I will discuss teacher use and implementation of decodable texts to support student application of grapheme-phoneme relationships and the strategies used to improve not only student learning, but their love for reading.

Essays in Education

As a result, …

Student Incivility And Poor Academic Performance: A Threat For Faculty Obtaining Tenure And Promotion, Kara R. Delafosse
The Journal of Advancing Education Practice
The ever-changing climate of academia has proven to be a significant challenge for educators across disciplines. Administration places great emphasis on student feedback from evaluations to determine if faculty are worthy of being granted tenure and promotion (Kreitzer & Sweet-Cushman.). Although student feedback is critical to measure meaningful learning from the scholars' lens and course revisions, the question remains whether it should be equated to distinguishing an educator's value. The overarching theme of incivility in the academic arena remains salient as some students extend malice deliberately to tarnish faculty reputation. Without regard to context and motive, untruthful allegations have the …

The purpose of this reflection is to expand the knowledge on the retention of early Black female faculty by exploring their challenges and triumphs in dismantling Whiteness and developing an authentic sense of belonging in the academy.
