The response to the coronavirus pandemic of 2020 (COVID-19) will leave a lasting impression on all sectors of education. For design educators especially, the rapid transition from traditional to distance modes of teaching was, and still is, particularly challenging. Design, and especially studio-based education, remain predominantly physically…

Increased investment in publicly-funded pre-kindergarten (pre-K) in the USA has come with a concomitant focus on teacher professionalization. Pre-K policies and professionalization efforts often fail to acknowledge that they are layered upon a history of previous policies. New policies are inscribed onto this "discursive archive." The…

In 2020, the global number of refugees reached record levels, pressuring asylum countries to determine more effective methods for facilitating integration. This article explores an array of stakeholder practices towards refugees in Surrey and Greater Vancouver, Canada. It is based on questionnaires and interviews that elicit the perceptions and…

While studies have explored the affordances and limitations of teachers' international experiences in developing their critical global perspectives, few have attempted to understand what teachers observe about gender roles and expectations during their time abroad. In this study, I interpret the narratives of three U.S. women teachers who…

Counseling professionals who identify as people of color, women, and gender or sexual minorities commonly suppress or negotiate their personal identities due to experiencing adversity. We describe findings from a narrative inquiry of counselor educators' experiences negotiating marginalized identities. Implications for intersectional…

Current understanding of international academic mobility tends to view migrant academics as career-oriented actors who can follow opportunities across borders with relative ease. This paper offers a more nuanced reading of international mobility in academia by analysing how the professional context influences migrant academics' decisions to come…

Career trajectories within the academic enterprise elicit copious amounts of literature, much of which focuses on individuals who hail from faculty and rise through the academic ranks to college and university administration. However, scholarly discussions that conversely pay attention to administrators who transition to faculty roles are not as…

Professional development and job satisfaction is a topic of great interest for all those who are involved in the field of early childhood education. Professional development is closely related to organizational development, both representing a result of continuous changes in education.

Teacher washout can disrupt teacher effectiveness and undermine the espoused pedagogy in teacher education programs. Teacher washout occurs once an individual occupies a teaching role after formal training but corresponds with the potency of teacher education programs and K-12 experiences. Teacher washout literature is limited and does not address…

Employee engagement is a critical component of a productive work environment. Female teachers have been found to exude lower levels of workforce engagement than their male counterparts based on a variety of quantitative studies completed in the past. Females dominate the field of education with nearly 70% of the workforce being comprised of women.…

America's teaching force does not represent the children in its classrooms. The majority of public-school teachers are white women, while the majority of their students are not. The system within which U.S. educators operate is infused with racist procedures and curriculum presented through a white, western, Eurocentric, patriarchal lens that…

Pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) has framed teacher education for decades, despite the difficulty of demonstrating that teacher preparation effectively develops PCK. Social studies educators have been especially wary of PCK, but their critiques have primarily challenged what knowledge is valued rather than its model of how teachers learn. This…

Building upon the circumplex approach to (de)motivating styles defined by self-determination theory, this research aimed: (a) to analyse the extent to which physical education (PE) teachers' (de)motivating teaching approaches differ across gender, school level, and years of teaching experience, and (b) to test paths from PE teachers' need-based…

Mathematics education researchers have highlighted that preservice secondary mathematics teachers (PSTs) need opportunities to learn how their content knowledge is contextualized during instruction. Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching (MKT) subdomains provide a way to understand mathematics discipline-specific knowledge that is unique to the…

Research has accumulated on the effects of teachers on student achievement, especially in mathematics. However, empirical evidence regarding the impact of formal teacher competence indicators presents a mixed picture. This study explores the influence of educational level, subject -- and grade-specific specialization, teaching experience, and…
