    EXPLORING GLOBAL IDENTITIES AT THE CENTRAL IDAHO SCHOOL: A CRITICAL ETHNOGRAPHY By CAITLYN ANNE SCALES A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY Department of Teaching and Learning JULY 2019 © Copyright by CAITLYN ANNE SCALES, 2019 All Rights Reserved © Copyright by CAITLYN ANNE SCALES, 2019 All Rights Reserved To the Faculty of Washington State University: The members of the Committee appointed to examine the dissertation of CAITLYN ANNE SCALES find it satisfactory and recommend that it be accepted. Paula Groves Price, Ph.D., Chair Pamela J. Bettis, Ph.D. Tariq Akmal, Ph.D. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENT Completing this dissertation has been one of my most difficult life achievements. The amount if individuals who have supported this process dates back nearly a decade when I moved myself up to the Pacific Northwest from Costa Rica with a suitcase, my dog, and my Subaru. I recently read a journal entry from the first semester of my doctoral classes where I wrote about how inspired I was to contribute to world changing work with incredible people in the Cultural Studies and Social Thought in Education program at WSU. To this day, the sentiment I wrote about the people I am now incredibly privileged to know rings true. Since my time at WSU I have been exposed to a variety of learning environments, opportunities with schools and organizations that span beyond the reaches of the traditional classroom and have the continued opportunity to contribute to a larger national conversation around how we all can be open to change in our current system of education.

  • Otter Bar 2009
    CZlhaZiiZg '%%-HZVhdcl^i]'%%.=^\]a^\]ih %.The winter of 2007 – 2008 produced above average precipitation with a normal snow pack and an unusual amount of low snow that stuck around for months. This increased the ground water dramatically as slow melting snow seems the best contributor to the aquifer. Our early season was very slow which has prompted us to make some changes in 09 (see dates). Late May June and July were booking well when all of California experienced a fierce lightening storm on June 21. This started numerous fires all over the state including several in our area. We began to be intermittently effected by smoke and after several weeks it was apparent that one of the fires was going to reach our property. We closed in mid July due to smoke, road closures, and the chaos of a dramatic increase in fire fighting crews and overhead. We remained closed for a month as the fire made it’s way to us and burned the length of our property above the road It was largely a “good” fire and was of low intensity. We were hugely relieved to have it go by us without the devastation of a hot “crowning” fire. We were very fortunate to have a great deal of help from the Federal government. At one point we had three engine crews on AD9<: the property, three pumps and five thousand feet of hose lay. This was an extremely stressful time as we never knew what changes to fire behavior could occur based on the weather. We survived with the forest still in great shape and reopened in mid August.
