Profile: Dave Kanellis, Charles Frederick

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Dave Kanellis, a teacher of social studies and environmental studies at West High School in Iowa City, is what one might consider a teacher's teacher. Although Dave was born in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania, he has acquired many of the characteristics of a midwesterner, one of which is a down-to-earth approach with people. This characteristic is displayed in many ways in the classroom as well.

Notes On An Iscs Visit, Vincent N. Lunetta

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

In late January, 1973, I had the opportunity to work with persons in Tulsa, Oklahoma in the evaluation of their ISCS-Level I program. Some of the local innovations in Tulsa, I believe, are noteworthy enough to be brought to your attention. Included below are extracts from a letter I wrote after my visit to Mr. A. Q. Polk, Supervisor of Science in the Tulsa Public Schools. The notes cover ISCS program evaluation and thoughts relating to my school visits.

Individualized Instruction? I Tried It And It Worked!, Michael Gross

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

"Individualized instruction? — I tried it and it didn't work!" This is the statement that is frequently heard at professional meetings and in visiting with teachers. Upon further examination, it is usually found that the individuals making the statement only tried an individualized approach for a very short period of time. The frustrations they had experienced were usually that l) most kids sat around doing nothing, 2) it was impossible to manage the paperwork in keeping track of where each student was, and 3) the time required to develop individualized units and materials just wasn't worth the reward in terms …

Secondary Science Training Program Enrichment For High School Students, Edward L. Pizzini

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

We live in an environment where the success of many educational programs are directly proportional to the amount of external funds appropriated. When federal funding for a program dries up, unfortunately, the program may come to an end. This end is in sight for many of the Secondary Science Training Programs sponsored by the National Science Foundation throughout the nation. However, at the University of Iowa, the SSTP programs are i n t he process of expanding beyond a firm foundation.

Some Reasons For Not Working Toward A Humanistic System

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

There is only one acceptable excuse for not changing: If you really are comfortable with what you are doing and if your students tell you they are really comfortable, then don't change. Ask your students and see how they feel. If you say you'd like to change but can't for any of the reasons above, you're copping out!

Project Assist: A Plan Of Action, Daniel S. Sheldon

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

A plan of action to improve mathematics, social science, and science education has emerged as a result of over two years of meetings and planning conferences with school personnel representing all academic levels of education in Iowa. In addition, a seven-week Leadership Development Conference (LDC) was held this summer at The University of Iowa involving the regional coordinators and many of their "team" chairmen representing one of the various emphases of Project ASSIST, i.e., in-service and pre-service programs, community involvement, assessment, and student programs. Seventeen coordinators and over thirty program chairmen participated in the LDC.

Teaching For Affective Learning, Gary E. Downs

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

During the last ten years, many innovations have been aimed at reconstructing science education from kindergarten through high school. These efforts have produced more up- to-date information which was supposed to reflect more nearly the scientific enterprise as it is today. Gallagher (1971) contends that the course-content improvement projects have failed to show this, and they have failed to show that science is a significant cultural force.

Biology Convention Offers Something For Everyone
