Digital image processing is an integral part of the computer vision field. However, traditional digital image processing teaching methods mainly focus on theoretical knowledge, lacking practical teaching content. To address this issue, this article proposes a project-based learning (PBL) model that consists of four key stages: project proposal,…

Registered Teacher Apprenticeship Programs offer a sustainable and innovative pathway for preparing pre-service special education teachers, particularly in rural and low-resourced communities. Exemplary programs integrate competency-based learning, rigorous on-the-job training, and structured mentorship, enabling apprentices to apply theoretical…

Background: Student voice practices (SVPs) are processes through which students can participate in and influence educational decisions affecting their own lives and the lives of their peers. This article examines teacher readiness for implementing SVPs. Focus of Study: Previous research has conceptualized readiness by considering the…

This study evaluates the Programming the Acceleration of Computing Education (PACE) Framework for Computer Science (CS) Systems Change, developed to promote equitable access to CS education for middle school students. Funded by an Education Innovation and Research (EIR) Early-Phase Grant, the intervention aimed to increase student understanding,…

Statewide school accountability systems have been required by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) for more than 20 years.

The task force may recommend that the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) consider an additional criterion when granting a waiver to the…

This evaluation brief describes how a district in receivership (state takeover) invested in PBIS to (a) enhance their systems to support staff, (b) implement evidence-based practices to support students, (c) use data to guide their implementation, and (d) ensure equitable supports for all students, including students with disabilities, to…

The third in a series of three evaluation briefs, this brief describes how a district in receivership (state takeover) invested in Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) to: (1) enhance their systems to support staff; (2) implement evidence-based practices to support students; (3) use data to guide their implementation; and (4)…
