Through a reflection of personal philosophy, a literature review focused on best practices for teaching language arts, including the use of scaffolds and differentiation, and through the collection of and interpretation of instructional data, a study was conducted about the expansion of empathy skills in the language arts classroom. Questions of how to include curricula that promotes student identities, values cultural capital, and promotes relationship-building were analyzed, with an emphasis on reading that promotes empathy. Key findings from data collected and studied found that discourse was an underrepresented tool for literary reflection and that creativity fosters student engagement, which increases connection with classroom content. 6/8/2022 Master of Arts in Teaching (initial licensure) Melanie Landon-Hays and Amy Bowden, Scott Graves action_research

The data collected for this research is specific to elementary education in a K-12 setting. In the field of interpreting there are professional organizations that present professional guidelines that must be considered in order to uphold best employment practices. Different employers may also have their own code of ethics and guidelines they expect employees to follow. In addition, each interpreter should have their own personal ethics that they carry with them as well. The goal of this research is to consider how these professional, organizational, and personal ethics and guidelines that are expected of interpreters impact decision-making while working. 6/10/2022 Master of Arts in Interpreting Studies Elisa Maroney, Amanda Smith action_research
