Biographical/Historical Sketch
The Stanford Consultation Services, under the direction of Education Professor Robert N. Bush, conducted case studies of teachers
and administrators in selected school systems in California, Colorado, Washington, and Australia. Evaluation and rating forms
were filled out by students and colleagues of the individual being studied.
These records, dating from 1949 to 1956, were received as part of Robert N. Bush's papers but have been catalogued separately.
Due to their large volume, the records were sampled in the following manner. Three separate cases representing different school
ages were kept in their entirety: Alameda High School, Alameda, CA (case 60T); MR Trace Elementary School, San Jose, CA (case
79.2T); and Jordan Jr. High School, Palo Alto, CA (case 88T). Summary folders from all remaining cases were kept as well as
all general administrative files.
