Hudson, John – Composition Forum, 2014
Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgender-Queer (LGBTQ) representation in composition readers remains limited and is frequently nonexistent. In addition, the LGBTQ-related materials that do find their way into composition readers are often problematic. In this essay I explain why WPAs and composition teachers should be concerned about LGBTQ representation…

Block, Betty Ann – Quest, 2014
Scholars have sought to identify the complexity and multidimensionality of the phenomenon of sexual identity formation since the American Psychiatric Association declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder in 1973 (Bayer, 1981). This article addresses the manner in which the needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer [LGBTQ]…

Enfield, Mark; Stasz, Bird – Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2011
Reflection and Communities of Practice are common constructs in teacher education. Co-teaching is often seen as beneficial, yet teacher education students rarely have experiences being co-taught. Thus, reflection, communities of practice, and co-teaching, deserve careful consideration in designing teacher education learning experiences. Based on…

Turkheimer, Eric – Psychological Bulletin, 2011
Dar-Nimrod and Heine (2011) decried genetic essentialism without denying the importance of genetics in the genesis of human behavior, and although I agree on both counts, a deeper issue remains unaddressed: how should we adjust our cognitions about our own behavior in light of genetic influence, or is it perhaps not necessary to take genetics into…

Cheng, Rebecca Wing-yi – High Ability Studies, 2012
In this commentary on Ziegler and Phillipson's article, "Towards a Systemic Theory of Gifted Education" (this issue), the author commends their attempt to discuss gifted education from a systemic and contextual perspective, which she considers inspiring in terms of theoretical advancement and practical reconsideration. However, Cheng finds the…

Gujarati, Joan – Educational Forum, 2012
Studies have shown that teacher quality is the single greatest factor affecting student achievement. However, it is not simply enough to recruit highly qualified candidates and place them into the schools where they are needed the most; the United States needs a system to support and retain these teachers. This essay posits that school districts…

Balcazar, Fabricio E. – Journal of Organizational Behavior Management, 2012
Now spanning 31 years, the "Journal of Organizational Behavior Management" ("JOBM") continues to generate new conceptual ideas and high-quality research in the field of Organizational Behavior Management (OBM). However, it is a bit disheartening to realize that the growth (in terms of number of practitioners and researchers) and expected impact of…

Henkin, Roxanne – English Journal, 2012
In 2010, a number of suicides resulted in part because of bullying and cyberbullying. They include Tyler Clementi, Asher Brown, Seth Walsh, Justin Aaberg, Eric Mohat, Meredith Rezak, Raymond Chase, and Billy Lucas. These students were gay and lesbian and felt that they had no other option than to take their own lives. Research shows that because…

The FAIR Education Act (SB 48) was signed into law in California in July of 2011, amending the Education Code by requiring representation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons in the social sciences.

Baehr, Jason – Journal of Philosophy of Education, 2013
After a brief overview of what intellectual virtues are, I offer three arguments for the claim that education should aim at fostering "intellectual character virtues" like curiosity, open-mindedness, intellectual courage, and intellectual honesty. I then go on to discuss several pedagogical and related strategies for achieving this aim. (Contains…

Morsy, Leila; Gulson, Kalervo; Clarke, Matthew – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2014
As a response to the 2013 special issue of "Discourse" on marketisation and equity in education, this paper suggests it is important to understand how school sectors (independent, Catholic and government) continue to play a significant role in how we constitute education, markets and equity in Australia. The first part of this paper…

Benedict, Cathy – Yearbook of the National Society for the Study of Education, 2012
It is the goal and the purpose on which the utopia is based that merit attention. As such, in this paper, the author engages in what Gilroy (in Shelby & Gilroy, 2008) referred to as a "utopian exercise" in order to think through one's "romance with" music as "part of the core curriculum" and as "balanced, comprehensive, and sequential". She…

Woocher, Jonathan; O'Brien, Kate; Isaacs, Leora – Journal of Jewish Education, 2010
For millions of American Jews, the words "Jewish education" most likely conjure images of days spent in synagogue classrooms decoding Hebrew, reciting prayers, learning holiday customs, and reading about biblical figures. This is the past, but (we hope) not the future of congregational education. This form of part-time, mostly…

Young, Anna M.; Battaglia, Adria; Cloud, Dana L. – Quarterly Journal of Speech, 2010
Activists understand "engagement" to entail working toward positive social change in a sometimes uncivil, aggressive manner. However, scholars' enthusiasm for engagement is often policed by their affiliate institutions via various forms of depoliticization and/or apoliticization inside the academy. In this article, the authors argue that policing…

Blum, Lawrence – Journal of Moral Education, 2010
Although Almond argues that the contemporary West has lost touch with the value of tolerance, I argue that that value applied to those of different religions and sexual orientations is too minimal a standard for a pluralistic society. I suggest, in the spirit of the work of Charles Taylor and Tariq Modood, the more robust standard of respect and…
