Editor's Notes
- What is it about case studies that make them so prevalent?
- Case studies are completed on virtually every topic you can think of. Case studies are VERSATILE, MAINSTREAM, and can be a great teaching tool. In fact, when researching case studies in education (hoping to find the “one” BIG “famous” one) I kept coming up with using case studies as an instructional tool. They are great for stimulating debate, problem solving, and collaboration. Since they are STORIES, they are much easier to read, understand, and RELATE to.
- As mentioned before, there is an OVERWHELMING amount of case studies out there. I was hoping to fine ONE really good one to share that would resonate with everyone, but nope, that’s not the nature of the beast. So I chose three, that resonated with me! 1)The first is from a book put out by the National Paideia Center. I chose the case study featuring Chattanooga School for the Arts and Sciences (CSAS). This school is in my hometown and a WONDERFUL and AMAZING school. It’s a K-12 Magnet school and is one of the most sought after schools to attend. Before changing to a lottery system, parents were known to CAMP out for nearly a WEEK to get their child on a waiting list. It’s one of the oldest magnet schools in the city and very successful. 2)The next case study is about boarding schools in Alaska. I’m taking Issues in AN Education with Paul Ongontooguk and found the whole idea of boarding schools fascinating. This study is an example of a MULTIPLE case study. They look at several boarding schools (including St. Mary’s, Mt. Edgecumbe, Wrangell Institute, Copper Valley, and Beltz) and school experiences, good and bad. This study took place during 2004-2005 and combined the interviews of 60 Alaska Natives who had attended these schools between 1945-1985. 3)The last is a Case Study produced by NBC during their Education Nation Week. It’s actually one of 10 studies done about successful schools and programs around the country. Taking a community approach to educational issues, funding, and struggles they see in their community, this case study is about the Cincinnati community coming together to help out it’s schools. There is a short video to show you the work they are doing in their district. I’ll post the link in the chat box. Unfortunately, there isn’t a DIRECT link to the video, so when you click on the link, look at the top left bar for the word “VIDEO” and click that. When you finish watching, please click the “green checkmark.”
