The purposes of professional experience within initial teacher education programs are varied (Russell, 2005).

This study investigated these themes. A pragmatic mixed-method…

Ambler, Trudy B. – Teacher Development, 2012
Many teachers use their own work as the basis for research and this can be a complex and confronting task. It demands merging the roles of teacher, researcher and research participant. These roles may not speak with one voice. Some voices are faint, mere echoes; other voices convey a more confident sense of the different roles. This paper draws on…

Bineham, Susan C.; Shelby, Liz; Pazey, Barbara L.; Yates, James R. – Journal of School Leadership, 2014

As a result, educational leadership is challenged to implement response to intervention (RTI). Despite increased literature addressing RTI, no consensus on…

Polly, Drew; Hannafin, Michael J. – Journal of Educational Research, 2011
