Teaching is multifaceted work that must foster safety, structure, comfort, and connection for K-12 students (Noddings,1984; Shotsberger & Freytag, 2020; Tomlinson, 2019).

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Historically, biases, a lack of cultural diversity in teacher and administrative staff and misunderstanding about methods for teaching low socioeconomic students have related to the underperformance of African-American students when compared with their European American peers.

Online Theses and Dissertations

Is There Hope For Teacher Burnout?, Ami Houston
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The nation’s educational system is faced with an ongoing issue as teachers are choosing to leave the profession in staggering numbers.

While several factors are at fault for this phenomenon, one of the most pressing contributors to teacher attrition is teacher burnout, as teachers are exposed to exhaustion, cynicism, and decreasing self-efficacy. The purpose of this study was to examine relationships between the dimensions …

Adult Education Research Conference
Loss of one’s home, conditions of shelter life, and abuse that often precipitate homelessness result in diminished self-efficacy and hope. Adult education programs for homeless women often follow a remedial rather than a developmental model. This mixed method study investigated a unique program in garden-based learning for homeless women to better understand how this type of adult education program contributed to the women’s hope and self-efficacy.
