The purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to determine if, and to what extent, correlations existed between K-12 teachers' perceptions of principals' servant leadership behaviors, teachers' trust in administration, and teachers' work engagement in the United States. The theoretical frameworks guiding the research were the Servant…

"The Framework for K-12 Science Education" and the Next Generation Science Standards require teachers to integrate engineering design into K-12 science teaching. However, many teachers have no formal preparation in engineering design and how to integrate it into science instruction. Furthermore, few models exist for preparing teachers in…

This study explores secondary mathematics teachers' perceptions of the experiences that contributed to their capacities to understand mathematical modeling and to facilitate students' modeling experiences. The retrospective research methods and transformative learning theory frame used in the study honor teachers as adult learners and value their…

This article explores notions of spatiality, race, and productive disruptions of whiteness; focusing on two dinners which were one component of a mixed method study on racism, teaching, and implicit race bias with secondary teachers in Toronto, Canada.

Differentiated instruction (DI) is a pedagogical framework to which all students can be engaged in their learning and achieve academically in their schooling. While DI is for all students, there is little research in DI for students with learning difficulties, in senior-secondary schools in Australia. This research formed part of a larger study,…

Teachers' ability to accurately judge students' monitoring skills is important as it enables teachers to help students becoming better self-regulated learners. Yet, there is hardly any research on this crucial teacher skill and a framework is missing. We present a novel conceptual and methodological framework integrating teachers' judgments of…

Purpose: This study builds on previous theoretical work that considered artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential for creating "teacher-centaurs" whose labor could be accelerated through the use of generative AI (Fassbender, in review). The purpose of this paper is to use empirical methods to study centaur teachers and the division…

Across the world, countries have engaged in different iterations of curriculum change, and one of the common denominators of reform is the proposal of more agency for teachers around curriculum making. This is not an easy task for teachers. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the discussion about the effects that international ERASMUS+…
