Early childhood teacher candidates benefit when presented with opportunities to engage meaningfully with their clinically-based school community. Informal learning events that are hosted after school hours but within school settings... more
In this paper, we develop a mathematical model describing the dynamics of HIV transmission by incorporating sexual orientation of individuals. Equilibrium points and the basic reproduction number are derived. The basic reproduction number... more
Recent conversations within the field of speech-language pathology (SLP) have uncovered an urgent need for intentionally and strategically developing practices that are equitable and inclusive to support our students and professionals who... more

Speech-language therapists (SLTs) in South Africa are increasingly considering alternative models of service delivery to children at risk for language and literacy development delays. A transprofessional model of collaboration allows SLTs... more
In this paper, the results of a study of teachers' dispositions and classroom practices regarding literacy integration into STEM courses are presented. The Connection Core Concepts (CCI) program, developed through Mathematics and Science... more
Purpose: The purpose of this qualitative study was to document the experience of using a computer-based simulated (Simucase, 2019) learning opportunity in a Master of Science in speech-language pathology program. Method: Focus groups were... more
This metasynthesis focused on STEM teaching and learning practices in middle and high school classrooms and in informal settings. Research artifacts between 2005 and 2012 were examined. Fifty-eight unique artifacts were classified into... more

Due to increased student numbers and workforce limitations, speech pathology students have fewer opportunities to develop skills in working with adult populations in traditional clinical placements. Using simulation-based learning has... more
In this study, we develop a mathematical model to explore the impact of awareness and lack thereof on the spread of meningitis within human populations, framed within a complex network context. The model’s equilibrium solutions are used... more
As an introductory course, Logic Design is geared towards familiarizing students with concepts, design, and practical use of digital circuits and systems. Part of the course requirement is for students to form teams and work together to... more
would like to acknowledge the ongoing support from the department. We would like to acknowledge the work of past SoTL Lab students who help to define, develop, and hone the principles of this collaborative endeavor.
This paper aims to focus on the international studies regarding early integrated STEM education and its importance for developing 21st-century skills in young children to prepare them for an ever-changing world. The paper reviews the... more
The aim of this article is to provide a model, an example, and suggestions for establishing and fostering meaningful partnerships to construct authentic and relevant STEAM learning experiences for preservice teachers. In order to prepare... more
This study includes instructional strategies and conceptual ideas within the learning arena, primary age children, specifically those in Key Stage 1. The following operational definitions define specific terms within the context and scope... more
Role playing with peers has long been used in professional preparation programs to teach and practice skills. We propose the use of standardized patients (SPs) in lieu of peers to role play these encounters in a safe and effective way.... more
We investigate the dynamics of three-gene regulatory networks with one feedback circuit using the Boolean and continuous models put forth by Gehrmann and Drossel [4]. We establish the existence of Hopf bifurcations in the continuous... more
The authors would like to acknowledge Andrea Ruelling and Karin Werther for their contributions to this project. The Alberta Aphasia Camp is made possibly through a partnership between March of Dimes Canada and the Faculty of... more
In this article, the authors describe an effort to recruit undergraduate STEM majors to secondary STEM teaching through engaging them in an early field experience by which the majors serve as peer advisors as part of a summer program for... more
The control of spread of HIV to reduce its effects on a population is an important role of public health. HIV testing and counselling (HTC) and eventual enrolment of infected individuals on anti retro-viral treatment (ART) as soon as... more

Public libraries offer a variety of STEM learning opportunities for children and youth to allow them to experience emerging technologies in a hands-on, play-based manner. Opportunities like these are important for all children as research... more
The increasing interest in early and elementary STEM education comes with a need to increase training and support for teachers of children in the early grades. Early and elementary pre-service teacher preparation in science, math, and... more
Speech Pathology programs usually send students to workplaces to learn clinical skills necessary for practice. During COVID-19, programs needed to respond quickly to ensure that students continued to gain the necessary experiences and... more
Education in the early years is an excellent space for promoting integrated learning. The STEAM education model combines Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics holistically and has gained force globally, mostly in... more
Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations. A longitudinal study evaluated the effects of interprofessional education (IPE) experiences on 71 rehabilitation science graduate... more
