SUMMARY
The recent resurgence of oral histories as educational techniques offers great insight into the past for current high school students. While oral history projects are gaining more prominence in social studies classrooms, other disciplines have yet to adopt this model of instruction to the same level. The purpose of this study was to explore the use of oral histories in the high school teacher preparation program, Instructional Practices in Education. The study involved a qualitative methodology using a case study of the Instructional Practices in Education teacher, as she went through the process of assigning and evaluating an oral history project for her students. A model oral history project was developed by the authors, for use as a pilot study of this project. At the completion of the process, the teacher shared her experiences and evaluations of the use of this particular oral histories project in her classroom.
