The researcher uses critical, post colonial, and narrative methods to question the
assumptions within activist/community oriented civic engagement approaches by
comparing and contrasting encounters with community members (families & parents)
with school people (elementary teachers) as she attempted to support ongoing climate

purpose of this poster or paper session is to describe and analyze that work and to
examine more closely the somewhat different perspectives that emerged from parents and
teachers in survey data and observations after the project was completed.
