The Transformative Experiences Of Female Educators As A Catalyst For Social Change In The World, April D. Jordan
The Transformative Experiences Of Female Educators As A Catalyst For Social Change In The World, April D. Jordan

What is sometimes missing from the discourse when discussing oppressive issues is the role women play in counteracting such subjugation. Also essential, yet missing from the research, are studies that underscore the importance of educators fostering social action change outside of and apart from institutions of learning and curriculum planning. This qualitative study examined the lives of six, nontraditional, female educator intellectuals whose perceptions of self (identity) and the world were transformed by engaging in …

Implementing Authentic Practice Through Capstone Projects At Selected Terminal Grades: A Policy Advocacy Document, Carla L. Sparks Dr.

American educational and political communities have become focused on assessment of students and accountability of teachers and administrators. Consequently, educators are focused largely on preparing students for high stakes tests, oftentimes at the expense of authentic instructional practice.

Therefore, I recommend through this Policy Advocacy Document that the school district under study require capstone projects of …
