Integrating Children's Literature And Mathematics In The Early Childhood Classroom, Jamie M. Christensen
Integrating Children's Literature And Mathematics In The Early Childhood Classroom, Jamie M. Christensen
Graduate Research Papers
"Historically there have been three reasons for groups to formally adopt a set of standards: (1) to ensure quality, (2) to indicate goals, and (3) to promote change. For NCTM, all three reasons are of equal importance" (The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 1989, p. 2).
Now, more than any other time in history, mathematical reform is essential in our school systems. The traditional mathematics curriculum was designed to prepare shopkeepers, farmers, and factory workers for occupations in the early 1900s. Some of those skills are still useful in today's society. However, as the new millennium approaches, our future …
A Review Of The Research On Social Withdrawal In Children And Adolescents, Ryan Lee Channel
A Review Of The Research On Social Withdrawal In Children And Adolescents, Ryan Lee Channel
Graduate Research Papers
Recent research on peer relations has differentiated two groups of socially isolated children, one due to social withdrawal and the other because of aggressive behavior. Aggression has seen more research and more conclusive evidence of the development of later problems while much of the peer relations literature has previously regarded the socially withdrawn child as questionable in terms of risk. Developmental theorists, however, maintain that interpersonal experiences enable children to gain a sense of other's perspective and relate to peers in social settings. Lack of, or continuously negative interactions will affect development of social cognition, limiting the learning gained through …

Graduate Research Papers
Technologies, such as computers, Internet, electronic mail etc., offer educational institutions limitless opportunities for learning and teaching.

Does Technology Reform Education?, Connie Courbat
Does Technology Reform Education?, Connie Courbat
Graduate Research Papers
School reform initiatives have been part of public school change for some time. In the past two decades, this author has participated in implementing several educational changes within a public school classroom. Some of these changes have involved learning new teaching strategies, integrating technology into the curriculum, implementing new concepts such as whole language, and participating in workshops to learn about "new" educational topics.
Often these change efforts were embraced by educators as new and innovative ways to help students learn. However, many of these changes were tried and discarded because no ongoing effort was made to incorporate them systematically …
