This conceptual paper proposes an acknowledgement & forgiveness dialectic as a core foundation to faculty development of inclusive teaching. With increasing diversity across United States' university campuses and an increasingly tense sociopolitical climate, there are renewed calls for racial justice and equity pedagogies on college campuses.…

Previous research has indicated that many K-12 computer science teachers do not have a background in computer science education. This means, computer science teachers are not necessarily using established habits of mind they learned from their own studies. The purpose of this study is to understand more about the habits of mind needed by computer…

In preparing students for 21st century academic and professional success, integrated Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) instructional practices are changing the landscape of contemporary classroom instruction. Teacher perceptions of self-efficacy in teaching integrated STEM content were measured. Students' perceptions of…
