Why Parents Choose: Patterns Of School Choice And The Role Of The Hartford Community School, Nathan Walsh
Why Parents Choose: Patterns Of School Choice And The Role Of The Hartford Community School, Nathan Walsh
Senior Theses and Projects
In 2006, Hartford Public Schools became an all-choice district effectively eliminating the concept of zoned neighborhood schools. Designed to make public schools hubs of community development and empowerment, the Hartford Community Schools were founded three years later. This study is intended to develop a basic understanding of school choice preferences among poor minority parents and address the contradiction of local, community-based schools operating within a larger all-choice market-driven district reform strategy. Drawing on data from six interviews with Hartford Community School parents and analysis of a pre-existing publically available data set collected by the National Household Education Survey this study …

Minority Status And School Choice: The Experiences Of Native-‐Born African American And West Indian Immigrants In Hartford, Nathan Walsh
Senior Theses and Projects
This qualitative study is designed to apply educational anthropologist John Ogbu’s cultural-‐ ecological theory of minority school performance to school choice by examining choice differences between two racially similar but ethnically different minority groups in the Hartford region. Parents in Harford, Connecticut, have several different public school choice options available to them, including intra-‐district choice, regional magnet schools, and a suburban district transfer program known as Open Choice. For all of these options, school choice is designed to improve opportunities for Hartford students. Drawing on data from five interviews with West Indian immigrant parents and three interviews with native-‐born African …
Career Academies And Conflicting Agendas: An Analysis Of Career And Technical Education In Hartford In The Context Of Broader School Policies, Mary K. Morr
Senior Theses and Projects
This thesis is an analysis of Career and Technical Education as a response to the low quality of public education in Hartford, Connecticut. Hartford Public Schools recently adopted the Career Academy model of CTE to restructure its failing high schools. This model is an improvement upon traditional forms of CTE, and graduation rates and test scores have increased since Hartford’s Academies opened in 2008. Still, whether Career Academies are an appropriate solution to the chronic underperformance of the city’s schools will depend upon their compatibility with the broader educational policies being implemented by the district and the State. The two …
Defendiendo Mi Identidad: Construyendo Las Identidades De Estudiantes Latinos De Trinity College, Karina Torres
Defendiendo Mi Identidad: Construyendo Las Identidades De Estudiantes Latinos De Trinity College, Karina Torres
Senior Theses and Projects
For many years, the United States has been known as the great “melting pot” with a mixture of people representing different races and ethnicities that have come together to form one nation and one American identity. The American educational system has attempted to facilitate the creation of one national identity through the process of assimilation and through its insistence that its citizens leave behind their other racial and ethnic identities. As part of this thesis, I investigate the ways in which culture, families, schools and society have shaped the identities of fifteen Latino students at Trinity. Identity theorists have spoken …
