Introduction: The initial response of higher education institutions (HEIs) to the COVID-19 pandemic was to shift to online learning as a contingency. However, not all students were equipped with the appropriate resources to make this shift. Research problem: There is scant contemporary research outlining the types of educational resources…

This case study engages educational leaders in exploring how district-specific stakeholder perspectives might impact recruitment policy implementation and resource allocation through the lens of the Community Cultural Wealth framework. The case introduces Dr. Sheila Hill, the superintendent of a large district with a significant population of…

Although the number of resource provision (RP) classrooms for the education of students with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) in English mainstream schools has increased, very little is known about their functioning and impact. Through collaborative research, based on critical communicative methodology, this study aims to: (1)…

Previous studies tend to not only assess principals' demographic variables but also use other dependent variables, such as administrative effectiveness, job performance, and student achievement. In the literature, principals' demographic qualities and the misuse of material capital have been under-assessed. This study used a quantitative approach…

The teaching-learning process is not only focused on traditional classroom instruction but also encompasses the online teaching process. It demands the importance of OERs in both the teaching-learning process and also in the assessment process. It helps in providing a new direction in the area of OER in higher education. The purpose of the study…

Adult educators integrate digital activities into instruction to provide flexible, engaging learning opportunities and help learners gain digital skills. Teachers are eager to create digital resources for their classes, but often are limited by the time and/or skills necessary to do so. A promising free-to-teachers solution employed in…

All states have a formula that determines how state funding is distributed to school districts. Most state formulas anticipate or require that school districts raise some funds locally and adjust state allocations based on that anticipated local share of school funding. In theory, state funding formulas attempt to provide school districts with the…

This exploratory piece is intended to set the stage for an ongoing conversation about Open Educational Resources (OER). The current OER landscape has hundreds of repositories and thousands of curated guides and lists for finding OER--few of which "talk" to each other behind the scenes, resulting in separate and often redundant resources…

Open Educational Resources (OER) have been adopted by growing numbers in higher education during the last two decades. Online repositories contain a myriad of OER content, learning objects, and activities. This article presents six case studies from both new and experienced instructors across multiple disciplines at a single institution. It…

Through a multistakeholder partnership, this research aims to catalyze the development of a blue economy corridor (BEC) through community-based asset mapping in the eastern portion of the Tar-Pamlico River Basin in North Carolina, a geographic area predominated by physically and culturally rural landscapes. Underpinned by appreciative inquiry,…

My project addressed the broad questions of what barriers exist to accessibility for students and staff with disabilities at Arizona State University (ASU) and the reasons both historical and contemporary why those barriers exist. The second objective of my analysis was to provide potential solutions to these problems utilizing the voices and…

In this paper we deal with a geometric machine that has gone somewhat unnoticed in mathematics education: the Perfect Compass. It allows conics to be drawn using a special two aperture compass, based on Apollonius' conic sections. Proposed in the 10th century, it seems that it was never built in medieval times--at least no archaeological remains…

Opponents of public charter schools frequently contend that they drain resources from traditional public schools--a potentially serious charge. But of course, it makes sense that traditional school districts get less money when they enroll fewer students. So from a policymaking perspective, the real question is whether districts' financial…

Assessment in physical education encompasses evaluating skills across the psychomotor, cognitive and affective learning domains. Given assessment's complex yet essential role in physical education (PE), practitioners need to access applicable information to assist them when conducting assessments. The purpose of this article is to outline a…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) literacy is essential for society as a whole. While general frameworks and resources to support self-directed learning on AI are widely available, research on how to support AI educators, particularly those without AI expertise (non-experts), using external materials and resources is relatively scarce. This article…
