Flexible Scheduling, Stanley R. Schmick

Graduate Student Research Papers

The purpose of this study is to show that we are recognizing and learning ways to cope with the problem; namely: how to return the use of time, space, numbers, and content to those who need it--the teachers and their students--in even the larger schools that symbolize so well our concept of education for all youth. We are also learning how to cope with an equally important additional problem; how to treat a pupil as an individual even though he is one in a great mass of students.

Fear exists so generally in contemporary life that our time has been called the “age of anxiety.” The present age is probably no more fear-ridden than earlier periods in history; instead, we perhaps recognize the inroads of fear more clearly and acknowledge them more openly than we did in the past.

Textbooks Used In The Elementary Schools Of New Mexico (1846-1964), Mildred Gunn Fitzpatrick

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

Textbooks have been highly influential in developing the instructional program in American schools. Next to the teacher, textbooks have had a more significant part in determining what has been taught and how it has been taught than any other single influence (Maxwell, 1921, p.1; Tidwell, 1928, p.1; N.E.A., 1962, p.23; Carpenter, 1963, p.278). Textbooks reflect the trend of current educational thought; therefore, the development of a broad picture of textbook use in New Mexico should provide a better understanding of instructional programs both in pioneer-day and present-day schools systems. A study of textbooks should also provide information about the general …
