Materials To Supplement An Individualized Mathematics Program, Virginia Condon

All Graduate Projects

This project represents an attempt to develop some materials to supplement the Addison-Wesley Mathematics Program for Grade 2. The commercial program, as it stands, is conceptually sound. Operationally, however, it in many cases did not satisfactorily meet the needs of the individual students of the classroom.

Therefore, the basic material was retained (i.e., student workbooks, teacher's manual, unit tests). Materials have been developed which allow some individualization in the presentation of the concepts, self-pacing by the student, testing devices, working conditions, manipulative materials, and follow-up worksheets. These terms are further explained in the pages that follow, as well as their …

A Survey Of Administrators' Attitudes Regarding The Effectiveness Of The Middle School, John Charles Epperson

All Master's Theses

This study was made in order to gain data pertinent to assess the need for change from junior high school to middle school. The study did indicate that a majority of middle school administrators believe that educational philosophy was more influential than was economic expediency in the creation of the middle school. It was evident that the majority of middle school administrators believe that the students served by the middle school are more tranquil, better disciplined, and taught better, because of the middle school structure.

Due to responses received, it is recommended that further study of achievement levels be made.

Retention Of Traditional Culture Concepts And Attitudes Toward Education By Mexican-American Adults In Chelan And Douglas Counties, Jacqueline Mae Lee

All Master's Theses

Who Is The Elementary School Principal And Is He Necessary?, Stuart Craig Juris

All Master's Theses

Much has been written on the role of the elementary school principal. Prior to World War I, most elementary schools were small schools organized into graded classrooms in which "generalist teachers" taught all subjects. The role expected of the principal in small schools was that of supervisor-manager (28: 85). The principal' s major responsibility was the classroom supervision of teachers.

Studies of the past two decades indicate that little change has occurred in attitudes about the responsibilities of this position. A 1948 nationwide study of the principalship (9) indicated that the main role of the principal was one of supervision. …
