    "Oh, It Was Different Then!" Case Stories of Unsought Change in the Lives of Three Retired Elementary School Teachers

Abstract

I interviewed three retired teachers who began their careers in Wisconsin one-room schools and retired as teachers in a large suburban elementary school. These case stories explore the three women's experience of and responses to change. I suggest that their positive attitudes call into question assumptions in the school change literature about teacher resistance to change.
