Advancing teachers’ linguistic knowledge through a large-scale professional learning and development initiative
This study investigated the enhancement of teachers’ linguistic knowledge, skills, pedagogy, and self-rated ability within a large-scale implementation of early literacy instruction in New Zealand. Data were collected from pre- and post-learning surveys from 592 educators enrolled in online professional learning and development (PLD). Linguistic knowledge scores across phonics, phonological awareness, and morphology increased from 56–70% correct …
Evaluating the large-scale implementation of structured literacy teaching in New Zealand
Purpose The Better Start Literacy Approach (BSLA) is an evidence-based classroom literacy approach for students aged 5-to 7-years-old being implemented at scale across New Zealand through professional development for teachers. This research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the BSLA at scale and to determine the predictors of reading and spelling success within BSLA students. Method Data came from assessment measures collected as part of the…
Large scale implementation of effective early literacy instruction
Introduction Large-scale implementation of Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) to enhance children's early literacy success is critically important to address global literacy challenges. This paper describes one such initiative, the Better Start Literacy Approach (BSLA), which was specifically designed for large-scale implementation in New Zealand. Methods Between February 2020 and May 2023 over 3,000 teachers in 819 schools across New Zealand…
Smartphones at School
As smartphone ownership and use by children and youth has increased over the past decade, so has the presence of phones within the classroom. This has created unique challenges for teachers, school leaders, and policymakers. In this research study, we used a cross-sectional survey design to examine educator (n = 217) and student (n = 332) perspectives on students’ mobile phone use in New Zealand schools through a mixed-methods approach. The resul…
Facilitators of Success for Teacher Professional Development in Literacy Teaching Using a Micro-Credential Model of Delivery
Teachers play a critical role in supporting the early literacy development of students; however, keeping up with evidence-based practice while performing a busy teaching role can be challenging. Micro-credentials are one potential route for keeping teachers up to date with the best practices for literacy teaching due to their ability to provide targeted and flexible professional development opportunities. The current study used a mixed-methods de…
A Bioarchaeological Exploration of Adolescent Males at the Eighteenth-Century Fortress of Louisbourg, Nova Scotia, Canada
Using skeletal remains from the eighteenth-century Fortress of Louisbourg, this study aimed to explore whether the adolescent ( 25 years) male experiences were synonymous in this New France colony. Additionally, this study also considered the geographic origins of these adolescent males to better understand their lived experience at Louisbourg. For this study, skeletal remains from 13 adolescent male individuals (16–25 years) were compared to 24 …
Cymbeline and the Politics/Poetics of Mobility
In Act 3 scene 6 of Cymbeline , Innogen, the play’s heroine, searches for the Welsh port town of Milford Haven, where she plans to reunite with her banished husband, Posthumus. ‘Milford’, she apostrophizes, ‘[w]hen from the mountain-top Pisanio showed thee, / Thou wast in a ken [sight].’ 2 In her frustration that she still has not found the port, despite having seen it from elevated ground, she laments that ‘[f]oundations fly the wretched’. 3 In …

Self-Concept and Depression Among Children Who Experienced the Death of a Family Member
The present study investigates the moderating effects of physical and academic self-concept on depression among children who experienced the death of a family member. Data from Phase III of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Study of Early Child Care was used in the present study. Having a higher physical self-concept moderated the relationship between death of a family member and depression. However, an unexpected relat…
The United Nations Peacebuilding Commission
The United Nations Peacebuilding Commission, established in December 2005, was designed to strengthen efforts to consolidate peace in countries emerging from civil war. It has three broad aims: first, to bring coherence to the activities of peacebuilding actors around a shared strategy; second, to marshal resources and commitments in support of this strategic vision; and third, to enhance decision-making processes relevant to conflict-affected co…
Where the Wild Things Are
Nowadays, when we think of feature-length animation, our thoughts turn immediately to "Shrek" and Pixar (or less fondly, to "Robots" and "Madagascar"). The animated world, we've learned, is round - created in three dimensions by teams of computer wizards and enlivened by noisy, knowing references to American pop culture, past and present. It may seem somewhat paradoxical, then, that the world's greatest living animated-filmmaker - a designation t…
