The Journey Of Mindfulness Into Western Classrooms And Its Impact On Education, Cameron Kolodge
All Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Everything has a story, a point of origin, a list of defining features that make it into what it is. Yet the larger and more ubiquitous something gets, the harder it can be to define. The saturation of educational related mindfulness publications, resources, and research has made mindfulness into a modern educational phenomenon. The scale of this phenomenon begins far before its western transition and includes forces throughout history and around the globe. In an attempt to truly understand the story of mindfulness many layers need to be peeled back. Layers that have made it increasingly difficult to discern what …

The Role Of Teacher Race On The Academic Outcomes Of K-12 Black Students, Mitchell Siewert Olson
All Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Beginning with the inception of our educational system in the United States, there has been an academic disparity that has persisted between white and Black students.

The purpose of this literature review is to understand the role that teacher race plays in the academic outcomes of Black students. A review of the available …

With the majority of teachers being White and the majority of students being nonwhite, most students find themselves racially-incongruent to their teachers.
