The Story Circle As A Practice Of Democratic, Critical Inquiry, Natalie M. Fletcher, Maughn Rollins Gregory, Peter Shea, Ariel Sykes
Department of Educational Foundations Scholarship and Creative Works
The authors of this essay have been committed practitioners and teachers of Philosophy for Children in a variety of educational settings, from pre-schools through university doctoral programs and in adult community and religious education programs. The promotion of critical thinking has always been a primary goal of this movement. But communal practices of critical thinking need to include other kinds of democratic conversation that prompt us to see others as full-fledged persons and to be curious about how our being in community with them makes growth and self-correction possible. As we continue to experiment and innovate in new contexts we …

Sensemaking For Equity And Agency : Stem Teacher Learning Through A Community Of Practice Model, Karen Anne Woodruff
Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects
The current vision for science education is to improve learning for all students by enacting teaching practices that make rigorous science content accessible to diverse learners. Science education, as a field, is shifting focus to be practice-based and equity-centered as students and their ideas become the focal point of the profession. The enactment of this vision calls for professional learning opportunities for teachers that support sensemaking and enactment of reform-based practices. This design-based study is an exploration of how ten science teachers negotiate issues of equity and professional agency in their teaching of the science and engineering practices through identified …

How Padlet Encouraged Student Collaboration And Engagement In My Virtual Classroom, Annie Yon
How Padlet Encouraged Student Collaboration And Engagement In My Virtual Classroom, Annie Yon
New Jersey English Journal
With the growth of virtual classes, it is crucial for teachers to integrate strategies and resources that foster student engagement and build a sense of community in an online environment. One way to augment synchronous and asynchronous communication is to implement an online discussion board, which can provide rich opportunities for students to share insights, ask clarifying questions, collaborate, create multimodal projects, and have their voices heard. By incorporating an interactive discussion board, such as Padlet, as part of class resources, teachers can facilitate discourse among students that transcends the physical boundaries of the classroom, create a motivational environment, improve …

Refuge For Teachers (And Learners) In A Turbulent Public Education Landscape, Amanda Stearns-Pfeiffer, Kristin A.K. Sovis
Refuge For Teachers (And Learners) In A Turbulent Public Education Landscape, Amanda Stearns-Pfeiffer, Kristin A.K. Sovis
New Jersey English Journal
This piece provides context for the K-12 teacher recruitment and sustainability crisis we face in the United States. The harmful effects of this crisis situate the authors’ assertion that the ELA classroom is the space in which both teachers and students can find solace and inspiration during turbulent times in public education. The authors propose three overarching categories of classroom practices, along with specific strategies per category that can be implemented in sustaining the teacher and learner: 1) routines for the beginning of class, 2) routines for reading and writing, and 3) routines for the end of class.

Pandemic Paranoia And Proximity: A Transformation, Joseph S. Pizzo

School Dreams: The Runaway Class, Jeffrey Pflaum
School Dreams: The Runaway Class, Jeffrey Pflaum
New Jersey English Journal
"School Dreams: The Runaway Class" describes the fears of teachers, from elementary/middle to high school, especially the loss of control of their students. In this dream piece, a class breaks away from "the cage" and escapes to the "wild blue yonder" for peace as the teacher sits "frozen" and "bewildered," eventually making the leap as well to search for the students--and himself.

Teachers are inundated with messaging about the “failure” of the education system in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. But problems with the education system are not novel, and dismissal of the accomplishments of teachers in the midst of those obstacles also predates COVID-19.

Developing A Practical Application Of The Isometric Squat And Surface Electromyography, David Phillips, Angelic Rose Del Vecchio, Kevin Carroll, Evan L. Matthews
Developing A Practical Application Of The Isometric Squat And Surface Electromyography, David Phillips, Angelic Rose Del Vecchio, Kevin Carroll, Evan L. Matthews
Department of Exercise Science and Physical Education Scholarship and Creative Works
Electromyography (EMG) is a research tool used in gait analysis, muscle coordination evaluation, clinical evaluation and sports techniques. Electromyography can provide an insight into neural adaptations, cross education effects, bilateral contraction deficiencies, and antagonist activity in exercise-related movements. While there are clear benefits to using EMG in exercise-related professions, accessibility, cost, and difficulty interpreting the data limit its use in strength and clinical settings. We propose a practical EMG assessment using the isometric squat to identify compensatory activation patterns and report early observations. Ten healthy participants were recruited. Participants performed a 2-min isometric handgrip protocol and an isometric squat protocol. …
Queering Feminist Facilitation : A Culture Circle Discusses Gender & Sexuality, Kelly E. Lormand
Queering Feminist Facilitation : A Culture Circle Discusses Gender & Sexuality, Kelly E. Lormand
Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects
This study examines the collaboration of fifteen high school educators who came together to dialogue addressing patriarchy, sexism, homophobia, and heteronormativity in our practices, curriculum, classrooms, and school. Additionally, this practitioner action research study examines my attempt to queer and disrupt feminist facilitation. The study was situated in a competitive and economically privileged school district in the Northeast with district-wide goal dedicated to cultural diversity and anti-biased language. Using Paulo Freire’s (1970/2004) model of culture circles and Souto-Manning’s (2010) critical cycle, the group transformed a traditional professional learning community (PLC) into a feminist, queer, and activist community. The group engaged …

Professional Capital Across The Careers Of Four Veteran Teachers, Stephanie Brown Tarnowski
Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects
This qualitative study investigated veteran teachers’ professional experiences over 3 decades of their teaching careers. Drawing from professional capital theory (Hargreaves & Fullan, 2012), I present 4 veteran elementary public-school teachers’ experiences and development of their professional capital over nearly 3 decades of their careers. I examined 3 dimensions of the professional lives of teachers: (1) the ways in which they developed their teaching expertise; (2) the kinds of decision-making possibilities they experienced; and (3) the kinds of interactions and relationships that were fostered in their professional communities. The research question that shaped my study was: In what ways do …

New Teacher Induction : Locating New Teacher Needs To Co-Construct Induction Programs, Thomas M. D’Elia
Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects
This study focused on the transition period from pre-service to teaching known as new teacher induction. Using new teacher voices within third space qualitative interviews to better understand how new teachers made sense of their induction period within a school district, the findings from this study suggest that new teachers are not only faced with immediate and longterm needs that they must fulfill, but also new teachers must make sense of their school environments and the micropolitical atmospheres they must work in. Using the voices of new teachers and teacher coaches within a school district, this study examined how districts …
