... Since the earliest adoptions of the edTPA, the portfolio has received a great deal of attention from the educational community. Researchers have examined various aspects of the edTPA portfolio, including (a) the validity, reliability, and consistency of scoring (Austin & Berg, 2021;Behizadeh & Neely, 2018;Dover & Schultz, 2016;Gitomer et al., 2019;Goldhaber et al., 2017;Hash, 2020;Madeloni, 2015;Parkes & Powell, 2015Paugh et al., 2018;Sato, 2014), (b) impact on teacher candidates and other stakeholders (e.g., clinical teachers, university supervisor, educator preparation programs, etc.; Behizadeh & Neely, 2018;Behney, 2016;Cronenbert et al., 2016;Greenblatt & O-Hara, 2015;Hebert, 2018;Kissau et al., 2017;Ledwell & Oyler, 2016;Paugh et al., 2018;Tuck & Gorlewski, 2015), and (c) its influence on issues of divesity (Kolman et al., 2017;Petchauer & Mawhinney, 2017;Russell & Devall, 2016;Williams et al., 2019). Some researchers have questioned the utilization of edTPA scores as a standardized assessment of preservice teaching, and more specifically, have cautioned against the use of these scores for "high stakes" purposes (Gitomer et al., 2019;Gitomer et al., 2021;Greenblatt & O'Hara, 2015;Russell & Devall, 2016). ...

... Virtually every step in the common teacher certification process risks disproportionately excluding prospective teachers of color, providing the greatest gatekeepers for Black and Hispanic teachers (Barnum, 2017). Research continues to show that teachers' scores on licensure exams have no bearing on their ability to raise student achievement and/or overall teacher quality (Chaplin et al., 2017;Kolman et al., 2017;Petchauer, 2018). Rather, teacher racial diversity is consistently found to matter in terms of student achievement, particularly for students of color (Tintiangco-Cubales et al., 2015;Jackson & Knight-Manuel, 2019;Sleeter, 2011;Sleeter, 2015). ...

... As schools and families made sense out of the rapid shift to alternate learning environments, researchers and practitioners sought to understand which instructional supports and teacher actions facilitated children's learning and development, and which types of supports exacerbated existing disparities in access, learning, and teacher-child connections (Richmond et al., 2020). Relationships are the foundation of high-quality teacher-child interactions. ...

... Despite a long history of substantial changes and improvements to the delivery and communication processes, COVID-19 has ushered in a new era of distance education, leading numerous educational stakeholders to take the concept seriously (Hosen, 2022;Richmond et al., 2020;Al Karim et al., 2022). The unexpected move from schools to homeschooling on a massive scale left children, educators, and parents vulnerable, resulting in millions of education-From Crisis to Opportunity: A Google Trends Analysis of Global Interest in Distance Education Tools related internet searches during the pandemic (Andrews, Richmond, & Marciano, 2021). ...

... Technological changes and the permeability of the boundaries between sound, music and other forms of communication make it difficult to use and analyze the semiotics of the aural (van Leeuwen, 1999). As we are constantly surrounded by sounds, it is essential to know the aural contexts that surround pupils, as well as the codes that are used in them and how they influence the meaning-making processes that take place in childhood (Petchauer, 2020). ...

... A fourth theme that occurs in many of the articles is inter-generational conversations between teachers and students (see also Rawls and Petchauer 2024). Many teachers come from a particular era of hip hop, often around the so-called 'golden age' (late 1980s/early 1990s) in the US context, and a moment when US-based hip hop reached unprecedented international attention in the 1990s. ...

... As such, teacher education programs are pivotal in providing opportunities for preservice teachers to develop a sense of agency and acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to implement inclusive practices effectively for students with diverse needs (Forlin, 2009). Emphasizing the cultivation of resilience within these programs, particularly in areas where teachers may confront challenges (e.g., limited resources, stressful settings), further enhances teachers' capacity to navigate external pressures successfully (Bartell et al., 2019;Castro et al., 2010). In response to the multifaceted nature of the challenges faced when attempting inclusivity and the specific difficulties encountered by teacher candidates, the cultivation of agency and resilience becomes imperative for teachers (DeSimone & Parmar, 2006;Hackett et al., 2016;Sherfinski et al., 2019). ...

... For example, Unda (2023) highlights the Mexican-American War (1846)(1847)(1848), where large numbers of Mexican Americans and Indigenous peoples were forced out of the States. Additionally, Brown v. Board of Education (1954) played a role in the displacement of African American teachers (Carter Andrews et al., 2019;Fultz, 2004;Huckaby et al., 2023;Hudson & Holmes, 1994) and Latinx teachers (López, 2021). Students of color suffered greatly from this decision as the chances of being taught by a Black and/or Latinx teacher were extensively decreased due to the adverse probability that the teachers were either fired, displaced, or dismissed (Fultz, 2004). ...

... Based on the literature (Abdallah & Musah, 2021;Goldhaber & Hansen, 2010) our hypothesis is that preservice teachers' genders and prior teaching experience are associated with how they perceive the test. However, given Ghanaian teachers' Journal of Educational Management, 13(1), 1-12 Akyeampong et al. 3 resistance to the tests when they were introduced, we assume that the teachers' programme of study would not influence their perspectives (Petchauer, 2018). ...

... Despite its mission and comprehensive standards, CAEP does not yet describe standard practice for providers (Cibulka, 2014;Heafner et al., 2014). They do, however, require rigorous self-study reports and site visits to illustrate EPPs' abilities to graduate certified teachers (Heafner et al., 2014;Petchauer & Mawhinney, 2017). These procedures have become standard practice as accountability is now a more integral part of candidate preparation than ever before (Seyfried & Pohlenz, 2018). ...
