Biographical/Historical Note
The Educator's Oral History Collection represents the combined effort
of graduate students and faculty of the UCF College of Education to catalogue
the histories of past and current teachers in the Central Florida area. Under
the guidance of Dr. Jennifer Deets and Dr. Marcella Kysilka, elementary and
secondary teachers, as well as college professors, were interviewed in an
attempt to discern the changing nature of local education. Issues such as race,
socioeconomic backgrounds, methodologies, resources, and administration were
discussed in hopes of chronicling the past and present problems facing
educators.
Collection Scope and Content
Materials are divided into two series and arranged alphabetically by
last name of interviewee. Each series focuses on separate interview sessions
from the years 1997-1999 and 1998-2002, respectively.
