Contrasting Opportunities to Learn Across Domains in Special Education Teacher Preparation
Background/Context: Special educators must be prepared to provide expert instruction and collaborate with a range of professionals to provide students with disabilities with equitable and inclusive educational opportunities. Teacher preparation is an important part of providing special education teacher candidates (SETCs) with robust opportunities to learn (OTL) both the instructional and collaborate aspects of their role. Purpose/Research Questi…
Disparities in Teachers’ Access to Schools’ Collective Social Assets Based on Role, Race, and Poverty
A schools’ collective social assets (i.e., school culture, administrative support, and satisfied colleagues) are especially important for beginning teachers at higher risk of attrition, including special educators, teachers of color, teachers in high-poverty schools, and teachers in schools serving predominantly students of color. These teachers often report experiencing less social support than general educators, White teachers, teachers in low-…
Enhancing science performance of m iddle‐school students with and without developmental and b ehavioral‐based disabilities using the Content Acquisition Podcast Professional Development approach
Understanding science allows students with and without developmental and behavioral‐based (DB) disabilities to better appreciate the world around them as well as prepare them for the growing science‐related job market. However, students in the United States consistently underperform on science achievement tests compared to students from other nations. This underperformance could be attributed, in part to science having many specialized vocabulary…
Observation Studies in Special Education
Classroom observation research plays an important role in policy, practice, and scholarship for students with disabilities. When interpreting results of observation studies, it is important to consider the validity evidence provided by researchers and how that speaks to the intended use of those results. In this literature synthesis, we used Kane’s argument-based approach to validity to describe evidence of validity for uses of observation instru…
Instruction in secondary cotaught classrooms
Coteaching is a widely used service delivery model for students with disabilities who access the general curriculum. Instruction in cotaught classrooms is meant to be qualitatively different from instruction in solo‐taught classrooms; however, this is not always the case. In this article, we describe a framework for thinking about and planning instruction in cotaught classrooms that includes evidence‐based practices from special education and spe…
Sense-making for beginning special educators
Effects of a Multimedia Professional Development Package on Inclusive Science Teachers' Vocabulary Instruction
Vocabulary knowledge is vital for students' success in school and beyond. However, students with disabilities and others who consistently score below their peers on various measures of vocabulary knowledge have difficulties in secondary-level content area courses. Because many students with disabilities are now educated primarily in general education classrooms, their teachers report needing more professional development on instructional strategi…
Texting to Increase Adolescent Physical Activity
An intervention consisting of pedometers, theory-informed texts, and goal prompts, is a feasible and acceptable method for promoting physical activity to adolescents

The Effect of Different Response Formats on Ratings of Exerciser Stereotypes
In this study we examined the relationships of different response formats, respondent gender, and activity level, to ratings of exercise stereotypes. Participants ( N = 203) completed 8 question sets about 8 exerciser stereotypes. In each questionnaire, 1 question was inadvertently measured twice with different response options of definitely would not like to do this/definitely would like to do this (NL anchor) or definitely false/definitely true…
The influence of student-level normative, control and behavioral beliefs on staying smoke-free
This study, the first to examine the utility of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) in explaining intentions and behavior to remain smoke-free, generated smoke-free related beliefs in adolescents and examined their association to the TPB global constructs (i.e., attitudes, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control (PBC), intention, and behavior) 1 month later in a population of intermediate students (N = 214) in Prince Edward Island, Canada.…

A Comparative Analysis of ADL Questions in Surveys of Older People
This article describes questions designed to assess limitations with respect to activities of daily living (ADLs) that were asked on the first wave of the AHEAD study, and it assesses their cross-sectional measurement properties. It also provides comparisons between those questions and parallel questions that have been asked on two other surveys of the elderly population in the United States: the 1984 Supplement on Aging (SOA) to the National Hea…
