High-quality education for students with visual impairments starts with service intensity determination based on the needs of students by teachers of students with visual impairments (Lewis & Allman, 2017; Spungin et al., 2016). Even though the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) emphasizes addressing students' needs…

Introduction: The social context can influence the biological maturation process, favoring or damaging the functioning of the nervous system. The impact of the environment on the frontal lobe is of great relevance since the so-called Executive Functions (EF) are developed there. EFs are in charge of planning, anticipating, executing behavior and…

The purpose of this pilot study was to determine whether positive results from a word-problem intervention implemented one-to-one contributed to similar outcomes when implemented in small groups of three to four students. Third-grade students experiencing mathematics difficulty (N = 76) were randomly assigned to word-problem intervention (n = 56)…

The purpose of this qualitative design-based study was to use peer coaching as an intervention to encourage preservice teachers (PTs) to enact adaptive teaching. Twenty PTs were instructed in the use of a reflective model for peer coaching. Then, co-teaching in pairs, PTs taught using a curricular model requiring adaptiveness, and they provided…

This scoping review provides a comprehensive overview of available experimental research on writing interventions for K-12 students with learning disabilities (LD). After conducting a systematic search across multiple databases, journals, and previous meta-analyses, we located a total of 194 studies. Each study included in this review met the…

Teachers are the single most important in-school factor affecting student learning outcomes. As a result, researchers and policy makers are particularly interested in the ways that teacher-level factors influence the learning opportunities that teachers provide in their classrooms. A growing body of research suggests that the expectations a…

Narration has been shown to be a foundational skill for literacy development in school-age children. Elementary teachers routinely conduct classroom lessons that focus on reading decoding and comprehension, but they rarely provide instruction in oral narration (Hall et al., 2021). This multisite randomized controlled trial was designed to…

The achievement gap is a historic and pervasive issue of social justice in education. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has further stalled student achievement in reading and math, amplifying the urgency for accelerating student learning to close the gap. The third grade is a critical year for literacy in education; if students have not mastered…

Purpose: This tutorial describes how a speech-language pathologist (SLP) might incorporate writing-based principles into therapy sessions to target a variety of speech and language goals for Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) children in addition to writing. We present an illustrative example of one SLP's experience implementing Strategic and…

Many adolescent readers experience difficulties comprehending informational text, which may result from underlying difficulties with foundational skills (e.g., word recognition and fluency), knowledge demands (e.g., background, text structure, and vocabulary), and/or reading motivation. Supplemental interventions for adolescents targeting only…

The need for well-implemented evidence-based interventions (EBIs) for the prevention of behavioral issues among children and adolescents is substantial. In rural areas, the need often matches or surpasses that of urban areas. Schools have a wide reach for prevention-focused EBIs. However, implementation in rural schools is often hindered by…

This quasi-experimental mixed-methods design examined the effects of a Modified Argument-Driven Inquiry (MADI) on elementary school boys' and girls' engagement in learning science (ELS) and performance of argumentation. Thirty-two children were randomly selected to participate in a two-semester 24-h intervention, forming an experimental group (EG,…

The main objective of this research was to analyze the impact and development of intervention programs based on the Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility (TPSR) model within the school context. A systematic review was conducted in seven international databases. The keywords "TPSR" and "Education" were used in different…

This qualitative study explores the motivations, barriers, and facilitators underpinning the adoption of the Mindset Teams programme in primary schools across Scotland. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 18 teachers across six Mindset Teams schools and 14 wider stakeholders working across local, regional, and national levels. Findings…

Mathematical problem-solving is a core content of primary school education. Therefore, it is necessary to provide all students with a meaningful way of acquisition of problem-solving skills. The objective of this research was to verify the effectiveness of a problem-solving routine based on the Pólya's model and the use of cognitive strategies…
