Box 30

When it comes to the use of archival information about teaching, there is a lot out there to find. i began searching through the ball state library and daily news archives to look for information that would be helpful to me in my research. the problem that i encountered though was that there was plenty of information, just none of it was relative to my subject matter. everywhere i looked i only found where a teacher had gone on strike, or been fired, or had went to court about something or another. what i need is a teachers account of their teaching experience in their own words. it's hard to gain insight about what makes a great teacher if you dont get an actual account from the teachers themselves. archival information could be helpful to me if i was needing simple information, but what i need is a detailed and personalized account. so the archives didnt really help me out too much
