Educational Considerations
Considering how long societies have been educating their youth, the history of teacher education is relatively brief. The first efforts to provide systematic education for teachers with some kind of practical experience occurred in Rheims, France, in the late 17th century when Jean Baptiste De La Salle opened the first normal school.

Developing The Next Generation Of Distance Supervision, Lori A. Goodson, David S. Allen
Developing The Next Generation Of Distance Supervision, Lori A. Goodson, David S. Allen
The Advocate
Student teaching has long been an essential component of teacher education programs, and effective supervision is essential for successful internship experiences. Pre-service students’ needs must be weighed against the limitation of time and access for the university supervisor, often a full-time faculty member who has a formidable teaching load and other responsibilities. Additionally, direct, in-person observations can create observer effect, altering the reality of what is actually being observed. This article examines one university’s use of distant supervision utilizing technology to aid in the virtual classroom observations and conferencing to allow an elementary education major to student teach in a …

Educating Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders (Asds) To Delay Gratification In The Contet Of Temper Tantrums, Seungyeon Lee
The Advocate
Temper tantrums among young children are common, especially those with autism spectrum disorders. Delay of gratification is an essential component of temper tantrums. Teachers and parents seek management strategies for temper tantrums that are efficient, effective and ethical. The purpose of this applied behavioral analysis research was to compare various types of functional communication training with three children in the three and a half year old age range. In Phase One, to determine the misguided goal or function of each child’s temper tantrum, functional behavioral assessment was undertaken. In Phase Two, a reward menu was used to determine preferred rewards …

Contextualizing Teacher Education Emphases For Classroom Diversity, Kevin Murry, Cristina Fanning, Shabina Kavimandan
Contextualizing Teacher Education Emphases For Classroom Diversity, Kevin Murry, Cristina Fanning, Shabina Kavimandan
The Advocate
Nominal attention has been dedicated to standards of best practice that local teachers should demonstrate in teaching culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students. The CREDE standards address the gap and emphasize five transnational, universals of best practice for CLD students/families. However, recent research indicates that teachers practices indicative of the most important of these, contextualization, are among the least robust of those observed. Necessarily, future research is needed to unpack these findings. In the interim, we argue that teachers’ critical reflection on their own socialization is essential to the fundamental understandings necessary for standards-based practices with these students and families.

Learning Across A Lifetime Of Learning: Stages Of Teacher Development, Charles Kent Runyan, Steve Brown, Carolyn Fehrenbach, Kenny Mcdougle, Pam Sells, Ray Willard
The Advocate
This study presents a conceptual framework for examining the developmental stages of teachers and illustrates the differences found in student teachers as they develop. The research illustrates how by assessing a teacher candidate’s own perception of importance, mastery, and desire to improve, an instrument can be used to prioritize needs at different points of a teacher’s career as well as identify stages of development. The statistical data, analysis, and interpretation of a study utilizing the Teacher Need Assessment Questionnaire (TNAQ) with teacher candidates is displayed.

Don’T Tap The Keg And Eight Other Essential Rules Of Early Career Principals: An Editorial, Carolyn L. Carlson, Scott P. Myers
The Advocate
Principals that are early in their careers have unique challenges to face in order to become successful in their administrative positions. Early career principals, future principals, and those who educate future principals in education administration programs at colleges and universities should be aware of these potential obstacles. This list of nine “essential rules” seeks to challenge new and future principals, as well as those who educate them, to consider some of the unique challenges faced as well as offer insight to effectively overcome them.

The Ethics Of Unlocking A Billion More Brains, Melody M. Thompson, Jinjie Wang
Adult Education Research Conference
Online programs that engage a global audience are often promoted as “democratizing” education worldwide. However, the ethics of expecting students globally to conform to Western academic values and processes is largely ignored. Until programs are designed and delivered with cultural intelligence and humility, their full value will be compromised.

Literacy, Learning And ‘Participatory Parity’, Lyn Tett
Adult Education Research Conference
This paper investigates if participation in literacy programs contributes to alleviating social injustice using the lens of ‘participatory parity’ (Fraser, 2008). It argues that using this lens enables a focus on how social structures operate to deny social justice to some and so challenges an individual deficit approach to learners.
