Addressing loneliness in emerging adults in primary care
The results suggest that it may be feasible to treat loneliness in emerging adults in primary care with adapted interventions like CBT and SP. Further research with larger sample sizes and pragmatic, randomized controlled trial designs are needed to test the effectiveness of these interventions in primary care settings
From Mediated Fieldwork to Co-Constructed Partnerships
An essential component of teacher preparation is clinical practice that allows teacher candidates (TCs) to observe, reflect upon, test their ideas, and adjust and improve their methods in classrooms. Weaknesses in the structure and organization between coursework and clinical practice in teacher preparation programs often present barriers from fully achieving these goals. University-school partnerships have the potential to overcome these challen…
Shaping the vision for service‐learning in language education
Language education has mobilized community‐based service‐learning's (CBSL) experiential paradigm in the United States and in international settings over the past 20 years, with the goal of enhancing the linguistic and communicative competence of language learners and advancing the intercultural competence that is necessary for global citizens to engage with a diverse world. This integration of language learning with local and online community pro…

Student Perceptions of Salient Indicators of Integration of Faith and Learning (IFL)
This article presents findings from a qualitative study of 120 undergraduate students from seven schools in the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities. Using in-depth individual and focus group interviews, we explored participants' perceptions of salient indicators of integration of faith and learning (IFL) in the classroom. Findings highlight two main categories of indicators: 1) faculty relationships with God and with students, and 2) …
Opportunities for Adult Esol Learners to Revision and Envision Their Social Identities
0 Adult ESOL learners face many challenges, as do teachers who aim to meet their students' needs. Crucial for learners is finding opportunities to enter new speech communities and engage in extended conversations in English. Instructors often find it difficult to offer their learners these opportunities because doing so requires that they move outside the comfort zone of traditional teacher-centered instruction. To respond to these challenges, we…
Toward a Conception of Culturally Responsive Classroom Management
Given the increasing diversity of our classrooms, a lack of multicultural competence can exacerbate the difficulties that novice teachers have with classroom management. Definitions and expectations of appropriate behavior are culturally influenced, and conflicts are likely to occur when teachers and students come from different cultural backgrounds. The purpose of this article is to stimulate discussion of culturally responsive classroom managem…
Linguistic Diversity and Classroom Management
In spite of the growing linguistic diversity in U.S. classrooms, many teachers are not being adequately prepared to work with English language learners (ELLs). One area of particular concern for teachers is how to manage today's linguistically diverse classrooms. This article suggests ways educators can reflect on English language learners' needs and consider the implications for classroom management. The author focuses on the need to (a) underst…
Culturally Responsive Classroom Management
This article expands discussions of culturally responsive pedagogy by focusing specifically on the tasks and challenges of classroom organization and management. First, we examine three prerequisite understandings that underlie teachers' ability to manage diverse classrooms in culturally competent ways. We then consider specific approaches and strategies for enacting culturally responsive classroom management (CRCM) and reflect on the ways that m…
