Africa Is Not A Country: Teaching African Culture Through Picture Books, Dorothy N. Bowen
Curriculum and Instruction Faculty and Staff Scholarship
When you hear a news report from Nigeria, Sudan, Kenya, or South Africa, what comes to your mind? Is it a part of the world that interests you? Do you listen intently to what follows? Do you view Africa as one big country or are you aware of the many languages, cultures, and countries that are there? Or do you just turn off until the next news item comes up?

Fayette Schools Need Effective, Inspiring Leader, Richard E. Day
Curriculum and Instruction Faculty and Staff Scholarship
There is a leadership crisis in our school district that needs to be fixed quickly. As the school board considers superintendent candidates, it is appropriate to discuss whether the next superintendent should be from inside the district or outside, and what qualities are crucial. Given recent history, I can think of nothing more important than finding a qualified person who knows the district, shares the board's vision and has a demonstrated commitment to Fayette County and its children. We need a steady hand on the wheel.

What is like for an American family to raise their children in African country? What is it like for the children who are sometimes known as "third culture kids" because they are neither totally a part of their parents' culture nor totally a part of the adopted African culture, but rather are a combination of both?

The Image Of Libraries And Librarians In Children's Literature, Dorothy N. Bowen
Curriculum and Instruction Faculty and Staff Scholarship
A new action figure of a frumpy librarian who moves her index finger to her lips with 'amazing push-button shushing action!' has librarians around the world raising their voices in protest." A public library director from Maine said in response to the bespectacled woman in a cardigan, long plain skirt and sensible shoes, "The shushing thing just put me right over the edge. It's so stereotypical, I could scream."

On School Funding, State Is Inadequate, Richard E. Day
Curriculum and Instruction Faculty and Staff Scholarship
While it may be amusing to watch those in power above us blame each other and make excuses, in the end, it is disheartening. Those of us at the school level know that no matter who ultimately gets blamed, we're the ones who must be here for the children. We are reminded daily, there can be no excuses for failure. The legislature, the school board -- everyone -- must do his or her job, so that we can do ours.

Using Biography In The Elementary Classroom, Dorothy N. Bowen
Curriculum and Instruction Faculty and Staff Scholarship
When biography first gained recognition as a genre for adults, it was not considered an appropriate form of literature for children. As it began to gain a place in children's literature, as was true of most books written for children at the time, biography was used as a tool for teaching children to emulate the hero.

Users coming to our library catalogs are more often looking for materials dealing with particular subjects rather than seeking specific titles or authors. Therefore, when we prepare our catalogs we must take special care to use terminology which will best retrieve this material. We must pay special attention to the "aboutness" of each item in order to select the most precise term.
