A Survey Of High School Media Production Facilities In First Class School Districts In Western Washington, Henry Kiyoshi Maruoka

All Master's Theses

As more emphasis is placed on high schools to change towards a more flexible program to meet the learning needs of the students, teachers must be provided with adequate instructional materials that are up-to-date and relevant. The services rendered by a well-organized local production center are an important facet of a media program that can assist in achieving these needs.


Stylistic Characteristics Of Randall Thompson's Choral Music, Robert Hugh Creigh Jul 1970

Stylistic Characteristics Of Randall Thompson's Choral Music, Robert Hugh Creigh

All Master's Theses

Randall Thompson's choral music, widely performed by professional groups, colleges, and choirs from public schools, establishes this composer as one of the foremost in contemporary music. In view of such popularity, it would seem that choral directors should more fully acquaint themselves with some of the idiomatic characteristics of his style.

The Development Of School Board Policies For The Alta Community School District, Paul L. Bjorkgren Jul 1970

The Development Of School Board Policies For The Alta Community School District, Paul L. Bjorkgren

Student Work

Public education in the United States is a function of the states. In discharging this responsibility each state has recognized that a considerable degree of local control of education is essential. The establishment of local school districts and the creation of local boards of education to administer school district affairs reflect this point of view. This decentralized control of education places heavy responsibilities on local boards of education. Although state mandatory laws and regulations governing education must be followed, numerous decisions on educational matters have been left to the discretion of local boards. It is not surprising that educational policy …

On The Road To Educational Failure: A Lawyer's Guide To Tracking, G. Emlen Hall Jun 1970

On The Road To Educational Failure: A Lawyer's Guide To Tracking, G. Emlen Hall

Faculty Scholarship

Tracking, using the term in the broader sense to include all ability . grouping, represents a solution to an insoluble dilemma. While individualized instruction has long been touted as the great desideratum in American education, no one has ever been willing to pay what it would cost to give each child a different education. Educators thus devised what they considered to be the-next best thing, educational units large enough to be economically viable but small enough to isolate students with what were thought to be roughly similar educational needs. These needs are determined by an unformulated formula employing "objective testing," …

Survey Of The Millard Elementary Summer School Program, Gene L. Bentley

Student Work

For hundreds of thousands of youngsters across the country, the "good ole summertime" is better than ever. However, there are some children who must attend summer school to make up work that they have failed during the school year. The parents of the Millard School District elementary students are making for the reasons that their child has been referred for the remedial work during the summer school.

Reading Interests In Relation To Vocational, Extracurricular, And Academic Interests Of Boys In Grades Two Through Six, Diane C. Mccarty

All Master's Theses

Educators are continually seeking ways of aiding children in preparation for their adult lives. There has been much research involving the interest and aspirations of the secondary and college student, often leaving the elementary child behind. The writer felt the need to explore the possibilities of a positive relationship between reading, vocational, academic, and extracurricular interests within the elementary grades. If a correlation could be established, this would aid the teacher in developing the necessary skills in a strong foundation for future use by the student. The three-part research hypothesis would determine (1) if a significant relationship exists between the …
