This looks at the school-to-prison pipeline through the perspective of classroom management coursework in two teacher education programs (a traditional undergraduate teacher preparation program and a post-bacc teacher preparation program) at one regional university.

Our futurist perspective here imagines a world where parents can gaze into their child/children's classroom at the touch of a button. Our paper asks what learning spaces would look like if home can observe school at the touch of a button? What opportunities and constraints would be realized or continue to exist?

Little is known about the role of intermediary organizations (IOs) in knowledge mobilization for education policymaking. By consequence, community, family, student, and educator voices are at risk of further marginalization. This study uses document analysis and bibliometrics to explore the knowledge base circulated by federally-funded IOs to influence powerholders at the state level. Findings indicate a high degree of overlap between the research promoted by federally-funded IOs and the research cited within state education agencies' equitable access plans. Federally-funded IOs elevated research evidence that valued policy ideas related to human capital management and neglected others, such as the working conditions for teaching and learning. This research has implications for knowledge utilization in educational policymaking, particularly in the context of state and federal power. The ways in which federally-funded IOs advance policy ideas that are in line with federal policy priorities reinforces the importance of examining whose knowledge is shared and how this knowledge filters into state policy ideas.
