having access to a role model, we created a code for servingas a role model or having a role model. We define a role model as a person(s) whom theparticipant observed and was inspired by without necessarily having any prior relationship orcommunication. For example, many participants explained that their faith in their own ability tobecome an engineer was strengthened after seeing someone excelling within an engineeringprogram who “looked like them” or came from a similar background. Their role models inspiredand motivated them to work harder. Additionally, many participants described increasing theirinvolvement in NSBE/SHPE as a result of observing role models. As one participant said, “she isdoing all these things— if she can do it I can do it

A theory’s usefulness is two-fold, in particular when considering theories to study education interventions and associated change. Atheory must be able to illuminate phenomena of interest, that is, explain and predict. Yet it is also shouldbe practical, meaning potentially informing practice; in our case, this would equate to helping interventionleaders/change agents to

The public school systems in New Orleans prior to Katrina consistedof roughly 65,000 students spread among ~4,000 teachers with a predominantly (~93%) blackpopulation. The term ‘white flight’ was coined in the mid 1900’s to represent the drain of whitefamilies from inner city to suburban neighborhoods after desegregation. In the late 80’s to

presented (Figure 1). The lecturer leads the students towards adiscussion around the different shapes of the vehicles. Soon the students discover the problem oftipping over backwards if there is too much power driving the rear wheels. So, how is the topfuel dragster stable? A simple force balance shows the students the point of the long nose of thedragster is to stabilize it as it applies its large torque to the wheels and accelerates. Torque,which had previously been applied to only abstract and obscure systems now answers a specificand visible question in the students’ minds.
