This research poster explores the experiences of women balancing motherhood and leadership in education. Using qualitative research and visual methods like photovoice, we examine their challenges, resilience, and advocacy. This session highlights systemic barriers, unpaid labor, and how they navigate dual roles with purpose and care.

 

 

This study explored how preservice teachers (PSTs) learned to notice for equity in anti-deficit ways, in regard to content, students, interactions, and participation in classrooms. Initially holding deficit-based views, PSTs developed practices for noticing and teaching for more inclusive classroom environments.  Findings highlight the importance of exposure to equitable teaching practices, opportunities for deliberate practice, and systematic reflection.

 

 

There is a growing body of research on the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) across the lifespan, but the influence of early adversity on outcomes in higher education remains less explored; there is a need for increased awareness and further investigation.  This study examines the effects of ACEs on academic performance, mental health, and retention.  The session aims to spark broader conversation on the importance of trauma-informed practices, campus resources, and collaborative strategies for creating connected, caring student environments.  

 

Explore how virtual case studies can enhance interdisciplinary collaboration by bringing together students from various healthcare fields to develop teamwork, communication, and clinical decision-making skills.  This scalable online approach prepares students for real-world professional interactions, making it a valuable tool integrating multiple disciplines. 

 

This poster presents findings from an interview study on the experiences of international PreK–3rd grade teachers working outside their home cultures. Interviews with ten educators revealed four key themes: cultural awareness, career advancement, use of student data, and professional relationship navigation, offering insights into how they adapt and thrive in diverse settings.

 

 

With support from the Missouri Humanities Council, Missouri State University librarians partnered with the Johnson Library & Museum to digitize over 20,000 catalog cards for worldwide online access. This historic collection, rooted in the private library of Thomas Moore Johnson, features diverse materials spanning books, periodicals, framed documents, and more on countless humanities topics.

 

Faculty rely on library content for both instruction and research, with the discovery process being nearly as important as the content itself. This study identifies key faculty behaviors that present opportunities for library personnel to enhance engagement, improve discovery experiences, and address information barriers.  

 

 

This project equipped nursing faculty with essential Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) training, ensuring they can better support students and integrate TIC principles into their teaching.
