Pressure Basketball And The Speed Game: A Comprehensive Coaching Philosophy, Lanny Vaneman

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

There has been in the past, and likely will continue to be, an obvious lack of printed material dealing with the discipline of basketball. The wide spectrum of everything that is to be taught, as well as how it is to be introduced (in the writer’s opinion) has been neglected. Rather than focusing on one phase or a limited number of areas of interest, this work attempts to serve as a comprehensive basketball coaching manual for a beginning mentor. It should also serve well for one who wishes to reevaluate or revise his coaching philosophy. Careful thought has been given …

This writer, along with two other staff members was fortunate to attend a health education workshop sponsored by ESD No. 112 in the fall of 1974. A process of curriculum development for health education was …

Sex Education In New South Wales, Australian Council For Educational Research (Acer), Beryl King

Information Bulletin

This bulletin includes a study conducted in 1946 by Miss Beryl King, at that time on the staff of the Armidale Teachers’ College in New South Wales, who surveyed the amount and type of sex education given through schools or churches across three states, Victoria, NSW, and Queensland. It found that non-departmental (private) schools teach more biological science involving reproduction than did departmental (public) schools. Furthermore, it suggests that there is little administrative difference regarding sex education in the three states, with any steps taken to instruct on sex education resting entirely with the teachers themselves. The questionnaires were also …
