The Development Of A Comprehensive Long Range Plan To Determine The Financial Facility And Program Needs For The Iowa School For The Deaf Council Bluffs, Iowa, Norman Keith Devine

Student Work

Everyone concerned, including parents of deaf children, educators of the deaf, board members, legislators, and eventually the deaf person himself wants the same thing. That is the best possible education for each deaf child. In order to provide programs that will insure this end, there is a need for a well thought out long-range plan of action. Traditionally, long-range planning by schools has been concerned with certain quantitative aspects of operation: enrollment projections, facility needs, current income, current expenditures, and variations of these quantities. The emphasis in this study was that resource planning dominated attention.

A Study To Determine Why Nebraska's K-12 Public Approved School Districts Are Not Accredited, Wayne A. West

Student Work

The significance of State Accreditation in Nebraska's public and non-public school systems is a fact which is generally recognized by educators. Accreditation represents a means of classifying school districts according to their ability to adhere to State established rules and regulations. It is also a system of labeling school systems according to the quality of educational programs offered. The Nebraska State Department of Education identifies two levels of accreditation. These are an "A" accreditation and "AA" accreditation. Those schools which do not meet the standards for accreditation are classified as "approved".

A Comparative Study Of Attendance In The Senior High Schools Of The Omaha School District For 1974-75 And 1975-76., Robert L. Whitehouse

Student Work

Poor student attendance is one of the greatest problems facing most schools in the country today. Omaha is no exception. Absence figures have grown at an alarming rate in recent years. In 1974-75 there were 180,649 absences in the eight Omaha Public senior high schools. Truants and others who are habitually absent are often considered to be non-conformers. It seems true that non-conformers, more than con formers, hold part-time jobs, own cars, "hang around," and smoke.

The Present Status And Future Trends Of Business Education Programs In Nebraska Public High Schools, Pamela A. Troutman

Student Work

Curriculum and instruction decision making is a complex problem. Many attempts have been made in the past two decades to develop new curriculum and instructional techniques which the proponents of such programs and procedures hoped would be adopted by schools throughout the nation. In many cases, however, such hopes were never realized since the classroom teacherp were unwilling or unable to use the new approaches. Thus a more realistic picture of what is currently happening or what will happen in any curriculum area can be better determined by finding out what classroom teachers anticipate than by relying on the prediction …
