This mixed-methods case study was conducted to gain principal and diversity club advisor insight into the organization of high school diversity clubs. The focus of this study was specifically on advisor qualifications, club resources, and multicultural curriculum. The data collected was derived from five public high schools in a southwestern Wisconsin conference, and included eleven participants. The study was accomplished through two data collection methods: online surveys and interviews. The surveys were analyzed using quantitative analysis, specifically frequency distributions, and open-ended responses were analyzed with in-vivo coding to determine the best follow-up questions to ask in the interview process. Interview questions were all qualitative in nature and were analyzed with in-vivo methods, allowing for the creation of three key themes and four emerging themes. Interview responses coupled with the survey responses indicated principals and advisors did not place much emphasis advisor qualifications. Instead, the organization of the diversity clubs stemmed from resources and curriculum provided to both the club and the advisor of the club. Findings helped provide insight into examples of curriculum, professional development, resources, and funding, and showed a need for further investigation into the most effective practices of diversity clubs in the goal of promoting inclusion and multicultural education.

Este artigo faz parte dos resultados preliminares de uma pesquisa de mestrado e versa sobre as questões de juventude e ensino médio. O objetivo deste trabalho é compreender as possibilidades de viver a juventude no contexto escolar, considerando a relação das jovens estudantes com os colegas, com a escola e os desafios do cotidiano, com base em suas narrativas. A metodologia utilizada é de natureza qualitativa com base em narrativas produzidas através de entrevistas narrativas sobre as vivências no ensino médio de duas jovens estudantes do ensino superior, da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria.  As entrevistas narrativas foram analisadas a partir da análise temática que trouxe a tona tramas/categorias para organização dos dados e posteriormente pela análise estruturalista. Essas possibilidades de viver a juventude no cotidiano escolar referem-se aos processos de socialização, que se traduzem na relação dos jovens com os pares durante o percurso formativo; nos processos e expectativas de preparação para o futuro, principalmente quando a escola se coloca como uma das únicas possibilidades de mobilidade social; no enfrentamento dos desafios vividos, como a falta de oportunidades de expressão corporal e a fragilidade das relações sociais, como o Bullying e nas táticas empregadas que criam uma forma própria de viver a escola, driblando normas para tornar acontecimentos do cotidiano em ocasiões de ganho e vantagem. As narrativas de Aline e Juliana mostram que, mesmo na diversidade de experiências, elas conseguem representar as vivências e a universalidade do ser juvenil.OF WAYS OF LIVING BETWEEN DIVERSITY AND THE UNIVERSALITY OF YOUTH IN SCHOOL: narratives on high schoolAbstract: This article is part of the preliminary results of a master's research and addresses the issues of youth and high school. The objective of this work is to understand the possibilities of living the youth in the school context, considering the relation of the young students with the colleagues, with the school and the daily challenges, based on their narratives. The methodology used is of a qualitative nature based on narratives produced through narrative interviews about the experiences in high school of two young students of higher education, Federal University of Santa Maria. The narrative interviews were analyzed from the thematic analysis that brought to the fore the frames/categories for data organization and later by the structural analysis. These possibilities of living the youth in the daily school refer to the processes of socialization, which are translated in the relationship of the young with the peers during the formative course; in the processes and expectations of preparation for the future, especially when the school is one of the only possibilities for social mobility; in the face of the challenges faced, such as the lack of opportunities for corporal expression and the fragility of social relations, such as Bullying and, in the tactics employed that create a proper way of living the school, avoiding norms to make everyday events in times of gain and advantage. The narratives of Aline and Juliana show that, even in the diversity of experiences, they can represent the experiences and the universality of the youthful being.Keywords: Narratives. Youth.

High school cosmetology students study the methods and effects of various human hair treatments, including permanents, straightening, conditioning, coloring and cutting. Although they are provided with textbook examples of overtreatment and numerous hair disorders and diseases, a view of an individual hair at the high resolution offered by an SEM provides convincing evidence of the hair‘s altered structure. Magnifications up to 2000X provide dramatic differences in perspective. A good quality classroom optical microscope can be very informative at lower resolutions.Students in a cosmetology class are initially split into two groups. One group is taught basic controls on the SEM (focus, magnification, brightness, contrast, specimen X, Y, and Z axis movements). A healthy, untreated piece of hair is initially examined on the SEM The second group cements a piece of their own hair on a stub. The samples are dryed quickly using heat or vacuum while the groups trade places and activities.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to explore the ways in which adolescent students who stutter perceive their school experiences. Method This study used a qualitative, phenomenological research design. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 7 adolescent students who stutter (3 in middle school and 4 in high school). Participants were interviewed about their school experiences, including the effects of stuttering on academics, learning, teacher relationships, peer relationships, speech therapy experiences, and self-image. Data analysis consisted of transcribing interviews and analyzing them for emerging themes. Results Findings revealed that participants described a variety of experiences around the school setting. Participants reported less favorable middle school experiences. Middle school participants reflected more on teasing, bullying, and feelings of embarrassment, whereas high school participants revealed that teachers, staff, and peers were receptive and accepting of them and their stuttering. All participants reported that their speech therapy helped with classroom participation. Conclusions As a result of the participants' varied experiences, it is important to listen to and incorporate the voices of students who stutter into school, classroom, and therapy decision-making practices.
