Using an interpretative phenomenological analytical approach, this…

The limited research regarding post master's degree school counselor clinical supervision (SCCS) denotes school counselors' desire to participate in SCCS, the lack of such participation, benefits of participating in SCCS, and barriers to seeking SCCS. Prior literature explored barriers to SCCS, but there continues to be a gap in the literature as…

Gaining useful insight into real-world problems through mathematical modelling is a valued activity across several disciplines including mathematics, biology, computer science and engineering. Differential equations are a valuable tool used in modelling. Modelling provides a way for students to engage with differential equations within a…

In this paper, we investigate the working lives of three Australian teachers in the hardest-to-staff schools as they tell their stories of how teacher attrition has impacted them and others.
