A Comparative Study Of Elementary School Students With Respect To Their Creative And Technical Writing Skills, Karen Sweeney

Student Work

The Nation at Risk challenges educators in all areas of curriculum. We have heard of apparent deficiency in our reading and writing curriculum through such reports as "Why Johnny Can't Read" and "Why Johnny Can't Write". These items were brought to our attention in the book by Rudolph Flesh called Why Johnny Can't Read in 1955. (1) The concepts still get attention today. A further indictment was that of former Creighton University student and basketball player, Kevin Ross, who claimed that he went through four years of college without the ability to read and write at a level where he …

An Appraisal Of The Revised Procedure For Teacher Evaluation In The Woodbine Public High School, Patrick W. Morgan

Student Work

The public has long expressed a desire to improve education. In the past year there have been several reports such as A Nation at Risk and High School: An Agenda for Action, indicating various problem areas that need the attention of the public and educators nation wide. These reports have been submitted by federal and state commissions, education committees, and "knowledgable" individuals. The areas of concern and the recommendations include additional funding for salaries, supplies, materials, curriculum revision, higher standards of achievement, lengthening the school day and the school year, as well as other suggestions and ideas.

Competency Based Training To Facilitate Improved Quality Interaction Between Parents And Their Handicapped Infants And Preschoolers, Jeanette A. Lengemann

Student Work

A widely accepted characteristic of early intervention programs for handicapped infants and young children is the active involvement of the child's parents. Although the actual extent of parental involvement varies with programs, typically parents are assuming the role of instructor or presenter of developmentally based activities seeking to improve the skill levels of their developmentally delayed children. Simeonsson, Cooper and Scheiner, (1932) reviewed 27 programs focusing on intervention with "biologically impaired" infants and young children. Seventy percent of those programs specified a role for parents within the intervention for their children. The value of parent involvement is thought to be …

An Analysis Of The Source Of Competencies Acquired By Principals In The Omaha Public Schools, Lennard N. Hansen

Student Work

Questions are often asked about the extent and nature of qualifications needed to become an effective school principal. Are there certain personal qualifications which help a principal operate effectively and implement change within his or her school? A person looking toward possible future administrative duties, or a current school administrator is likely concerned with effective decision making and problem solving within a framework of expectations from superiors, subordinates, the public and government funding sources.

Governing Schools In Culturally Different Communities: Effects Of Decentralization In Rural Alaska, Oliver Scott Goldsmith, G. Williamson Mcdiarmid

ISER Reports

Decentralized in 1976, rural Alaska's schools today experience varying levels of lay control. What factors condition lay participation in and influence on school governance? This study examines two factors: the type of governance issue; and the type of community. The hypotheses tested are: professional dominance is greatest on issues considered to be internal to the expertise of professionals; and lay influence will be greatest in small, remote and ethnically homogenous communities. Data used to test these hypotheses are taken from a 1981 survey of rural principals (N = 304) and a 1982 survey of rural teachers (N = 304). Informants …

Development Of An Evaluation Process For The Extra-Curricular Program Of The Papillion-Lavista Schools., Robert W. Hahn

Student Work

In 1957 enrollment in the Papillion-LaVista School District was less than 400 students. BY 1960 it was 691, and by 1966 there were 2223 students enrolled.

There is one senior high school and two junior highs. Also, the population of the school district now exceeds 2500 people. The two communities of Papillion and LaVista have changed from small rural communities to suburban communities with a much wider range of public concerns …

A Model For Evaluating The Effectiveness Of Mainstreaming., Yvonne Crockett

Student Work

Years ago it was a common and accepted practice to segregate handicapped students from their nondisabled classmates. It was presumed that handicapped youngsters needed a sheltered segregated environment in order to make satisfactory progress in school. Handicapped students were given a special curriculum and social contact with their school peers was limited (Dunn, 1968). However, since the 1960's there has been a trend towards moving handicapped children from segregated classrooms into regular class settings. This trend gained momentum which led to the passage of the federal mandate Public Law 94 142 which stated that handicapped individuals should not be inappropriately …

Some Relationships Between Student Curriculum Choices And Approximation Of School Goals, William F. Coker

Student Work

In 1642, a Massachusetts law was passed which contained what was probably the first list of educational goals in colonial America. According to this list, the child was to learn to read, to understand and obey the laws of the country, and to understand and live by Christian principles. It is interesting to note that these goals were stated as duties of the parents, since public schools were not required by law (Johanningmeier, 1980). Since that time, many different lists of educational goals have been developed. In general, these goals have been based on tradition, politics, and religious beliefs rather …
