There is very little extant research on in-service teachers' motivation to remain in the field of teaching. The purpose of this survey study was to test how well Richardson and Watt's (2014) model of influences of initial teaching motivations and teaching behaviors fit for in-service teachers. Seven school districts from a mid-western state were…

van Ingen, Sarah; Davis, Jeni; Arndt, Katie – Research in the Schools, 2018
In the context of elementary education that, we argue that the use of integrated science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) lessons is synergistic with engagement in culturally responsive teaching (CRT). Instead of conceptualizing STEM and CRT as distinct approaches to teaching, we argue that they can be understood as intertwined and…

Holtz, Jill; McCurdy, Merilee; Roehling, Julia V. – Research in the Schools, 2015
Within a Response to Intervention (RtI) framework, Tier 1 instruction requires the selection of research-based core curricula. However, many educators and administrators are not aware of high-quality core writing curricula. The authors assembled a rubric to assist schools in evaluating core writing curricula for Grades 3-5. Rubric components…
