The presence of trans students is becoming more commonplace in both urban and rural school settings, yet schools remain unprepared and inconsistent in their approach to supporting trans students. In many schools, trans youth must advocate for themselves (Horton, 2022), because schools are not prepared for their arrival. Most schools, in fact,…

Background: Family carers of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are at increased risk of stress and often face barriers to accessing appropriate supports. Peer support can enhance the effects of well-being interventions, yet research is limited regarding family carers' experiences within peer support roles. Method:…

This paper presents a scoping review of the literature on educational neurotechnology, examining its types, methods, applications, opportunities and challenges. A total of 4236 articles were identified from PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Web of Science and ERIC, with 471 peer-reviewed studies selected and analysed following PRISMA guidelines and…

California Reconnect is a three-year initiative (2023-2026) led by InsideTrack, in partnership with the Institute for Higher Education Policy, to support re-enrollment and success of learners with some college but no credential (SCNC). Education Northwest is conducting a multi-year mixed-methods evaluation of the initiative. This interim…

Alcohol prevention research for college students has resulted in numerous efficacious approaches, but the timeline from development to implementation is long. The College Alcohol Intervention Matrix (CollegeAIM) is a dissemination and implementation tool developed in 2015 and updated in 2019 to aid in the selection of evidence-based alcohol…

Student engagement is critical to academic success, particularly in the interdisciplinary field of biomedical engineering (BME). However, engaging and motivating students in class have become increasingly challenging, with the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbating this difficulty. This Perspectives paper synthesizes the insights from three faculty…

Students with emotional dysregulation are not equipped with the ability to manage their own behavior. This often leads to major disruptions in the general education setting, interfering with the student's learning and the learning of others. This study examined the effects of a mindfulness-based intervention on the presence of disruptive behavior…

Few studies have explored how whiteness might be reinforced in the "trauma-informed" assessments, practices, and policies of school social workers. This critical qualitative research study asks: How does whiteness structure how Canadian school social workers recognize, understand, and respond to students' expressions of trauma in K-12…

There is evidence for mindfulness as a mental health intervention for autistic adults, but most of the research has focused on in-person interventions. This randomized controlled trial evaluated the impact of a 6-week manualized autistic-informed group-based virtual mindfulness intervention in comparison to a waitlist control. Sixty-three autistic…

This paper discusses two interventions that explored the use, practice and outcomes of e-portfolios and videos in encouraging reflective practice (RP) in pre-service teacher education programmes in Bangladesh and Malaysia. The first case (Bangladesh) evaluates a tailored intervention facilitating student teachers' online reflections via Google…

Providing multiple representations of mathematical ideas is an established strategy for supporting students in making connections between high-level conceptual ideas. One form of assistive technology that provides students with such representations is mathematics manipulatives. Virtual manipulatives, in particular, are backed by a growing research…

Children with intellectual disabilities often find acquiring age-appropriate reading skills difficult. We evaluated the impact of a structured online reading intervention on the reading skills of children aged 5-11 years in special educational needs (SEN) schools in England. A two-armed cluster randomised controlled trial (cRCT) compared…

Despite extensive research suggesting the importance of students developing strong foundational math skills during early grades, more than 60% of 4th graders in the United States lack proficiency in mathematics. Such data are influenced by several factors, including summer learning loss in math, negative impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, and a…

Cultural practices in Pakistan often contribute to the perpetuation and normalization of bullying and displays of power dominance, resulting in the behavior being disregarded or not recognized as socially unacceptable. In the educational environments in Pakistan, taunting and insults are widespread. However, in Pakistan, the bullies often go…

Educational researchers are increasingly evaluating intervention effects on educator outcomes -- such as knowledge, beliefs, and practice -- as an important precursor to intervention-induced change in children's learning and development within educational settings. This may yield important insights into intervention efficacy, feasibility, and…
