Connecting to Community Through Oral History (C2C)
In Connecting to Community Through Oral History (C2C) students will reach out to K-12 teachers in their home communities to conduct oral histories that explore teachers’ experiences. Through the process of conducting, collecting, and sharing research, students will emerge as a community of scholars invested in the health of their home communities. C2C will be the first significant digital database focused on teachers and will make ASU a key resource for scholars, educational leaders, and policymakers committed to the health of K12 education.
