1989-90 Annual Report, Illinois' Investment, Illinois Mathematics And Science Academy

Annual Reports

In many ways, the 1989-90 school year at the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy can best be described as a year of re-creation. Having successfully met the challenges of the start-up years (1986-1989), our fourth school year became a time for thoughtful reflection, refocus and renewal. Within the context of strategic planning, we began to examine our values and beliefs, to clarify our mission and aspirations, and to develop bold, innovative strategies for achieving our institutional objectives.

Assessment-Of Teaching: Purposes, Practices, And Implications For The Profession- Complete Work, Jane Close Conoley, James Y. Mitchell Jr., Steven L. Wise, Barbara S. Plake

Assessment of Teaching: Purposes, Practices, and Implications for the Profession

The Buros-Nebraska annual Symposia on Measurement and Testing are aimed at providing a forum for discussing important issues in the field of measurement and testing. The topic for the 1987 Symposium was "Assessment of Teaching: Purposes, Practices, and Implications for the Profession." This topic was selected because of the current interest in developing, designing, and implementing accountability programs for teaching that are present in many states and education programs. The complex nature of teaching, combined with the unique measurement issues for assessing outcomes in the teaching context, provided the basis for identifying the topic of teacher assessment for the 1987 …

Parental Attitudes And Opinions Of Central City School District #133, David Daum

Masters Theses

The accountability of the nation’s schools is an area of great public concern. A useful tool that a school district may use in becoming more accountable to the public is a parent opinion inventory. The inventory may serve as one step in the process of bridging the gap between public expectations of the school district and its actual performance. This study measured the opinions of fifty-seven parents about the performance of the Central City school district. The opinions were determined by a fifty-one item inventory issued to parents in grades kindergarten through grade eight. Recommendations, based upon inventory results, were …

Application Of Zero-Base Budgeting In The Learning Resource Center, Javad Raiesdana

Masters Theses

Budgeting is a statement of the organizational goals and objectives in monetary terms. Traditionally, budgets have been developed by adding to the previous year's budget as a base (at least in theory), but rather to start from a zero base and requires a justification of all expenditures. This method of budgeting assumes that each years's budget requests are built up from zero in response to the priorities and needs of that year.

The range of opinion about zero-base budgeting is broad. Some critics regard it to be of great value while others feel that it is inadequate. The purpose of …

A PERSONAL COMMENT FROM OFFICE A210

The good news is that Spring Break is only three weeks away! The bad news is that pre-enrollment will start after Spring Break! Some minor changes have been made in our process. A Faculty Senate committee is studying both pre-enrollment and enrollment procedures, which may result in recommendations for additional changes. Who knows, we may go full circle and return to gathering in the Student Union Ballroom to complete the entire process in two and one-half days! (Some of us remember the good old days.)

A Handbook For Elementary Students And Parents, G. Joel Aune

All Graduate Projects

This project presents the development of a handbook for the parents and students of Vale Elementary School in Cashmere, Washington. The handbook was designed in response to a specific recommendation that surfaced during the Cashmere School District self study process which occurred during the 1988-89 school year. This handbook was designed to both define the policies and procedures of Vale Elementary School, and communicate those policies and procedures to parents and students. The handbook was developed with input from the parents and staff of Vale Elementary School. Handbooks from other elementary schools in central Washington were also consulted in the …

A Handbook For High School Activities Coordinators, Douglas W. Helgeson

All Graduate Projects

A handbook for activities coordinators in AAA-size high schools was developed. The result of the study indicated that management of student activities was moving to the supervision of an assistant principal, and that a representative document for implementation and organization of student activities was needed. Further, the study demonstrated that a handbook for advisors and for students needed to be developed to complete the organizational loop.

Data were collected from all AAA-size high schools. Representative common job responsibilities for a half-time activities coordinator were provided. Recommendations from the conclusions were discussed.

Media And Ideology, Neil Postman

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article conceptualizes media ecology as an analytical lens for understanding how successive communication technologies generate ideology, shaping language, cognition, and social organization. Integrating systems thought, Marxist materialism, and time space analysis, it traces transformations from the typographic revolution to contemporary television and computer environments. Case illustrations ranging from monastic clocks and the printing press to satellite linked financial markets reveal that each medium reconfigures cultural values such as individuality, privacy, rational discourse, and civic participation. The discussion underscores the responsibility of communication administrators to anticipate technological biases, cultivate critical literacy, and adapt curricula amid accelerating digital change. Concluding with …

A Response To The Roper Report On Electronic Career Preparation, David E. Tucker

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article evaluates an influential survey of broadcast executives that judged college preparation for electronic media careers. Through content analysis of the report’s findings, this article identifies conceptual ambiguity surrounding entry level positions, limited response detail, and reliance on broad generalizations. It highlights how undefined variables, including market size and curricular diversity, weaken claims that graduates lack real world skills, writing competence, and technology experience. The critique questions recommendations advocating industry instructors, faculty externships, and expanded internship programs, noting structural constraints in liberal arts curricula and institutional finance. By situating methodological flaws within media studies and higher education literature, this …

Planning Departmental Structure: Disciplinary Integrity Versus Pragmatic Opportunism, Lloyd Crisp, David Seibert

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article interrogates whether speech communication departments should pursue disciplinary coherence or embrace pragmatic opportunism while adapting to shifting institutional environments. Through case study analysis of structural evolution at a land grant university and a suburban research campus, it traces how size, articulation mandates, physical facilities, campus politics, curricular demand, public image, and faculty composition interact to shape organizational structure, program identity, governance, and resource allocation. A systems theory perspective yields ten planning criteria, showing that alignment with local contingencies rather than idealized disciplinary purity sustains enrollment stability, instructional quality, and faculty legitimacy. By framing communication studies as a socially …

Strategies For Recruiting Women And Minority Faculty In Communication, John J. Makav

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article critiques passive affirmative action rhetoric and outlines a systematic recruitment program for diversifying communication faculties. Drawing on narrative evidence from multiple universities, it identifies structural barriers including limited doctoral pipelines, evaluative bias, and salary disparities that constrain minority and women hiring. The discussion advances eight recruitment strategies: forming cross level search teams, adopting flexible credential criteria, cultivating doctoral networks, advertising in targeted outlets, broadening evaluation beyond publications, promoting cultural inclusivity, budgeting competitive packages, and clarifying attainable tenure pathways. Emphasis is placed on institutional commitment, proactive attitude, and sustained innovation as levers for equity, organizational resilience, and academic excellence. …
