The past few years have seen a shift in many universities' admission policies from test-required to either test-optional or test-blind. This paper uses laboratory experiments to examine students' reporting behavior given their application package and the school's interpretation of non-reported standardized test scores. We find that voluntary…

This paper seeks to examine and unpack cultural diversity and 'Others' in United Arab Emirates schools through the lens of teachers and school leaders as Culturally Responsive Teachers (CRT). Such teachers discursively construct government and private schools, as not just heterogeneous because of students of Emirati and non-Emirati origins, but as…

This report analyzes changing racial composition in a comparable subset of schools to enable policy-relevant comparisons between charter and magnet schools. It reports the levels of segregation and diversity in these two systems, which is important because of strong evidence that diverse schools produce educational gains and substantial lifelong…

In the past four decades, it is interesting to note that the issue of gender diversity management (GDM) in education has attracted scholarly and policy attention. However, there has been little or no study on the perceptions and policy practices of GDM in Ethiopian public higher education institutions (HEIs). Therefore, the purpose of this article…

This meta-analysis evaluated experimental studies testing the effectiveness of the "Self-Determined Learning Model of Instruction" (SDLMI) to improve the academic and nonacademic behaviors of students with disabilities.

"Lau" transformed schooling for millions of students, but we should examine what its "equal protection" and assimilationist logic did not entail and thereby illuminate prospective academic and social good that it did not generate. This paper does just that by examining Nebraska's well-resourced second-largest district and how…

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a program aimed at enhancing the confidence and proficiency of prospective teachers in using culturally responsive teaching techniques to effectively instruct mathematics to diverse learners.

In this article, I examined parents' views of a gifted and talented (G&T) phase out proposal in an effort to document how the aspirational class can disrupt, instead of reproduce, racial inequities in diverse schools. Using qualitative methods, I found that parents' educational consumption practices fit with their philosophy of education,…

This article examines paradoxes in music education, focusing on tensions between inclusivity, democratization, and the traditional concept of "excellence."

Supporting pupils' development regarding subject knowledge and disciplinary literacy is a complex and challenging task for teachers. Research shows that language-integrated physical education (PE) can assist children's language development. However, it tends to reduce the time for physical activity, which is problematic since youth's physical…

Emergent bilingual children with disabilities are represented across many student subgroups which are disproportionately affected by rigid disciplinary policies and behavioral support systems, as well as exclusionary policy implementation in general and special education. This qualitative study investigated how teachers read and enacted policies…
