This article explores how the Jewish tradition of l'dor va-dor (from generation to generation) is reflected in the readers/writers workshop model, highlighting the role of mentorship and introducing the 6M framework to support student-centered reading and writing instruction.

This research explores the impact of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) on ideation and concept design of social robots capable of undertaking sustained long-duration human-robot interaction. The work reported here was developed between 2021 and 2024 through classroom teaching executed in four editions of 3-day project workshops involving…

This study examines the writing of adolescent Pacific Islander girls who, during a community-based workshop, drafted statements of purpose (SOP) for scholarship applications. Pacific Islander migrants are among the most marginalized residents in Hawai'i. Our project engaged the girls in telling their own stories through writing. Following New…

In this program profile, we recount the development of Fairfield University's award-winning WAC/WID program. We specifically describe the roles of labor and disciplinarity in building "shock-absorbent" WAC program architectures that enable WAC programs to persist. Arguing that labor resources are a central concern of WAC programs, we…

This paper shares an account of our wonderings, happenings, and learnings emerging from encounters between children, iPads, digital microscopes and found natural materials (and bugs!) in a series of workshops at a children's museum. Our intention is to build on and disrupt established theories about children's museums by thinking differently and…

This paper dwells upon what was agitated in a research methods workshop that invited postgraduate researchers to take seriously materiality, movement, bodies and affect -- as a starting place to explore how ecopedagogies might become both more capacious and creative.

For over two decades, faculty participants in the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Excellence in Civil Engineering Education (ExCEEd) Teaching Workshop (ETW) have learned the core principles of effective teaching and put these principles into practice during the workshop. Workshop staff and leaders, namely faculty serving as site…

This study contributes to knowledge about peer review by identifying how different components motivate self-regulating learners' adaptations in later writing. The study followed the changes to writing approach that first-year undergraduates deployed before, during and after peer review workshops. The workshops consisted of: holistically reviewing…
