Educational Opportunities For Pregnant Students In Selected Utah Schools, Pearl Bergeson

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

Education of women has been neglected in many ways throughout history. In recent decades educational opportunities for women have been greatly expanded. Women have become leaders in education and compose the majority of public school teachers. In spite of these strides in women's education, and growing educational provisions for both men and women, some special groups remain neglected.

This investigator is particularly concerned with one special group: School-age girls who are pregnant. Special educational needs of most school-age pregnant girls are not being met. These young women often face insurmountable difficulties in the schools.

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

In the past six years, U.S. business schools have greatly expanded their use of computers in teaching and research. In 1966, only 11 percent of the business schools required student proficiency in programming; by 1970, the total had risen to 62 percent and is undoubtedly higher today. In 1971, the Graduate School of Business (GSB) at Stanford acquired a dedicated time-sharing system to replace the time-sharing services provided by the Stanford Computation Center (SCC). A study of computer usage in the GSB and of the impact of the dedicated time-sharing system was con- ducted; detailed results may be found in. …

Middle School Curriculum

Harry Stottlemeier's Discovery is the student book for a project in philosophical thinking. It offers a model of dialogue—both of children with one another and of children with adults.

An Empirical Estimation Of A Cost Function For Elementary And Secondary Education, Alexander Bradley Holmes

Graduate Dissertations and Theses

Recent court cases, such as the California case of Serrano v. Priest, have revived interest in the question of equal educational opportunity. While The Supreme Court ruled that, in effect, education is not a right guaranteed under the Constitution and thus financing education on the basis of a local property tax is not unconstitutional, the provision of equal educational opportunity is still very much a live public issue, at least on the state level. The institution of the Fleischmann Commission in New York State to study educational financing with the mandate that "removing (educational) inequities deserves top priority" is …

The Determinants Of Curricular Offerings In Selected Public Adult High Schools In California., Vernon Stanley Jaquith

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

One of the tasks of the adult school administrator is that of planning the program to be offered to the public. Is it well balanced academic and vocational areas; does it satisfy the needs of the home-maker, the student, the apprentice; does it offer something for each to fulfill his educational needs? These and a number of other questions must be answered before an adult school program will satisfy the educational needs of the adult community it is to serve. Damon stated it well when he wrote that: Although adult education is assuming a more important place in the public …

Defining And Attaining Equal Educational Opportunity In A Pluralistic Society, Ernest Q. Campbell

Vanderbilt Law Review

We in America have never made peace with the concept of pluralism. As a nation, we are fundamentally committed to the ideal of "equal opportunity"; yet, despite our presumably concomitant dedication to the principle that society should accommodate diverse values and goals,we have not conceptualized any means of determining whether equality of opportunity exists except by measuring people on the same scale. We have an appropriate rhetoric for describing equal opportunity--self-actualization, through which each person develops to the fullest extent in those directions that he or she wishes--but we have no institutionalized standards for determining whether realization of potential has …
