Teacher commitment to classroom model philosophy and burnout were explored in a sample of 53 teachers implementing three preschool models at high levels of fidelity for students with autism: Treatment and Education of Autistic and Related Communication Handicapped Children (TEACCH); Learning Experiences and Alternative Program for Preschoolers and Their Parents (LEAP); and high quality special education programs (HQSEP's). Relative to the other groups, LEAP teachers reported significantly higher levels of commitment to LEAP philosophy while TEACCH teachers did not report significantly higher commitment levels to TEACCH philosophy. Teachers in HQSEP's reported similar levels of commitment to TEACCH and LEAP. Burnout was also low to moderate in this sample relative to normative data. Implications for school districts and teachers are discussed.

Nurturing Sustainability in Toddlerhood: Investigating Preschool Teachers' Views and Daily Practices in a Swedish Preschool.
Children (Basel)
November 2024
Department of Education, Communication and Learning, University of Gothenburg, 405 30 Gothenburg, Sweden.
Background/objectives: While studies suggest that young children can learn and think about sustainability, most research has focused on children aged three to five, leaving a significant gap in understanding how to engage toddlers (one to three years of age) in early-childhood education in sustainability (ECEfS). This study aims to address this gap, a crucial and often overlooked area, by investigating preschool teachers' views of ECEfS and their daily practices for nurturing sustainability in a toddler group in a Swedish preschool.
Methods: We employed a case study approach, incorporating observations, interviews, and document analysis for data collection.

Center for the Advancement of Science Leadership and Culture, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Chevy Chase, MD.
The professional identity of scientists has historically been cultivated to value research over teaching, which can undermine initiatives that aim to reform science education. Course-Based Research Experiences (CRE) and the inclusive Research and Education Communities (iREC) are two successful and impactful reform efforts that integrate research and teaching. The aim of this study is to explicate the professional identity of instructors who implement a CRE within an established iREC and to explore how this identity contributes to the success of these programs.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to track the non-reimbursed time investment required for 6 providers from an independent spine surgery practice after a hospital system independently decided to transition to a new EHR system.
Results: Between the 6 providers of the practice, 266 hours of required classroom time, in-person training, and video and phone call teaching sessions had to be completed to become "proficient" so that clinical utilization of the system for in-patient care was certified by the hospital trainers and the EHR company.
