@article{jaeger_deal_lubera_2025, title={Statewide Professional Learning for Student and Faculty Success}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/cc.70022}, DOI={10.1002/cc.70022}, abstractNote={ABSTRACT This study examines the development and impact of the Teaching and Learning Hubs initiated by a research center and its partners in response to Dr. Karen Stout's (CEO Achieving the Dream) 2018 Lecture at a university. Aimed at enhancing teaching and learning excellence across North Carolina's 58 community colleges, the Hubs provide a collaborative framework for faculty professional learning centered on evidence‐based practices. Established in 2021, the East, West, Central, and Piedmont Hubs have engaged more than 2149 faculty members through various professional learning sessions, directly impacting over 167,281 students. Utilizing a mixed‐methods approach, we analyzed quantitative data from the first 3 years of Hub operations (Fall 2021–Spring 2024), which predicts a significant, positive relationship between enrollment in courses taught by Hub‐trained faculty and persistence. The research highlights the significance of scalable, sustainable professional learning activities that support both full‐ and part‐time faculty. Survey insights were gathered from peer learning leader meetings and presentations at state and national conferences, showcasing best practices and collaborative efforts to disseminate innovative teaching strategies. The findings illustrate the transformative potential of the Hubs in fostering a culture of teaching excellence, with implications for broader educational reform in community colleges. This study underscores the importance of a statewide network support that is locally contextualized to enhance faculty development and student success, contributing valuable insights for other educational institutions seeking to implement similar initiatives.}, journal={New Directions for Community Colleges}, author={Jaeger, Audrey J. and Deal, Sarah A. and Lubera, Amber}, year={2025}, month={Oct} }

Iron instantiates a rare stress pattern that has been controversially identified in previous literature. Attested onset sensitive systems are commonly sensitive to onset presence or quality (Hyde 2007; Gordon 2005; Topintzi 2010). However, stress in Iron is categorically sensitive to onset complexity, but not onset presence. Syllables with simplex onsets or null onsets are light. Those with complex onsets are heavy. Such a pattern has only been claimed for a few languages, often controversially (Topintzi 2010, 2022). This pattern provides a challenge for current OT frameworks designed to analyze onset sensitive stress. This paper first establishes evidence for the weight of the aforementioned syllable types and then provides an OT analysis for this onset sensitive pattern.}, number={2}, journal={Phonological Data and Analysis}, publisher={Linguistic Society of America}, author={Lubera, Amber}, year={2024}, month={Mar}, pages={1–40} }
