Systemic Racism and Implicit Bias Influencing US School Counseling
Working Women in Canada: An Intersectional Approach
From Career Girl to Sexy Stewardess: Popular Culture and Women’s Work in the Canadian and American Airline Industries
This article examines three popular renditions of female flight attendants in Canada and the United States in teen fiction, film, and advertising, with attention to representational shifts from the 1940s to the 1970s. Our analysis demonstrates that the more sexualized image of the 1960s was a significant departure from the more complicated immediate postwar presentation of the flight attendant as a resourceful and capable career girl, albeit one …

The relationship between school collective reflective practice and teacher physiological efficacy sources
Learning History in School: The Impact of Course Work and Instructional Practices on Achievement
The connection between high school courses and student knowledge on standardized tests has seldom been studied in social studies fields—and almost never on a national basis and with a wide range of statistical controls. We look at the relationship between course work in U.S. history and performance on the 1994 National Assessment of Educational Progress (utilizing the 1994 High School Transcript Study to measure course enrollments). We find that …
Enrollments in High School Government Classes: Are We Short-Changing Both Citizenship and Political Science Training
For 30 years political scientists largely ignored high school education in civics and government. There are two explanations for this neglect. First, the prevailing view was that students learned nothing from civics courses (Langton and Jennings 1968). Second, social scientists increasingly saw themselves as members of scientific disciplines, so whatever interest they had in precollege education was devoted to augmenting disciplinary knowledge (H…
Social Support and Achievement for Young Adolescents in Chicago: The Role of School Academic Press
This study explores whether the social support that young adolescents may draw on for their academic activities is related to how much they learn in mathematics and reading over the course of a year. Data came from 1997survey reports collected by the Consortium for Chicago School Research from 30,000 sixth and eighth graders in 304 Chicago public elementary schools about the support these students receive from their teachers, their parents, their…
High School Size: Which Works Best and for Whom?
The study described in this article investigates the relationship between high school size and student learning. We used three waves of data from NELS:88 and hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) methods to examine how students’ achievement growth in two subjects (reading and mathematics) over the high school years is influenced by the size of the high school they attend. Three research questions guided the study: (a) Which size high school is most …

Collective Responsibility for Learning and Its Effects on Gains in Achievement for Early Secondary School Students
How the organization of teachers' work affects students in their early years of high school is the focus of this study. A nationally representative sample of 11,692 high school sophomores in 820 U. S. high schools and 9,904 of those students' teachers was used, drawn from the base year and first follow-up of the National Educational Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88). Organizational effects were evaluated on students' gains in achievement (in m…
Effects of High School Restructuring and Size on Early Gains in Achievement and Engagement
This study assessed the impact on lOth-grade students of attending high schools whose practices are consistent with the school-restructuring movement. Using data on a sample of 11,794 sophomores in 830 high schools from the first two waves of the National Educational Longitudinal Study of 1988, the authors evaluated restructuring effects on students' gains in engagement and achievement in four subjects and the social distribution of those gains. …
Effects of School Restructuring on the Achievement and Engagement of Middle-grade Students
This study examined the impact of attending restructured schools on the achievement and engagement of young adolescents.The restructuring movement is placed within the conceptual framework that favors the development of more communally organized schools, as opposed to the largely bureaucratic model of most American schools.Using a subsample of data from the base year of the National Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88), including 8,845 eighth gra…
