Gotwals, Amelia Wenk; Wright, Tanya S.; Domke, Lisa; Anderson, Blythe – Elementary School Journal, 2022
In this systematic literature review, we synthesize 48 research studies about science talk in elementary classrooms to inform the development of supports for teachers. Our findings suggest that characteristics of high-quality elementary science talk include that it (1) supports equitable student participation and engagement, (2) supports deepening…

Hamm, Jill V.; Lambert, Kerrylin; Little, Todd D.; Farmer, Thomas W.; Harris, Mallory V. – Elementary School Journal, 2021
This study examines the ties of sixth-grade teachers to their interdisciplinary team colleagues and explores the dimensions of their efficacy beliefs for their own and their colleagues' teaching. Teachers (n = 238; 83% female, 88% White) from 26 middle schools completed surveys about the relational aspects of ties to team colleagues, the…

Anagnostopoulos, Dorothea; Cavanna, Jillian; Charles-Harris, Sian – Elementary School Journal, 2020
Beginning teachers (BTs) are increasingly expected to teach ambitiously from day one. However, they continue to face classroom management challenges. This study presents case studies of two elementary BTs that explore (1) the relationship between BTs' management and instructional practices in mathematics and English language arts and (2) its…

Hirsch, Shanna E.; Lloyd, John Wills; Kennedy, Michael J. – Elementary School Journal, 2019
Employing universal classroom management practices (e.g., opportunities to respond, praise, precorrect) can reduce disruptive behavior and improve academic engagement for students with and without disabilities; however, novice educators often possess minimal knowledge of universal classroom management practices. This study examined the effect of a…

Bustamante, Andres S.; Hindman, Annemarie H.; Champagne, Carly R.; Wasik, Barbara A. – Elementary School Journal, 2018
Circle time is a near universally used preschool activity; however, little research has explored its nature, content, and quality. This study examined activity types, teacher and child talk, child engagement, and classroom quality in a sample of public preschool classrooms in an urban, high-poverty school district. Results demonstrated that…

Lane, John L.; Sweeny, Shannon P. – Elementary School Journal, 2018
This article examines the challenges that 18 elementary school early career teachers (ECTs) faced and the colleagues they used to help them meet these challenges. We report several interesting findings. First, these ECTs faced challenges that extended beyond how best to teach particular content. ECTs also struggled with managing student behavior,…

Wills, Howard; Kamps, Debra; Caldarella, Paul; Wehby, Joseph; Romine, Rebecca Swinburne – Elementary School Journal, 2018
The purpose of the study was to conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to demonstrate efficacy of the Class-wide Function-Related Intervention Teams (CW-FIT) program. The study was designed to replicate an initial RCT conducted by the CW-FIT developers in 1 site, with 2 additional research groups not involved in its development. The study was…

Hiebert, James; Berk, Dawn; Miller, Emily – Elementary School Journal, 2017
The purpose of this longitudinal study was to investigate the relationships between mathematics teacher preparation and graduates' analyses of classroom teaching. Fifty-three graduates from an elementary teacher preparation program completed 4 video-based, analysis-of-teaching tasks in the semester before graduation and then in each of the 3…

Crespo, Sandra – Elementary School Journal, 2016
As videos of teaching become increasingly available and used as tools for analyzing classroom practice, it is important for researchers and practitioners to reflect on the nature and purposes of video representations of teaching. Too often classroom videos are made and viewed in ways that narrow interpretations about the nature and quality of…

Cappella, Elise; O'Connor, Erin E.; McCormick, Meghan P.; Turbeville, Ashley R.; Collins, Ashleigh J.; McClowry, Sandee G. – Elementary School Journal, 2015
We investigate the classwide efficacy of INSIGHTS, a universal social-emotional learning intervention for early elementary grades, on observed teacher practices and student behaviors. Twenty-two elementary schools (87% free/reduced lunch) were randomly assigned to INSIGHTS or an attention-control condition. Kindergarten and first-grade classrooms…

Smart, Julie B.; Igo, L. Brent – Elementary School Journal, 2010
In this grounded theory study, 19 teachers were interviewed and then, in constant comparative fashion, the interview data were analyzed. The theoretical model that emerged from the data describes novice teachers' tendencies to select and implement differing strategies related to the severity of student behavior. When confronting mild student…
