 * Research:**

This year, as I was in the middle of completing the final write-up of my practicum, I presented a paper based on part of the findings from my practicum, as part of a session at AERA in San Diego, through Division G, the Social Context of Education. Here is the paper (30 pp.) and the presentation.

Here is the finished practicum. It is loaded in three pieces due to file sizes: the body of the paper, and the appendices in two parts. (187 pp.)
