Challenges Of Pedagogical Supervision In Côte D'Ivoire: When Three Supervisors Serve More Than 400 Teachers, Kouawo Patrice Touato

International Programs

In Côte d'Ivoire, three pedagogical supervisors support more than 400 English language teachers in one regional education directorate. Nationwide, only 85 pedagogical supervisors serve thousands of English language teachers. Limited human and financial resources make regular classroom observation and individualized teacher support challenging.

Classroom observation can contribute to teacher professional development when it is implemented as a constructive process and supported by adequate institutional capacity thereby helping to implement the Competency-Based Approach (CBA) (Nguyen, 2021; UNESCO, 2017)

What Makes Implicit Bias Training Effective? An Examination Of Training Program Interventions And K-12 Educator Experiences, Kyleigh K. Mcaloon

McNair Summer Research Program

Differences in disciplinary referrals based on race have led many to argue that bias may influence disciplinary decisions. Implicit bias (IB) training is designed to address such disparities by raising awareness of biases that may impact assessment of behavior and disciplinary decisions. In recent years, many have questioned the validity of IB as a construct and also the potential impact of training. Some scholars argue that these programs fail to produce meaningful behavioral change and may unintentionally reinforce or increase bias. The aim of the present study was to investigate how individuals receive and respond to such training. Sixteen K-12 …

Belonging & Whole Person Formation In Graduate Education: A Conceptual Framework For Student Flourishing, Cynthia L. Hickman

Posters

Graduate students experience substantial academic, personal, and professional demands that can negatively affect well-being and persistence. For students enrolled in professional programs, belonging may develop within two overlapping communities: the academic institution and the emerging profession. Institutional and professional belonging can provide connection, support, engagement, and opportunities for identity and professional development. This paper synthesizes literature on these two forms of belonging and proposes a conceptual framework describing their potential relationship with whole-person formation and flourishing. Whole-person formation extends graduate education beyond knowledge acquisition and professional competence to include development across interconnected dimensions of the person. Within the proposed framework, …

Doctor of Nursing Practice Final Project Abstract

Purpose

This quality improvement (QI) project aimed to improve self-reported job satisfaction among outpatient pulmonary clinic staff through structured educational focus group sessions using iterative Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles.
