Using a framework for responsive teaching as the theoretical foundation, this study examines ways teacher educators mediate teachers' transfer of responsive teaching. Guided by Bransford & Schwartz (1999) in defining transfer as preparation for future learning, our research explored teachers' transfer of learning as the teachers developed self-extending systems (Clay, 1991, 2001) as responsive literacy specialists. The intensive teaching of one student and the accompanying instructional tools used in the Literacy Lab fostered the development of responsive teaching in a variety of ways. Primary data sources included videotaped lessons, community conversations, and reflective essays. Analysis of the data revealed three elements that mediated transfer: intentionality, enactment, and articulation. Since transfer of responsive teaching does not happen automatically for all teachers, this study discusses the centrality of intentionally creating a range of spaces to enact and articulate transfer.

AI is a branch of computer science that emphasises the development of intelligent machines that think and work like humans. Examples of AI applications are speech recognition, natural language processing, image recognition etc. The term ML represents the application of AI to enable systems’ ability to learn and improve based on experience, without the explicit need for programming, using various problem-solving algorithms. For example, in machine learning, computers learn based on the data they process, not program instructions

In this exploratory research project, our team’s goal was to design and begin validation of a measurement approach that could provide indication of a student’s ability to transfer their mathematics understanding to future, more advanced mathematical topics. Assessing transfer of learning in mathematics and other topics is an enduring challenge. We sought to invent and validate an approach to transfer that would be relevant to improving Cignition’s product, would leverage Cignition’s use of online 1:1 tutoring, and would pioneer an approach that would contribute more broadly to assessment research.

Teacher education programs are tasked with a myriad of responsibilities to help improve the quality of future teachers. Despite the constraints of using non-licensed teachers in a public classroom setting in order for the pre-service teacher to gain experience, a Teaching Assistant (TA) program has been implemented in a university setting and thus removing the logistical obstacles pre-service teachers face. Using a preparation for future learning model, pre-service teachers enrolled in a human learning and development course engaged in activities that ranged from mentoring students, developing grading rubrics, and grading student assignments. Triangulation of qualitative data showcases the importance of assessment (i.e., feedback) and the pre-service teacher's identity as emergent themes. Discussion of possible design iterations to the TA program and its potential impact are discussed.

Physiology is a core requirement in the undergraduate biomedical engineering curriculum. In one or two introductory physiology courses, engineering students must learn physiology sufficiently to support learning in their subsequent engineering courses and careers. As preparation for future learning, physiology instruction centered on concepts may help engineering students to further develop their physiology and biomedical engineering knowledge. Following the Backward Design instructional model, a series of seven concept-based lessons was developed for undergraduate engineering students. These online lessons were created as prerequisite physiology training to prepare students to engage in a collaborative engineering challenge activity. This work is presented as an example of how to convert standard, organ system-based physiology content into concept-based content lessons.
