This qualitative study examines the experiences of first-year TAs as they conducted teacher research projects in the TA practicum. We argue that teacher research in the practicum provides a way to bridge teaching and knowledge making, foster a continual and layered learning practice, and extend the learning of the practicum beyond the first year.

Office hours are a widely used, optional form of academic support that allow students to meet with their instructors outside of class time. Despite evidence that students benefit from student-faculty interactions, instructors broadly report that office hour attendance is poor. This article describes the implementation of a weekly "Alternative…

More and more cities and counties fund and run their own early childhood programs, but each seems to operate them in its own unique way. While the opportunity to design and build a new program can be inspiring, the process itself can be painstaking and fraught with second guesses. Unfortunately, there are few resources to help policymakers and…

Many teachers are ill-prepared to support LGBTQ+ students. School-Based Agricultural Education (SBAE) is often perceived as not inclusive of these youth. Therefore, we explored perceptions of SBAE alumni who identified as LGBTQ+ regarding their SBAE programs' climates. The study's quantitative phase described participants' perceptions regarding…

Concerned by competitive grantmaking's role in the racialized (re)production of inequality, we applied a Bourdieusan lens and postsecondary racial neoliberalism to examine Title V--a competitive, federal grant program for Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs) poised to mitigate racially patterned funding inequality. Specifically, employing a…

Feeling a sense of belonging is increasingly regarded as vital for language teacher wellbeing and for determining whether they want to become teachers and/or remain in the field.
