We applied a mixed method approach to understand the experiences of educators engaged in virtual professional development, virtual mentoring and coaching, and an online learning community during a global pandemic in the Spring of 2020. Participants reported various ways Project MOOPIL impacted their experiences as educators. Teachers’ personal experiences in online learning through Project MOOPIL provided insight into the comparable experiences of students who were immersed in online education as well. Teachers reported a successful transfer of knowledge from this experience to their new distance learning domains that not only ca...

The study’s participants included 67 teachers from rural, urban, and suburban school districts across the state of Texas. They enrolled in a virtual professional development (VPD) module related to improving instruction in high needs schools. Data were collected from participants via an open-ended survey. To answer the study research question, we employed a qualitative phenomenological research approach. Findings indicated that teachers perceived ICs can perform two main types of practices that contribute to enhancing PLC meetings: (a) practices for creating a safe PLC learning environment and (b) practices in PLCs for enhancing teachers’ instructional capacities. Our findings add to the literature providing the first empirical study in which researchers investigated teachers’ percept...

I am Nathan (Nate) Templeton and I bring a wealth of experience in academia, most recently serving a long stint as editor of the International Journal of Educational Leadership Preparation (IJELP). I am excited to assume the helm of this prestigious journal, having been mentored through the years by Dr. Beverly Irby. As with Dr. Carol Mullen before her, my being named editor is an exciting step in the mentoring process between Dr. Irby and myself. We teach in the same system, serve within the same community of practice group, and fulfill academic responsibilities in a myriad of common ways. Even so, the greatest impact from Beverly has been the patient nurturing and mentoring over the past year, as she instilled in me the mission of this great journal to mentor both earlyand latecareer members of the academy to develop and grow personally and ...

Collectively, the findings of these international contributors present compelling evidence of the pedagogical approaches, tools and techniques for conceptualizing mentoring for continuous improvement in teaching and learning in diverse academic disciplines and settings. Generally, continuous improvement in education has been couched within emergent literature as individualized growth situated within professional learning experiences via various engagement modalities and with the ancillary purpose of transformative knowledge. Although necessary, individualized growth is different than continuous improvement and in discursive findings from the literature, growth mindsets are somewhat de-empowering for improving teaching and learning (Muijs & Har...
