Bonding & Bridging Social Capital In Family & School Relationships, Ryan Hurley
Bonding & Bridging Social Capital In Family & School Relationships, Ryan Hurley
Theses and Dissertations
Developing successful family & school relationships has long been a challenge for urban schools. This qualitative case study investigated a parent engagement program that took place at one school in a Midwestern city. This program is based on a program in Chicago featured in Soo Hong’s book A Cord of Three Stands that pairs parents with teachers in the classroom while also creating a space for parent-to-parent relationships. This research analyzes the program through the theoretical lens of social capital in an attempt to understand how strategic relationships in inorganic settings can impact the relationships between schools and families.

Still Runnin’ The Underground: A Critical Case Study Of An Adolescent African American Male Reflecting On School, Dalisha Shante Williams
Theses and Dissertations
Despite the vast amount of research on effectively educating African American students, there are few studies capturing the educational narratives of African American students, and specifically Black males, in their own words. Much of the literature focuses on dismal statistics and outcomes concerning African American male students. Drawing upon Woodson’s (1933) timeless critique of the miseducation of the Negro, Afrocentricity in education (Asante, 1987; King & Swartz, 2014,2016) emancipatory pedagogies, and Ladson-Billings’ (1994) theory of culturally relevant pedagogy, this study explores one adolescent African American male’s reflections on school. Using a critical case study methodology, one participant, Merrick, participated in …
Recovery From Design, Cassandra J. Ellison
Recovery From Design, Cassandra J. Ellison
Theses and Dissertations
Through research, inquiry, and an evaluation of Recovery By Design, a ‘design therapy’ program that serves people with mental illness, substance use disorders, and developmental disabilities, it is my assertion that the practice of design has therapeutic potential and can aid in the process of recovery. To the novice, the practices of conception, shaping form, and praxis have empowering benefit especially when guided by Conditional and Transformation Design methods together with an emphasis on materiality and vernacular form.

Wise Choices? The Economics Discourse Of A High School Economics And Personal Finance Course, Tamara L. Sober
Theses and Dissertations
Today’s high school students will face a host of economic problems such as the demise of the social safety net, mounting college student debt, and costly health care plans, as stated in the rationale for financial literacy provided by the Council for Economic Education’s National Standards for Financial Literacy. These problems are compounded by growing income and wealth inequality and the widespread influence of neoliberal ideology. Although one of the major goals of economics education is to teach students to make reasoned economic choices in their public and private lives and provide the skills to solve personal and social …

Creating Equitable Access Pathways For All Students In South Carolina? A Study Of Sc International Baccalaureate Diploma Programs, Diane D. Padula
Theses and Dissertations
This case study adds insight to the idea of equitable access as it relates to advanced coursework available to students in public high schools in South Carolina. The International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IBDP) has become a viable choice since secondary-level magnet programs in SC have taken root for over thirty years. The IBDP originally developed in SC to attract the global elite, however in the recent decade, the IBDP has morphed into a program meant for all students. The concept of IB for All is marketed as a college readiness program within South Carolina IBDP schools. Access is multidimensional; it …
