Central Office Leadership: The Importance Of Promoting Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, And Belonging In The Ivory Tower, Natasha N. Johnson Edd Jul 2022

Central Office Leadership: The Importance Of Promoting Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, And Belonging In The Ivory Tower, Natasha N. Johnson Edd

CJC Publications

As a consequence of their multiple identities, underrepresented leaders often navigate both racialized and gendered pathways to leadership in the U.S. education industry. Nevertheless, relatively little is known about the impact of their intersecting identities and the structural barriers in this sector. To deepen our collective understanding of this phenomenon, the author reviews existing theories and research related to the intersection of race and gender within the educational leadership sphere. More specifically, the author highlights the individual and compounding effects of gender and race on the professional realities of current and aspiring leaders in education at the Central Office (i.e., …

A Convenient Rhetoric Or Substantial Change Of Teacher Racial Diversity? A Text Mining Analysis Of Federal, State, And District Documents, Sing Hui Lee, Briana Keith, Yasmine Bey, Yinying Wang, Xiulong Yang, Xiang Li, Jonathan Shihao Ji

Teacher racial diversity has been widely considered important in education. However, it remains unclear to what extent and how teacher racial diversity has been addressed at the federal, state, and district levels. In this study, we employed text mining to collect and analyze over three million documents at the federal, state, and district levels. We found that while students of color had disproportionately less access to racially diverse teachers, the documents under our analysis insufficiently discussed the recruitment and retention of racially diverse teachers. Our findings also reveal that education agencies at the federal, state, and district levels paid scant …

The Effects Of Information Literacy Instruction On Business Students’ Job Readiness, Daniel S. Le, Adrienne Graham, Jeremy Walker, Marie-Louise Watson

University Library Faculty Publications

The purpose of this study is to examine college student perceptions of information literacy instruction and to what extent library instruction influences students’ attitudes in their business research during their job-readiness training through the Panthers Advanced Career Experience (PACE). The findings suggest that library instruction intervention positively influenced and increased confidence in completing the information research for their client-based consultation projects


Microaggressions: An Introduction, Natasha N. Johnson Edd, Thaddeus Johnson Jan 2022

Microaggressions: An Introduction, Natasha N. Johnson Edd, Thaddeus Johnson

CJC Publications

Microaggressions are brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioral, or environmental indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative slights and insults toward people who are not classified within the “normative” standard. Perpetrators of microaggressions are often unaware that they engage in such communications when they interact with people who differ from themselves. This review of microaggressions in its numerous forms seeks to address the current literature regarding aversive behavior and its impacts; this includes investigating the manifestation and influence of everyday “isms,” on the quality of life of those on the receiving end of these acts. Ensuing …

Finding Evidence Of Community Cultural Wealth In Georgia: Testimonios Of Latina Immigrants On Navigating Cultural, Social, And Economic Barriers, Michelle S. Yrigollen-Robbins

Educational Policy Studies Faculty Publications

The Latinx immigrant population in Georgia has hopes of settling in a community that provides economic stability for their families, and academic opportunities for their children. This study explores the journeys of five Mexican women, from their decisions to leave their home country to their settling in the United States. The findings are based on a qualitative study that reveals the testimonios of the participants’ navigational challenges of crossing borders, settling in Georgia, and raising bicultural children in the New South. The participants’ testimonios show evidence of Yosso’s community cultural wealth, and the findings counter the deficit narrative about Georgia’s …


Legislating What Matters: How Policy Designs Shape Two New Immigrant Destinations Schools’ Responses To Immigrant Students, Kristina Brezicha Jan 2022

Legislating What Matters: How Policy Designs Shape Two New Immigrant Destinations Schools’ Responses To Immigrant Students, Kristina Brezicha

Educational Policy Studies Faculty Publications

This comparative case study examines the policies of two new immigrant destinations in the United States and Canada that in the past 20 years experienced a rapid influx of immigrants. Using an integrated framework of policy design theory and the context of reception, this paper analyzes the framing of immigrant students in the state, district, and school-level policies. Interviews with immigrant students in these communities show how these policies shaped their schooling experiences and communicated important messages to them about their role in their new communities, thus shaping their political identities. The findings highlight the important interplay of these different …


Interactive Transcription Techniques For Interaction Analysis, Arpit Mathur, Benjamin R. Shapiro Jan 2022

Interactive Transcription Techniques For Interaction Analysis, Arpit Mathur, Benjamin R. Shapiro

Learning Sciences Faculty Publications

Interaction analysis is a valuable method and approach to study knowledge in use in the learning sciences and CSCL communities. Central to interaction analysis is the creation of transcripts to selectively encode and represent audio and video data. However, current transcription techniques used in interaction analysis, including multimodal transcription techniques, have yet to explore the strengths and weaknesses of interactive visualization to selectively encode and represent people’s interaction in context. Drawing from our recent efforts to amplify, not automate, transcription in qualitative research, this paper interactively visualizes one video dataset in five different ways using contemporary interactive visualization techniques. Findings …


“Bettering Data”: The Role Of Everyday Language And Visualization In Critical Novice Data Work, Benjamin R. Shapiro, Amanda Meng, Annabel Rothschild, Sierra Gilliam, Cicely Garrett, Carl Disalvo, Betsy Disalvo Jan 2022

“Bettering Data”: The Role Of Everyday Language And Visualization In Critical Novice Data Work, Benjamin R. Shapiro, Amanda Meng, Annabel Rothschild, Sierra Gilliam, Cicely Garrett, Carl Disalvo, Betsy Disalvo

Learning Sciences Faculty Publications

Informed by critical data literacy efforts to promote social justice, this paper uses qualitative methods and data collected during two years of workplace ethnography to characterize the notion of critical novice data work. Specifically, we analyze everyday language used by novice data workers at DataWorks, an organization that trains and employs historically excluded populations to work with community data sets. We also characterize challenges faced by these workers in both cleaning and being critical of data during a project focused on police-community relations. Finally, we highlight novel approaches to visualizing data the workers developed during this project, derived from data …
