She currently serves as the department Chair and Director of Clinical Placement &amp; Certification, where she plays a vital role in preparing future educators for success in today\u2019s classrooms. Her research includes 3D Coaching and innovative strategies for equipping teachers to thrive in the modern educational landscape.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This research examined how high school coaches perceive the effects of 3D Coaching\u2014a holistic coaching framework emphasizing physical skill (body), psychological development (mind), and relational\/character growth (heart)\u2014on their own coaching practices and on their student-athletes\u2019 behaviors and performance after one year of training in the model. Using qualitative interviews with eight coaches who had completed 3D Coaching training, the study found that participants became deeply familiar with the 3D framework and reported noticeable changes in how they coached; notably, athletes were observed to learn skills more quickly, show greater determination in executing skills, and demonstrate improved behavior and relationship quality with coaches. The findings suggest that 3D Coaching may enhance coach-athlete relationships and athlete development beyond traditional coaching approaches.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Richardson, M (2024).

Using the four seasons approach to ethnography, I collected extensive data. The <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">analysis showed that changes in visions of diversity and social justice did take place in a fairly <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shorter time frame. Teacher candidates demonstrated cultural awareness, fluidity, and knowledge <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">of the self and others in a broader concept of the society after yearlong instruction and field <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">experiences. Correspondingly, I used these major concepts that emerged and offer suggestions <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for teacher educators on how to proactively prepare candidates to authenticate diversity and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">social justice within their classrooms in applied learning. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Adams, B.

Adrienne Johnson is a Professor in the Department of Education and an internationally recognized expert in supporting the academic and linguistic needs of multilingual students, from birth through adulthood. Dr. Johnson has degrees in linguistics, education, psychology, and Spanish and researches the factors that affect language acquisition and the academic success of multilingual learners. Dr. Johnson teaches graduate and undergraduate courses at 大象传媒 related to TESOL, language development, and general education.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>In a self-paced reading experiment which examines the processing of wh- dependencies, we examine whether native English speakers and Korean learners of English show qualitatively similar patterns and whether there is a relationship between working memory, as measured by counting span and reading span, and processing in both island and non-island contexts. The results of the self-paced reading experiment suggest that learners can use syntactic information on the same timecourse as native speakers, showing qualitative similarity between the two groups. Results of regression analyses did not reveal a significant relationship between working memory and the establishment of wh-dependencies in islands but we did observe significant relationships between working memory and the processing of licit wh-dependencies. As the contexts in which these relationships emerged differed for learners and native speakers, our results call for further research examining individual differences in dependency resolution in both populations.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Johnson, A., &amp; Thorne Wallington, E.

However, the approaches used to meet this growing teacher training need vary widely, with little available research on how different approaches impact student success. The current paper uses geospatial mapping to examine how states\u2019 EL teacher certification requirements are related to the academic success of English learners in those states. The results of this study suggest that state EL teacher certification requirements are related to student outcomes and that geographic location moderates those results. The geospatial mapping technique utilized in this study improves the accessibility of available data to the general population and policy makers.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"modal-footer\"><a

In 1992 she earned an MA in special education and in 1996 an EdS in educational administration, both from the University of 大象传媒. She earned her EdD in 1999 from Saint Louis University in the area of educational leadership.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Malone\u2019s scholarship encompasses the shortage of Black teachers serving special education students, dismantling the self-fulfilling prophecy encroached upon students of color, uncovering the disparities of the graduate records exam concerning Black scholars, best instructional practices in higher education, and tackling the achievement gap.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Malone is a member of the Council for Exceptional Children and Black Women in Higher Education (Kansas City Chapter).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She is a proud, lifetime member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., and is active in the Xi Tau Omega chapter in Grandview, 大象传媒. In addition, she serves on the board for Bridge Leadership Academy.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Jennifer J. Malone\u2019s scholarly work centers on equity-driven reform in teacher preparation, special education workforce sustainability, and the systemic barriers faced by Black scholars and educators in higher education. Her peer-reviewed research includes\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collaboration in Registered Teacher Apprenticeship: Strengthening Systems to Support a Sustainable Special Education Workforce<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0(2025), published in the\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Journal of Special Education Preparation<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which examines cross-sector partnerships among higher education institutions, school districts, and workforce agencies to address special education teacher shortages through registered apprenticeship models. In\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Tale of Two Educators<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0(2025), published in the\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Journal of Case Learning and Exceptional Learners<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Dr. Malone employs a case-based investigative approach to illuminate how identity, institutional structures, and access to support shape divergent educator experiences. Her article\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Three Times Is Not Always a Charm: The Graduate Records Exam Was Not Designed for the Black Scholar to Succeed<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0(2025), published in the\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Journal of Race and Pedagogy<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, critically interrogates the use of standardized testing as a gatekeeping mechanism in graduate education, arguing that the GRE perpetuates racial inequities and restricts access for Black scholars. Dr. Malone has also contributed to editorial leadership and scholarly publishing reform through her co-authored article,\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DEI Corner: Introducing the Diversity, Equity, &amp; Inclusion Committee: Our Purpose and What It Means for Manuscript Submissions &amp; Reviews<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0(2024), which outlines equity-centered practices in peer review and knowledge production. Her book chapters,\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It Begins in Higher Education<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0(2025) and\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: Dismantled<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0(2024), further extend this work by positioning higher education as a critical site for disrupting inequities in educator pipelines and challenging deficit narratives surrounding doctoral persistence and success, particularly for scholars of color. Collectively, Dr. Malone\u2019s scholarship advances asset-based, justice-oriented approaches to educator preparation, institutional accountability, and leadership development across P\u201312 and higher education systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Journal of Case Learning and Exceptional Learners<br

His courses are well-received by students, who describe his teaching as engaging and practical.\u00a0 He has also served as Department Chair and Assistant Dean, contributing to program leadership and development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before entering higher education, for more than two decades, he held key roles in public schools, including assistant superintendent for student learning (curriculum and instruction), elementary and secondary principal, and high school English teacher.\u00a0 This extensive background informs his commitment to bridging academics and practice for classroom and school improvement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Internationally, Dr. Shepherd has served as a U.S. Department of State Specialist, providing trauma-informed instruction training to educators in Russia, Serbia, and Ukraine. He has delivered popular keynote addresses and workshops to teachers and educational leaders in Colombia, Papua New Guinea, Honduras, Thailand, China, South Korea, and Singapore, focusing on teacher leadership, brain-friendly instruction, and relationship-centered pedagogy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An accomplished author, he wrote\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students of Trauma: A Handbook for Classroom Teaching in an Environment of Suffering<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0and regularly publishes peer-reviewed articles in respected journals.

In his 2024 JSSHE article, he demonstrates how an elementary social studies methods course can significantly improve pre-service teachers\u2019 attitudes toward the value, importance, and teachability of social studies through engaging, practical learning activities. Complementing this, his 2023 JALHE article highlights how school-based field placements immerse students in authentic classroom environments, reinforcing their understanding of coursework, increasing motivation, and inspiring commitment to becoming effective educators. Together, these studies reflect a strong focus on bridging theory and practice to prepare teachers who are knowledgeable, effective, and committed.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"

Liz received her Ph.D. in Education from Washington University in St. Louis in 2014.\u00a0 Her research considers education policy with a focus on school context and geospatial modeling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My research focuses on the policies around language and literacy learning&#8211; that is, what are the policies, what effects do they have, and how is that impacted by geospatial considerations.\u00a0 My recent research looks at the certification requirements for teachers and how that impacts student achievement across groups of students.\u00a0 My research shows that where the policy is enacted is correlated with the effects of the policy.\u00a0 My goal with this research is to identify what works where, and then to encourage stakeholders at all levels to focus on high impact requirements.\u00a0 Two of my recent publications address certification requirements for teachers of speakers of other languages (TESOL), which demonstrated\u00a0that requiring certain basic coursework is correlated with higher achievement by English Learners.\u00a0 This coursework has more impact in rural vs. urban areas, showing\u00a0that there are additional benefits in rural school districts.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thorne Wallington, E. &amp; Johnson, A.
