic…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of digital behavior intervention plans (DBIPs) with multimedia anchored instruction on general education teachers' fidelity of implementation while teaching students with disabilities. A multiple probe design was used to investigate the effects of DBIPs across six teacher-student dyads. The…

The main purpose of this study was to design and implement a professional development programme on technology integration for teachers in a public education centre based on the technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) framework and learning by design approach, and to evaluate the programme's impact.

We evaluate the success of TEQIP in improving the quality of technical education in the country. Our findings show significant impact of this intervention on the…

The evidence appears to be strong that faculty development programs increase retention, productivity, interest in leadership positions, and promotion for faculty. However, the spaces developed for historically marginalized faculty (HMF) are still limited and not focused enough. This study examined tailored programs and perspectives amongst faculty…

Research related to English as Foreign Language (EFL) curricula in Colombia is scant and mainly focuses on the analysis of policies and the challenges they pose to institutions. Consequently, there is a need for studies of EFL curricula in place in Colombia to serve as basis for evaluation and adjustment of current educational policies. This…
