Child development laboratory schools are found on college and university campuses throughout the U.S. Over the last century, they have acquired a long, rich history. Originally seen as settings for the new field of child study in the early 1900s, their functions have evolved over time. These programs often play a central role in supporting…

Background: Educators are under mounting pressure to address increasing standards for student performance, which includes meeting the needs of an equally increasing diverse student population.

Drawing from Bhabha's (2004) concept of interstices, we examined what constitutes quality teaching through a collaborative autoethnographic study. As two authors with different cultural backgrounds (a U.S.-based teacher educator born and raised in Korea and a U.S. elementary teacher candidate pursuing a career opportunity in Korea), we…

Disability Critical Race Theory (Dis/Crit) was useful as a tool and a lens for the development of a collaborative network of educators, community providers, and community stakeholders including educators, community members, parents, and individuals.

Schools in underserved districts experience pressure to improve achievement outcomes, trapping curricula, teachers, and students in a skills-driven literacy framework, repeatedly reinscribing a racist pedagogy. Although the research community recommends resisting skills-based literacy, researchers often neglect to commit to a research-practice…

This paper argues that teacher learning is not reducible to lists of "performative" standards. Funded by the Society for Educational Studies, we used "lesson study" as a vehicle to develop new teacher expertise, following which we concluded that conceptualising "learning to teach" as acquisition of standards is…

This paper presents the integration of a real time evaluation method of collaboration quality in a monitoring application that supports teachers in class orchestration. The method is implemented as an automatic rater of collaboration quality and studied in a real time scenario of use. We argue that automatic and semi-automatic methods which…
