Executive Summary Ulrich BoserClarification: We wanted to clarify that all of the results cited in the report come from an analysis of the entire sample (which includes teachers and support staff), whether we use "educators" or "teachers" to reference the sample. Out of the 203 respondents, the sample includes three respondents who work in university-level education.
We have explored sub-group patterns, including only looking at the subset of respondents who report teaching in K-12. But response patterns don't differ significantly.Scientists know a lot about effective learning and teaching. Several lines of evidence suggest that teachers might have difficulty identifying some evidenced based practices and teaching strategies.

When we look beneath the surface, however, we often find that frequent outbursts are a symptom of bigger issues, especially for children who have experienced trauma. Usually, it’s a response to unmet needs or coping mechanisms children have developed to protect themselves. Kids living in chaos, neglect, or abuse are often stressed to the max.
And if there’s one thing that’s certain, it’s that stressed brains have difficulty learning . The good news is that teachers can have a positive impact by choosing our responses when disruptions happen. Here’s a video to give some ideas. [embedyt] Instead of saying, “This kid is trouble.” Ask yourself, “What’s going on with this child?” Obviously, this isn’t something most teachers would say out loud, but it may be part of an inner dialogue that needs to be challenged.

EJ1179956 - Teaching Strategies to Develop a Family-School Literacy Partnership, International Journal of Whole Schooling, 2018. This article explores a first-grade team's efforts to develop a family-school literacy partnership.
The first-grade teachers wrote and developed the "Family at Home Literacy Questionnaire" to understand how their first graders selected texts and read with family members at home. The findings identified a number of unexpected at-home literacy practices. Of particular interest, the teachers' reading homework may have "mis"informed the families' at-home literacy practices. Families were not clear on texts intended for children's independent reading versus texts appropriate to read aloud. Accordingly, the authors recommend that teachers enhance their knowledge base of families' at-home practices and the personal tools and resources that drive them. Whole Schooling Consortium.

21st century learners arrive at school with technological knowledge and skills that necessitate the need for educational systems to transform instructional practices to meet learners' needs.
The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) developed ISTE Standards for students, teachers, administrators, coaches, and computer science educators that define best practices and standards of excellence with technology. Literacy educators are greatly impacted by the technological shift in education and require a deep level of proficiency with the ISTE Standards for Teachers. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the ISTE Standards for Teachers and provide literacy educators with an evaluative tool to measure their adeptness with the knowledge and skills needed to teach in the digital age. New York State Reading Association. EJ1243232 - New Approaches to Literacy Problems: Multiliteracies and Inclusive Pedagogies, Australian Journal of Teacher Education, 2019-Nov.
This paper is based on a qualitative study examining multiliteracies (New London Group, 1996, 2000) and inclusivity.
Underpinned by a socio-cultural approach, the study examined ways to facilitate meaningful literacy learning for students experiencing challenges in print-based, classroom activities. Key to this research was an analysis of how scaffolding was used to bridge home and school communities. This paper focuses on one of the study's students, Hannah, who exhibited extensive engagement with multiliteracies at home--driven through the Arts (e.g. graphic design, singing and music). - Meeting the Literacy Needs of Students in Juvenile Justice Facilities, Second Edition.
