Research in a Nutshell, Fall 2022

A Message from the Editorial Team

In this issue, we feature the work of three recent graduates: Susan Overvelde (former RiaN Officer!) shares about rhythmic movement in early childhood education, Roshaniben comments on rigorous instruction, and Jenny Ge explores how teachers' assessment identity can grow throughout a BEd program. We hope you enjoy learning about their research!

Sincerely,
Paisley Worthington, Roxolana Marmash, Uvini Colonne Appuhamilage and Ikeoluwapo Baruwa
