This paper addresses the research gap on initial and ongoing preparation of instructional coaches by examining the use of video analysis as a tool to foster instructional coach reflection within online professional learning communities (PLCs). Using qualitative case study methodology, key findings demonstrate the relationship between video type (stock, peer, and own) and the purpose of video-based feedback provided by instructional coaches in relation to fostering professional reflection. Implications for practice address the importance of scaffolding video analysis activities over time in order to elicit critical reflection into practice and strengthen professional learning outcomes.

Feedback is essential in education, yet often studied within isolated educational sectors. This study investigates feedback practices across K-12 and higher education by surveying 254 educators to explore perceptions of effective feedback, student barriers, and methods for tracking feedback impact. Our findings reveal that higher education educators prioritise cognitive and structural feedback elements, emphasising actionable suggestions and timely delivery. In contrast, K-12 educators focus on social-affective aspects, such as feedback tone, to support a nurturing learning environment. Despite these sector-specific preferences, discrepancies exist between educators' beliefs and practices, highlighting a need for enhanced feedback literacy.

Countries are increasingly adopting policies that segregate students by language proficiency, facing criticism for potentially reinforcing inequalities. This article provides a systematic review of 24 empirical studies published between 2014 and 2023, focusing on educators' experiences in segregated language learning settings (SLLS). The findings show that many teachers strive to support students' multilingualism and use their agency to counteract the adverse effects of SLLS. However, educators often hold monolingual ideologies, which leads them to overlook the benefits of utilizing students' full linguistic abilities. The findings underscore the urgent need to promote critical language awareness in educational policy and practice.

There is a continued need to center justice-oriented teacher preparation in content domains and also in preparing PTs to build inclusive, responsive, and transformative classroom communities. While preparation programs increasingly take justice-oriented stances in content instruction, often preparation with classroom management does not match this perspective. This case-study explores how one group of PTs explored and enacted pedagogies of love in place of status quo classroom management. Findings demonstrate how PTs theorized critical love as a way of being for building restorative classrooms. Findings highlight possibilities for PTs to engage in critical approaches to community building and advocate for justice.

This paper utilizes the framework of neoliberal multiculturalism–a racialized political project that amplifies diversity and inclusion, while maintaining values of meritocracy and white supremacy that individualize and racialize educational inequity–to describe the complexities inherent in three Mexican-American male-identifying teachers’ experiences and developing philosophies. Findings demonstrate the importance of the positive male role model in the early educational experiences of participants, figures inspiring their decisions to teach. However, neoliberal multicultural constructs—such as the positive role model-as-corrective representation—present in institutional dynamics and colleague microaggressions (re)oriented how participants understood themselves and their work.

This study shares results of a survey of special education teachers (SET; n = 818) exploring retention and resilience in one northeastern state in the United States. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed unique factors of Retention (SET Empowerment, Continuum of Professional Learning, School-based Working Conditions) and Resilience (Growth Mindset for SET, SET Self-Regulation, and External Interactions and Collaborations). Further results examine associations between resilience and retention and alignment to a theoretical framework that explains dynamic interplay between internal and external enabling or constraining factors influencing retention and resilience. Implications for research, policy, teacher preparation, induction/mentoring, and professional learning are shared.

This study analyzed the direct and indirect effects of teacher collaboration on the clarity of instruction through teacher self-efficacy in instruction and tested whether this relationship varied by organizational commitment to schools. We utilized a moderated mediation analysis using cross-sectional survey data from the U.S. TALIS 2018. We found that teacher collaboration has both direct and indirect effects on the clarity of instruction and that this positive relationship is stronger when teachers have a higher level of organizational commitment. This study provides theoretical and practical implications for school leaders, educators, and researchers to enhance teaching practices through collaboration.

To address the lack of cross-national research on teacher outcomes of professional learning communities (PLCs), this study investigates the relationships between PLCs and teacher outcomes using data from the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) 2018. With a sample of 127,339 teachers from 40 countries, we explore how PLCs relate to job satisfaction, self-efficacy, and clarity of instruction. Results show a robust positive relationship with job satisfaction, while relationships with self-efficacy and clarity of instruction are weaker and vary by context. Our findings suggest that PLC effectiveness vary across educational and cultural contexts, calling for further research.

Teacher education is influenced by the pervasive influence of neoliberalism. In this paper, we focused on a group of teacher educators, to examine if their participation in a community of practice influenced their realities and professional learning. Through a two-year period thirty-five online meetings were organised. The community of practice provided a collegial and supportive space, fostering professional learning through critical reflection, enabling teacher educators navigate feelings of fear and guilt. It could also be interpreted as an awakening from the unconscious silence prevailing in a neoliberal university to acknowledge its implications for teacher educators’ identity, pedagogy, and wellbeing.

This article uses affective citizenship education as an enrichment of critical citizenship education. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with twenty-four teachers from secondary schools in Flanders, this study investigates in what ways spatial, relational, and affective dimensions are present in teachers’ interpretations of citizenship and explores how affective citizenship education is understood and enacted as perceived by teachers themselves. The findings show that their understandings of citizenship differed, often because teachers adapt to the student population they serve. Moreover, teachers encountered challenges involving many emotional practices. We argue that our results could serve as a basis for a reflective understanding of the affective tensions often present when enacting citizenship in education.
