Grappling with uncertainty is an essential element of students' science learning and sense-making processes, yet literature is limited regarding how teachers can facilitate and use student scientific uncertainty as a pedagogical resource in their classrooms. Furthermore, progress on pedagogical practice depends on both the ability to notice one's…

Recent studies have identified a growing need for educators to be trauma-informed. However, there is limited understanding of teacher trauma literacy or their professional learning and teaching experience. This study reports a new measure of teacher trauma literacy and is the first known study to assess the trauma and mental health literacy…

Background: Mastery motivational climate (MMC) interventions are an evidence-based approach utilized to deliver motor skill interventions (MSI) for young children. There are 6 environmental characteristics and instructional cues an instructor must appropriately manipulate to implement a MMC. These are known as the TARGET and stand for Task,…

Teaching multilingual students from African immigrant and refugee backgrounds in the U.S. remains a persistent challenge for educators.

Students with disability tend to report lower levels of school engagement. To date, research has focused on building students' extrinsic motivation and self-regulation with limited consideration of the impact of instructional barriers. In this mixed-methods study, we investigated the effect of teachers' participation in the Accessible Pedagogies™…

Graduate student instructors (GSIs) play a critical role in higher education, serving as instructors of record for a substantial portion of courses at research universities. This study evaluates the structure and processes of Duke University Graduate School's Teaching Triangles (TT) program, an interdisciplinary peer observation and feedback…

As flexible transitions between online and offline teacher training modalities become ubiquitous, educators encounter multifaceted challenges. Their collaborative roles and learning experiences across these distinct CSCL environments remain under-explored. This study aims to map patterns of teacher adaptation and acquire responsive strategies for…
