Fierce Leadership-Perspectives Of Black Women Educational Leaders: A Transcendental Phenomenological Study, Janice Taylor, Dianne Reed
Fierce Leadership-Perspectives Of Black Women Educational Leaders: A Transcendental Phenomenological Study, Janice Taylor, Dianne Reed
Tapestry: Journal of Research in Education
The authors of this transcendental phenomenological study aimed to describe the lived experiences of Black women based on their perceptions, values, and beliefs about the complexities of leadership and the kind of leadership required to succeed in their respective roles, as educational leaders. This study was framed by the adaptive leadership theory. Adaptive leadership recognizes the need for leaders to stay flexible and resilient in fast-paced environments (Nelson & Squires, 2017). The three Black women leaders in this study were fierce adaptive leaders. The information acquired from this study is significant and highlights how Black women educational leaders developed the …
Being-Their-Ship: A Presence-Based Model Of Human-Centered Leadership, Ricky J. Martinez
Being-Their-Ship: A Presence-Based Model Of Human-Centered Leadership, Ricky J. Martinez
Tapestry: Journal of Research in Education
Being-Their-Ship describes a presence-based approach to leadership grounded in lived experience rather than positional status. Developed over years of service in rural education, the framework highlights leadership as a relational practice grounded in steadiness, quiet support, and a willingness to take responsibility for others. Drawing from autoethnography and narrative inquiry, the framework articulates four interconnected dimensions: Caring-Ship, Loving-Ship, Load-Ship, and Being-There-Ship, that define leadership not through authority but through consistent action and cultural trust. Each dimension reflects how leadership emerges when individuals become a stabilizing presence, absorb burdens that others would otherwise carry, and remain committed to a community through …
Beyond Words: Supporting Nonverbal Autistic Preschoolers With Exceptional Cognitive Abilities, Dawn Timms
Beyond Words: Supporting Nonverbal Autistic Preschoolers With Exceptional Cognitive Abilities, Dawn Timms
Knowledge and Creativity Expo
This project explores how caregivers can support autistic preschoolers who are nonverbal yet demonstrate advanced cognitive abilities. Grounded in communication theory and neurodiversity‑affirming practice, it reframes communication as a shared, relational process that extends beyond spoken language. Drawing from interdisciplinary research, I created a strengths‑based caregiver communication toolkit that translates complex theory into clear, practical strategies families can use in everyday routines. This work honors the intelligence of children whose thinking outpaces their speech and equips caregivers with tools that make communication more accessible, responsive, and affirming.
Pre-Service Teacher Perceptions, Katie Swart
Pre-Service Teacher Perceptions, Katie Swart
Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina
Several studies over the past five decades have shown that when families are involved in their child's education, it improves academic achievement (Barger et al., 2019). Beyond academic achievement, family and community engagement is also associated with better behavior, increased attendance and graduation rates, social skills, and mental health (Hiatt-Michael, 2001). Educator preparation programs (EPPs) can play a vital role in shaping pre-service teachers' knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and values (Darling-Hammond & Baratz-Snowden, 2007). Moreover, researchers claim that teachers' beliefs are among the most important predictors of their classroom behaviors and practices (Buchanan et al, 1998; Vartuli, 1999). As such, pre-service …

Lessons Learned From Field Experiences Of Special Education Preservice Teachers During A Pandemic, Rhonda D. Miller, Meaghan S. Avery, Nicole Uphold, Jamia Thomas-Richmond
Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina
Field experiences provide opportunities for preservice teachers to apply instructional procedures and theories in authentic classroom settings (Leko & Brownell, 2011). The ever-changing landscape of public school classrooms makes teacher preparation a challenge. In this study, ten participants, special education preservice teachers (PSTs) in the semester before student teaching, recorded their experiences from their field experiences during a pandemic. We explored the types of activities that PSTs engaged in, the challenges that they faced, and lessons that were learned as a result of the experience. Results showed a reduced number of hours in the field, challenges with instructional practices and …

Highlighting Leadership Competencies On Principal Practices In A Rural School District, Shannon Goodacre, Jeremy Watts
Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina
The purpose of this research was to describe how high school principals in rural, high-performing high schools in Fee County Schools practice leadership to promote a positive school environment. The emphases on high-performing schools and a rural school district are inclusive to why these leaders were chosen. Assuming the leaders who influence the learning environment in these schools could be considered experts, the researchers endeavored to understand what these experts notice about their leadership methods that positively affect the learning environment. The goal of the study was to determine what skills high school principals employ to promote a positive learning …

Dare We Imagine The Future Of Scate?, Benjamin Parker
Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina
As the newly elected President of the South Carolina Association of Teacher Educators, I have troubled myself with the task of communicating my vision for the future of our organization. It is with great honor and respect for those who have forged the path to our present state that I ask that we collectively endeavor to imagine how a united and energized group of educational experts can positively affect change by embracing a mantra of, “what if?”. In service of that goal, I humbly ask you for two things; an open-mind toward the usefulness of futurism as an orienting approach …

Pre-Service Teachers’ Academic Success: Paying Attention To The Importance Of Basic Literacy Skills For Future Teachers, Nan Li, Jada Williams
Pre-Service Teachers’ Academic Success: Paying Attention To The Importance Of Basic Literacy Skills For Future Teachers, Nan Li, Jada Williams
Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina
The A-Nation-at-Risk report in 1983 shocked the nation. This report was an open letter to the American public. "America as a nation is at risk and that our once unchallenged preeminence in commerce, industry, science, and technological innovation is being overtaken by competitors throughout the world" (Park, 2022, p. 9). An important reason was that American students lagged behind the P-12 students of other nations in the third international literacy competition. The U.S students were ranked lower than 40 other nations.

Teacher Retention: Supporting New Teachers, Kathy Sobolewski, Amanda Butler, Jennifer Zakrzewski
Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina
Our nation is undergoing a severe shortage of teachers. According to Think Impact, K-12 classroom teachers are the most burned out in comparison to every other profession, with about 40% of teachers leaving the education field in the first five years (Craft, 2024). Starrett et al. (2023) identified school factors such as dissatisfaction with the school administration, work-life balance, and school discipline problems as reasons for teachers to choose a second career. The researchers also found that class size and limited autonomy are strongly associated with emotional exhaustion, thus contributing to teachers exiting the field...

The Teachers Are Gritty, Austin M. Hitt, Suzanne Horn
Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina
In this study, researchers explored whether the GRIT survey (Duckworth, 2016), predicted whether teacher education students would be successful in their program of study and student teaching. The GRIT survey was used to judge if West Point students would succeed in graduating from their program. Through quantitative analysis, the researchers found in this study that teacher education students who were in their final year of education were gritty. Students with high grit accomplished their goal of graduating and receiving a license to teach. The students with high grit were also successful on the instrument (state rubric) that measured their teaching …
Does Story Time Matter?, Stacy Burr, Emma Wells Davis
Does Story Time Matter?, Stacy Burr, Emma Wells Davis
Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina
Four decades ago, author Harry Allard captivated young readers through his classic book, Miss Nelson is Missing! Miss Nelson was a young teacher whose students took advantage of her calm demeanor and nice nature, which in turn, summoned her inverse, Ms. Viola Swamp, the meanest substitute teacher in the world. Just as the adored Miss Nelson mysteriously vanished, another essential component of classrooms has slowly diminished. This missing piece, reading aloud to students, is a vitally important element of literacy instruction, paving the path to academic success...

The Power Of Mentorship: Lessons From A Scate Cooperating Teacher Of The Year, Rebecca Raab
The Power Of Mentorship: Lessons From A Scate Cooperating Teacher Of The Year, Rebecca Raab
Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina
Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) is vital for students with complex communication needs, but its success in classrooms requires collaboration between AAC users, educators, and speech-language pathologists (SLPs). This review examines existing literature on AAC integration through SLP-educator collaboration, addressing barriers and strategies for effective implementation. An extensive literature search identified 16 studies on AAC and SLP-educator collaboration highlighting barriers, facilitators, and strategies to improve the partnerships, enhancing AAC use in classrooms. Successful AAC integration requires robust collaboration, and future research should focus on targeted interprofessional training and evaluating the impact of improved collaboration on AAC outcomes in classrooms.

Boosting Aac Use: A Scoping Review Of Collaborating With Educators For Classroom Success, Alexis Lawton
Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina
Specific studies on South Carolina teachers showed that reasons for declining teacher retention and recruitment include concerns about low salary, school-level issues, and working conditions (Devers, Duyar, & Buchanan, 2024; South Carolina Teacher Retention Study, 2020; South Carolina Teacher, 2023). Even though teacher health has a significant impact on teacher retention (Casely-Hayford, et al., 2022), it is not present in discussions of teacher working conditions (Merrill, 2021). Instead, teacher health (both physical and mental) is often embedded in discussions of teacher burnout (Madigan, Kim, Glandorf, & Kavanagh, 2023) and teacher stress generally (Lazarus & Folkman, 1987; Kyriacou, 2001; Prilleltensky et …

Literacies Practices In The Disciplines, Emily Skinner
Literacies Practices In The Disciplines, Emily Skinner
Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina
Building on Conley's (2014) work, I conducted an inquiry with disciplinary specialists across the college campus to learn about disciplinary literacies and to create a corpus of resources to use in my teaching. I interviewed disciplinary faculty in math, English, science, and history. I then edited 30-60 minute interviews down to 12-15 minute videos focused on what I determined would be most helpful to preparing middle grades and secondary teachers. Students viewed and then connected teaching strategies they had learned about in the course to the literacy practices of the disciplines. Their final project was a narrated digital presentation video …

Instructional Design Applications Within The In-Person Classroom Teachers, Tyler Watts, Richard Smith, April White Pugh
Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina
In the wake of COVID-19 and the additional expectations for teachers to navigate the complexities of teaching using technology-enhanced approaches, the researchers at a small, private university in South Carolina found an increase in teacher enrollment within their graduate-level program focused on instructional design and e-Learning. The first cohort, comprised largely of corporate trainers, higher education professionals, and State employees, was soon joined by a second cohort in 2020 in which K-12 teachers made up 50% of the enrollment total. In inquiring with both trainers in a corporate environment and K-12 teachers, the rationale for joining the program was due …

Work-Life Balance (Wlb): Findings From Educators, Tena B. Crews, Tiffany M. Bordonada, Kelly Wilkinson
Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina
Educators responded to a Work-Life Balance (WLB) survey which included the categories of workplace, wellness, self, and family. Survey results were analyzed using factor analysis and Spearman's Rho correlation coefficient. Females were more committed to work responsibilities, stressed about their workplace, and better at setting priorities. Males experienced more stress related disorders. A positive correlation resulted between wellness and workplace balance. Findings also indicated that administrators' behaviors appear to have a positive impact on educators' abilities to balance work responsibilities and personal lives.

A Call For Reorienting Joy In Educative Spaces, Benjamin Parker, Kathryn E. Parker
A Call For Reorienting Joy In Educative Spaces, Benjamin Parker, Kathryn E. Parker
Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina
In this manuscript, the authors examine the field of education's extended preoccupation with dreadful narratives. A qualitative analysis of educational research proposals is used to illustrate the limited representation of joy in scholarly research around educational spaces. Consideration is given to the roles that educational research and teacher preparation play in perpetuating deficit narratives and possible ways to reframe both the conversations we have around education as well as the field itself. Using Positive Psychology as an exemplar model, this manuscript calls for teacher educators to thoughtfully use joy as a construct in the preparation of future educators.

Deconstructing Culturally Responsive Teaching/Learning: Preservice 20 Teachers' Perspectives, Winston Vaughan
Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina
This article examines the positive impact of an exercise in which a group of pre-service teachers enrolled in a cultural diversity course at a Midwestern University deconstructed the contents of a video to better understand how culturally responsive teaching can significantly impact the teaching learning process especially with marginalized student populations. Preservice teachers were required to watch a video on culturally responsive teaching and engage in a "free write" based on the contents of the video. After that, students were asked to respond to two prompts based on content from the video. Data analysis from their "free writes," prompts responses, …
The Influence Of Flexible Seating On College Students' Comfort And Engagement Levels, Robin Franklin, Jacquelynn Pleis
The Influence Of Flexible Seating On College Students' Comfort And Engagement Levels, Robin Franklin, Jacquelynn Pleis
Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina
Considering upgrades and changes in seating and physical design within the college classroom is often challenging in higher education. When designing a dedicated learning space at the university level, collaboration areas with flexible seating options should be considered a priority (Hare & Dillon, 2016). According to Burgeson (2017), providing flexible seating options K-12 within a student-centered approach to teaching and learning increases student engagement when given the choice of seating options. The researchers wondered if that would be true for college-level students and designed an action research study to understand this phenomenon. Student choice and voice were critical elements of …

Building Individual Relationships With Students In Today's Classrooms, Kelley Mayer White, Katie Swart
Building Individual Relationships With Students In Today's Classrooms, Kelley Mayer White, Katie Swart
Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina
Research has documented associations between high quality teacher-child relationships and children's social skills, self-regulation, and school readiness (Baker et al., 2008; Nguyen et al., 2020; Spilt et al., 2018). High-quality relationships are often defined as those in which the teacher and child experience a sense of closeness. Closeness is characterized by positive interactions, open communication, and warm feelings between teachers and children (Mashburn & Pianta, 2006). In contrast, children in teacher-child relationships regarded as high in conflict often perform poorer academically, are less engaged in learning, and report liking school less (Baker, 2006; Furrer & Skinner, 2003; Hamre & Pianta, …
It's A Team Effort: Building Teacher Resilience In Pre-Service Teachers, Lindsay M. Simmons, Kimberly Mccuiston
It's A Team Effort: Building Teacher Resilience In Pre-Service Teachers, Lindsay M. Simmons, Kimberly Mccuiston
Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina
The authors address the role institutions of higher education play in building teacher resilience among pre-service teachers. Within teacher preparation programs, there are opportunities for pre-service teachers to learn skills and strategies that build teacher resiliency. Embedding opportunities in coursework and field experiences, the institution of higher education can scaffold the skills and strategies that promote self-advocacy, leading to teacher resiliency. Additionally, the authors discuss how ongoing professional development and effective mentoring can contribute to teacher retention.
