ABSTRACT
Ms. Green, a history and civics teacher at Halloway High School, was a strong proponent of student effi cacy. She only needed to utter the fi rst half of her hallmark phrase, “If it’s change you want . . .,” before her students fi nished it for her: “. . . then it’s change you must create.” Many students who felt alienated or disconnected at Halloway gravitated toward Ms. Green and her classroom.
