This study employs case study methodology to investigate faculties' interpretations of academic optimism by examining the organizational and instructional …

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
In 2003, the Virginia Department of Education authorized a committee of 11 teachers to write a report detailing Virginia's public education history. The committee drafted a document that provided a chronological account of the major developments in public education in Virginia from 1607 to 2003. The document provided minimal coverage of the history of Virginia's African American population, specifically during the Antebellum (1830s-1860s) and Reconstruction (1865-1871) eras. The history of public education for Virginia's African American population, 1865-1870, was completely omitted from the document. The post-Civil-War era was a critical time period in both United States and Virginia educational history …

After an initial training session on "story," data were collected at three key points during the student teacher internship. This data consisted of participants' written stories, focus …
