There exists, at the elementary level, a lack of research that describes conditions contributing to academic optimism. This research helps to fill that void by identifying, describing, and categorizing the norms, behaviors, strategies, and other pertinent characteristics that exist in a low-SES school that has established and is maintaining an academically optimistic environment. Primary themes include: expectations/goals, alignment, collaboration, communication, and needs . . .
Track researcher ideas through the use of memos and links.
Most of the studies on optimism seem to be focused on low SES schools, and I wonder how many occur in high SES schools. Could there be an unwarranted assumption that optimism in low SES is more rare, more powerful, or more necessary for success than in high SES? If so, is this presumption just about low SES schools, or is it a larger assumption about low SES and success?

Emphasize relevance over volume Integrate rather than isolate the literature from the
other chapters Look for things you can use ◦ Questions, settings, people, scenarios, historical events,
debates, logical connections
Revise the construction of the literature review at the end of the analysis
Appreciate and track the role of material that DOESN’T make it into the review ◦ Does it deserve a brief mention for providing confirmations,
setting boundaries around the study, identifying camps, anticipating critiques, or providing juxtapositions?
