Educational Experiences and Teacher Faith Integration Self-Efficacy in PreK–12 Mennonite Schools in North America
Educators at religious preK–12 schools attempt to integrate their faith into their teaching. Yet there is limited empirical study about how faith integration self-efficacy may develop. This study examines the relationships between the faith integration self-efficacy of educators at Mennonite preK–12 schools and their past educational experiences and initial teacher education. Regression analysis of survey responses indicates that the quality of i…
Complex Citizenship: Examining the Civic Engagement of Iraqi and Eritrean Youth in Predominantly Latinx Settings
Culturally and linguistically relevant citizenship education (CLRCE) seeks to address and challenge the limitations of traditional, normative notions of citizenship for Latinx, newcomer, K-12 youth. This paper uses a comparative case study approach to examine the questions: To what extent does the CLRCE framework apply to multi-ethnic and multilingual contexts? In what ways do multilingual Eritrean, Iraqi, and Latinx youth engage with social stud…
Antecedents of faith integration self-efficacy in PreK-12 Mennonite schools in North America
Private Christian schools in North America endeavour to provide an educational experience that integrates religious and academic training for their preK-12 students. The integration of faith and academics has been studied in higher education institutions in North America, but not substantially in preK-12 schools. This study uses the lens of teacher self-efficacy to examine Christian school teachers’ confidence to integrate faith into their instru…
He wants to get rid of all the Muslims”: Mexican American and Muslim students’ use of history regarding candidate Trump
This study employs a multiple case study approach to examine the use of history of Mexican American and Muslim middle school students vis-à-vis Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. The findings suggest the participants used historical examples of discrimination to contextualize candidate Trump’s rhetoric and to bolster their identities as both immigrants and Americans. Their cases provide important evidence of the ways in which marginalized…
Comparing Auditory-Only and Audiovisual Word Learning for Children With Hearing Loss
Although reducing visual input to emphasize auditory cues is a common practice in pediatric auditory (re)habilitation, the extant literature offers minimal empirical evidence for whether unisensory auditory-only (AO) or multisensory audiovisual (AV) input is more beneficial to children with hearing loss for developing spoken language skills. Using an adapted alternating treatments single case research design, we evaluated the effectiveness and ef…

Because even us, Arabs, now speak English”: Syrian refugee teachers’ investment in English as a foreign language
The students do not know why they are here’: Education decision-making for Syrian refugees
This case study, conducted collaboratively between education scholars and education practitioners, describes and analyses the ways in which Syrian refugee teachers and an NGO are developing and implementing non-formal education (NFE) programming in three refugee settlements in Lebanon. Utilising the INEE Minimum Standards for Education in Emergencies, we analyse teachers’ and programme administrators’ decision-making processes regarding curriculu…

Fast-mapping in young children with autism spectrum disorders
A longitudinal correlational design was used to examine whether fast-mapping mediates the relationship between attention-following and vocabulary size in a group of 29 young children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders. Attention-following was measured at the initial visit. Fast-mapping as well as comprehension and production of noun vocabulary were measured six months later. Attention-following had a significant predictive association with …
Enhancing Communication and Language Development in Young Children With Developmental Delays and Disorders
In this article, we present an overview of past and present research on early communication and language intervention at the John F. Kennedy Center for Research on Human Development. First, we present three basic premises that inform most research on early communication and language intervention at the Kennedy Center. Second, we present brief summaries of seven lines of contemporary research by Kennedy Center investigators that have and continue …

The social correlates of co-ordinated attention to adult and objects in mother-infant interaction
Co-ordinated attention to objects and adults is positively associated with later language development in children with and without disabilities. This relationship may occur because of social correlates of co-ordinated attention, which may in turn facilitate language development. This study investigated two potential social correlates of co-ordinated attention. Both of them have been suggested to have a role in facilitating later language developm…
Alternative explanations for the relationship between maternal verbal interaction style and child language development
The present study analysed formerly unexamined indirect routes for relationships between time 1 maternal speech and later child language development. Ten normally developing children in Brown's early stage 1 and their mothers were the subjects. For each dyad, two free-play sessions occurring five months apart were videotaped in the subjects' homes. Mothers' pragmatic language use was coded from time 1 sessions. Child language level was coded at b…
