A Historical Study Of The Chap Program In The United States Air Force, Ruth A. Harrington
Student Work
Life in the military for most, families is an interesting and enjoyable experience. It offers an opportunity to make many friends, meet interesting people, travel to new places, and live in foreign countries. For the family with a handicapped child these advantages can turn into disadvantages and be an additional area for concern. Frequent moves, long separations, and the strangeness of new communities can cause worry and apprehension. Not knowing what is available for their special child at the next duty station can lead to additional stress and lower the morale of the family.

The Development Of A Comprehensive Long Range Plan To Determine The Financial Facility And Program Needs For The Iowa School For The Deaf Council Bluffs, Iowa, Norman Keith Devine
Student Work
Everyone concerned, including parents of deaf children, educators of the deaf, board members, legislators, and eventually the deaf person himself wants the same thing. That is the best possible education for each deaf child. In order to provide programs that will insure this end, there is a need for a well thought out long-range plan of action. Traditionally, long-range planning by schools has been concerned with certain quantitative aspects of operation: enrollment projections, facility needs, current income, current expenditures, and variations of these quantities. The emphasis in this study was that resource planning dominated attention.

A Study Of Basic Characteristics And Views Of Team Teaching Programs And The Expectations Of Elementary School Principals Currently Supervising Team Teaching, Joel G. Christiansen
Student Work
Traditionally, in Fremont, Nebraska, the elementary schools have been organized around self-contained classrooms. However, during the past year, efforts have been made in the Clarmar Elementary School to change this arrangement, and capitalize upon the special abilities and interests of the teachers in the intermediate grades. For example, in a fifth grade, one of the two teachers instructed both sections of math, while the other taught English. With this background experience, the fourth and fifth grade staff members concluded that the advantages of "team teaching" and the self-contained classroom should be incorporated into their instructional 1976-77 school year. Toward this …

As the decade of the seventies unfolded, significant innovations were being introduced in public schools across the country for the purposes of improving instruction and enriching the learning experiences of students.

Teacher Corps, on the university level, and Title I programs in the public schools are examples. Other examples are reading programs such as HILINC and PRIMALINC and, also, special math programs. A program entitled Veterans in Education came at a most opportune time. Educators …

A Study To Determine Why Nebraska's K-12 Public Approved School Districts Are Not Accredited, Wayne A. West
Student Work
The significance of State Accreditation in Nebraska's public and non-public school systems is a fact which is generally recognized by educators. Accreditation represents a means of classifying school districts according to their ability to adhere to State established rules and regulations. It is also a system of labeling school systems according to the quality of educational programs offered. The Nebraska State Department of Education identifies two levels of accreditation. These are an "A" accreditation and "AA" accreditation. Those schools which do not meet the standards for accreditation are classified as "approved".

A Comparative Study Of Attendance In The Senior High Schools Of The Omaha School District For 1974-75 And 1975-76., Robert L. Whitehouse
Student Work
Poor student attendance is one of the greatest problems facing most schools in the country today. Omaha is no exception. Absence figures have grown at an alarming rate in recent years. In 1974-75 there were 180,649 absences in the eight Omaha Public senior high schools. Truants and others who are habitually absent are often considered to be non-conformers. It seems true that non-conformers, more than con formers, hold part-time jobs, own cars, "hang around," and smoke. These students also have generally lower vocational ambitions, shorter education al plans, and dislike school more than those who attend school regularly. Because of …

The Wolbach Title I Remedial Reading Program Is Effective In Improving The Reading Scores Of Participating Wolbach Students, Gary N. Hammack
Student Work
Reading is a basic skill that is fundamental to nearly any course a student encounters in his academic career. The teaching of such an important skill as been a subject of controversy for many years; hence, many programs have been initiated, some a failure, some a success. No subject has been more philosophized or argued about or experimented with than the teaching of reading. Some students have succeeded no matter what the program--and still others have had great difficulties.

The Present Status And Future Trends Of Business Education Programs In Nebraska Public High Schools, Pamela A. Troutman
The Present Status And Future Trends Of Business Education Programs In Nebraska Public High Schools, Pamela A. Troutman
Student Work
Curriculum and instruction decision making is a complex problem. Many attempts have been made in the past two decades to develop new curriculum and instructional techniques which the proponents of such programs and procedures hoped would be adopted by schools throughout the nation. In many cases, however, such hopes were never realized since the classroom teacherp were unwilling or unable to use the new approaches. Thus a more realistic picture of what is currently happening or what will happen in any curriculum area can be better determined by finding out what classroom teachers anticipate than by relying on the prediction …

An Analysis Of Teacher Evaluation Methods And Procedures Utilized By Elementary Principals In A Selected Sampling Of Nebraska's Aa Accredited Schools, Robert L. Lykke
Student Work
Wherever there are human beings, there will be evaluations. Man is an evaluating and goal seeking being. Even if he were to decide not to evaluate, he would end up evaluating how well he succeeded in giving up evaluating. So the issue is not whether there will be evaluation; rather it must involve questions such as what, how, by whom, for what purpose, and with what consequence.
