Teachers are in a profession with high demands as they work to meet the diverse learning needs of their students. Consequently, many teachers experience levels stress contributing burnout, and unfortunately, leave profession. Teacher mental health may contribute resilience

The emerging discipline of educational neuroscience stands at a crossroads between those who see great promise in integrating and education the disciplinary divide as insurmountable. However, such tension is least partly due to hitherto predominance philosophy theory over establishment concrete mechanisms agents change. If move forward emerge distinct its own right, traditional boundaries methods must be bridged, an infrastructure place that allows for collaborative productive exchange. In...

There are longstanding calls for inclusive education all regardless of student need or teacher capacity to meet those needs. Unfortunately, there little empirical data support full inclusion students and even less information on the role data-based decision making in specifically, though is extensive research effectiveness making. In this article, we reviewed what its education, current state evidence related how can be used decisions with reading disabilities intellectual transitioning...

Innovative practice in a classroom adds challenges and tensions to programs institutional structures higher education. With the recent emphasis on curricula reform, there is great focus assessment pedagogical practices support student learning. To illustrate arising from these efforts, we present four innovation approaches using both Shulman’s (2005) Signature Pedagogies Tatar’s (2007) Design Tensions frameworks. The include problem-based learning, game-based case-based technology-enhanced A...

Children with specific learning disabilities (SLD) have deficits in the basic psychological processes that interfere and academic achievement, for some SLD subtypes, these can also lead to emotional and/or behavior problems. This study examined psychosocial functioning 123 students, aged 6 11, who underwent comprehensive evaluations problems two Pacific Northwest school districts. Using concordance-discordance model (C-DM) processing strengths weaknesses identification criteria, results...

Understanding personal factors that contribute to university student satisfaction with life is important in order determine how we can better prepare students for the transition post-secondary education and support them during this transition. This study examined predictors of life, academic self-efficacy, self-reported achievement their first year university. First-year (n = 66) completed selfreport measures achievement, well-being, personality, mental health. A linear regression analysis...

Psychoeducational assessment involves collecting, organizing, and interpreting a large amount of data from various sources. Drawing upon psychological medical literature, we review two main approaches to clinical reasoning (deductive inductive) how they synergistically guide diagnostic decision-making. In addition, discuss the use both mental shortcuts (i.e., heuristics) cognitive biases, which collectively refer as thinking errors, can lead errors in judgment when analyzing data....

Clinical reasoning is a foundational component of conducting evidence-based psychological assessments. In spite its importance, limited attention has been paid to the teaching or measurement clinical skills relative assessment, as well how develops efficacy can be measured. Improving throughout assessment process, from initial case conceptualization hypotheses testing, recommendation writing, potential address commonly noted concerns regarding diagnostic accuracy, accessibility and utility...

Despite the breadth and depth of educational neuroscience research teachers’ interest in neuroscience, teachers often have limited access to reputable sources. As a result, neuromyths–misapplied or over-simplified claims related brain science–have proliferated. School Psychologists training education, applied evidence-based practices. such, school psychologists are poised mitigate negative impact teacher neuromyth endorsement. This study examined endorsement rate neuromyths by identify...

There has been an increased focus on the importance of educational cognitive neuroscience for teachers, yet research outcomes teacher training in this area are minimal. We created and implemented Educational Neuroscience professional development (PD) delivered throughout 2020–2021 school year. This study was co-designed between researchers district partners. Participants were personnel from a high Western Canada consisting approximately 1,400 students 75 teachers. All participants PD,...

Understanding how social support and anxiety influence academic engagement in boys girls is important to ensure that we effectively promote engagement. This study examined the relationship between gender, support, anxiety, elementary junior high school students. Students Grades 5 9 ( N = 1,904) completed self-reports measuring engagement, perceived from family, friends, staff. Results indicated were more likely perceive score higher on scale than were. Grade level was a significant predictor...

Focusing on behavioral criteria for attention–deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnosis leads to considerable neuropsychological profile heterogeneity among diagnosed children, as well variable response methylphenidate (MPH) treatment. Documenting "cold" executive working memory (EWM) or "hot" self–regulation (SR) impairments could aid in the differential of ADHD subtypes and may help determine optimal MPH treatment dose. In this study, children with inattentive type (n = 19), combined...

Abstract Background Tourette syndrome and OCD are disorders that frequently occur in children cause a high level of disability. In Alberta there is huge delivery gap providing healthcare services for with TS OCD. A stakeholder consultation was performed to ascertain how service could be improved across the province inform development provincial information support organization, Network. Methods mixed-methods study employed: 10 parents were recruited interview 140 responded survey. Results...

Introduction Tourette’s syndrome (TS) affects approximately 1% of children. This study will determine the efficacy and safety paired comprehensive behavioural intervention for tics (CBIT) plus repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) treatment in children with syndrome. We hypothesise that CBIT active rTMS to supplementary motor area (SMA) (1) decrease tic severity, (2) be associated changes indicative enhanced neuroplasticity (eg, vivo metabolite concentrations TMS...

Objectives: Preliminary research in youth with chronic pain suggests differences attention and working memory, which has been similarly demonstrated adults pain. There little on other aspects of executive functioning (EF) this population despite its critical role problem solving, school functioning, coping. This study aimed to examine several EF between a nonchronic comparison group using performance-based neuropsychological tests behavior rating scale. Materials Methods: Participants...

Postsecondary transition plans and services include domains such as independent living, postsecondary employment, education have positive lifelong benefits for students with intellectual disabilities (ID). School psychologists much to contribute the process, but previous studies indicated they often limited involvement in this domain. A survey was conducted assess school psychologists' current knowledge, attitudes, behaviors regarding ID. Respondents included 282 practicing from United...

Abstract Objective: Motor tests, including Finger-Tapping Test, Grooved Pegboard and Grip Strength are frequently used by neuropsychologists when assessing pediatric populations. Many of the norms available for these measures outdated, have not been co-normed, samples with limited diversity. This study aims to provide updated, co-norms three commonly motor tasks a diverse population. Method: Participants ( n = 476; age range 6–14) were recruited from community settings complete each tests....
