ABSTRACT
The Online Intergenerational Tutoring Program addresses a service delivery gap in schools because older adult volunteers expand schools' capacity to implement evidence-based instruction with students in need of individual support. Tutoring includes dialogic reading with digital books and Tutoring Buddy, a web-based program used to improve children's letter sound fluency. Developed during the school closures resulting from COVID-19, the program uses online technology to deliver individual instruction to students after school. Our preliminary research found online intergenerational tutoring is a promising, socially valid model for addressing students' learning loss resulting from the pandemic. © 2023 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
ABSTRACT
Teachers adapt science curriculum materials in planned and unplanned ways to address a variety of goals. This professional learning design seeks to support 18 elementary science teachers in biweekly professional learning (PL) sessions during COVID 19. They discuss and share their own adaptations for enhancing opportunities for productive disciplinary engagement and equity by collaboratively analyzing one another's teaching artifacts. Findings from transcribed interviews, PLs, and video of teaching are synthesized toward five adaptation principles. © ISLS.
ABSTRACT
Paper microfluidics has had a rich history in medical diagnostics owing to their portability, low-cost and capacity for mass manufacture. While nitrocellulose has widespread use in commercial paper-based assays, shortages can become a bottleneck for deployment. Here, we seek to overcome this limitation by enabling swift and efficient production of cellulose-based paper assays with minimal substrate processing via protein engineering. We demonstrate good clinical and lab-based performance for both serological and antigen rapid tests and their compatibility with roll-to-roll mass manufacturing, which validates our proposed workflow for commercialization. © 2021 MicroTAS 2021 - 25th International Conference on Miniaturized Systems for Chemistry and Life Sciences.
