A Multiple-Case Study Examining The Experiences Of Culturally And Linguistically Diverse Teachers In Grow Your Own Programs, Emily Couch

Doctor of Education (EdD)

This multiple case study investigated the experiences of culturally and linguistically diverse teachers who came to teach through participation in a Grow Your Own teacher preparation program. The study explored the ways in which the culturally and linguistically diverse educators viewed their participation in the Grow Your Own (GYO) program as impeding or facilitating persistence through their teacher preparation. The study shares the stories of three participants through narrative case reports and then highlights cross-case replications. Looking at the stories through a critical framework, the researcher identified three primary commonalities across the cases including a) the participants’ view of language …

"We Can Write, Too!" A Developmentally Appropriate Writing Curriculum For Grades K-1, Danielle Pierce

All HCAS Student Capstones, Theses, and Dissertations

The Common Core State Standards initiative was created to unify current learning standards and ensure that all students were prepared for graduation across the United States (Common Core State Standards Initiative, 2021). Despite this initiative, national assessment data has shown that most students do not perform to grade level expectations in writing (Costa et al., 2020; NAEP, 2011). Scholarship has demonstrated that there is a deficit of research in primary grade writing instruction, and a lack of universal direction in how to teach students to meet writing standards (Graham & Harris, 2005; Korth et al., 2017).

Testimonio And Counterstorytelling By Immigrant-Origin Children And Youth: Insights That Amplify Immigrant Subjectivities, Ariana Mangual Figueroa, Wendy Barrales

Publications and Research

This article seeks to amplify our scholarly view of immigrant identity by centering the first-person narratives of immigrant-origin children and youth. Our theoretical and methodological framework centers on testimonio—a narrative practice popularized in Latin American social movements in which an individual recounts a lived experience that is intended to be representative of a collective struggle. Our goal is to foreground first-person narratives of childhood as told by immigrant-origin children and youth in order to gain insight into what they believe we should know about them. We argue for the power of testimonio to communicate both extraordinary hardship and everyday experiences …

Breaking Down Barriers: Using Collaboration To Increase The Accessibility Of Campus Resources For Graduate Students, Caitlin Hayles

M.A. in Higher Education Leadership: Action Research Projects

In this action research project, I explored how the University of San Diego (USD) can better support graduate students, particularly through examining the accessibility of existing campus resources.

Through this research, I found communication and the breaking down of silos across schools …

Integrating Common Data Analytics Tools Into Non-Technical Undergraduate Curricula, Kurt Kirstein

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

Aside from statistics courses, accessible data analytics skills are often excluded from traditional non-technical university programs. These are topics that are typically the domain of programs that focus on math, statistics and computer science. Yet the need for these skills in non-technical disciplines is changing. A rapid expansion of data-related processes in organizations of many types requires individuals who have at least a working knowledge of common analytic tools. This article briefly describes three categories of data analytics tools that can be useful for graduates in any discipline. The first category covers descriptive tools that allow students to learn what …

The following is a message from ETSU leaders to students, faculty and staff on April 20, 2021. 

Dear ETSU Community,

The guilty verdict in the Derek Chauvin murder trial announced earlier today brings with it a flood of emotions for many in our community. Though some may find relief in the idea that justice has been served, the wounds our nation has experienced as a result of centuries of racial and social inequalities will not be healed through the decisions of a single jury or the events of a single day. 

George Floyd’s murder has heightened our collective awareness of …
