Knowledge co-production is a solution-oriented approach to analysing real-life problems such as making the right decision in a given scenario. The most popular examples come from evidence-based policymaking contexts.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the next evolution of our quest for technology integration, one that moves away from the "product" of teacher decision making (i.e., the type of use) towards their "process" of decision making. After presenting a brief history of our field's quest, we bring together three ideas about…

In this study, we explored experiences of Ontario students who engaged in a university-to-college (UTC) transfer.

We focused on motivations…

In this methodology paper, we present a methodology for characterizing how teachers use coaches' suggestions. We identified suggestions from planning conversations and explored the extent to which the teachers implemented the suggestions in enacted lessons. The planning conversations took place within online content-focused coaching cycles. A…

While finding interventions with proven effectiveness has become easier through resources like the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC), identifying what works for diverse student populations can still be challenging. Knowing the context, specifically, sample demographics for research, can help bridge this gap. In a recent scan of studies that met WWC…

An East Texas Independent School District has a historically high teacher turnover rate that has been consistently higher than the state's and the regional service center's rates for the past ten years. The school district serves a rural community in northeast Texas with a low socioeconomic and predominantly white student body population. This…

Clinical nursing faculties struggle to assign failing grades to underperforming students in the clinical setting; this is known as failure to fail. Qualitative literature has revealed common factors for failure to fail; however, quantitative studies are required to determine the extent to which those factors affect the faculty's decision-making…

Education researchers claim collaboration between school district leaders and principals is one of the key factors in successful school districts. Collaboration creates alignment and coherence throughout the organization. Factors that foster this collaboration are limited throughout education literature. This qualitative study explored factors…

L1 and L2 speakers of English judged 180 adjective-noun collocations as (a) high frequency, medium…

Special education teachers of color are underrepresented in research about attrition and retention, despite evidence of their role in the academic, social, and emotional success of students of color.
