A Comparative Study Of Enrollment Patterns In Three East Pottawattamie County School Districts, Merlin A. Haukoos

Student Work

In 1971 a study was conducted for the purpose of assessing the benefits of possible reorganization of the Carson-Macedonia, Oakland and Treynor Community School Districts. In this study the school enrollments were studied for the years 1964-1965 through the 1970-1971 school year and enrollment projections were made through the 1974-1975 school year. The enrollments were projected for each school district and were combined into one larger configuration for its implications for staffing, class offerings, busing, facilities and financial needs.

The Analyses And Comparison Of Five Elementary Spelling Programs, Richard Hindalong

Student Work

Spelling is one of the principal components of any elementary school program of language arts or English. Educationally, as well as socially, poor spelling is generally considered a sign of illiteracy. Whether this is justified or not, people do raise conclusions about a person's education and intelligence on the evidence of his/her spelling abilities. Therefore, strong spelling programs continue to be desired as an integral part of an elementary school curriculum.

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

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.

Patterns Of Control In Rural Alaska Education, Gerald A. Mcbeath, Judith Kleinfield, G. Williamson Mcdiarmid, E. Dean Coon, Carl. E. Shepro

ISER Reports

A 3-year study of decentralization of Alaska schools identified several factors that influenced whether a school, was locally controlled and found patterns of control associated, in important ways with staff and community attitudes toward school. Information was gathered by surveys and interviews conducted in 28 communities randomly selected to represent all rural Alaska schools. Analysis of patterns of control showed 24% of rural Alaska schools with regionalized control, 40% with localized control, and 36% with "mixed" control. Field studies suggested that the attitudes and values of district superintendents were a major factor in decentralization. Localization of control was also dependent …

Evaluation Of A Junior High Pilot For Gifted Science Students., Glenn L. Schanou

Student Work

With the beginning of the 1983-84 school year, the Science Department Faculty at Central Junior High in Millard, Nebraska, initiated a new "Investigative Science" course. The Investigative Science course was designed to challenge students who possessed high interest in science, exhibited creativity, and demonstrated intellectual capacity. However, it was possible for a student with very high achievement scores not to be selected if he had little interest in science. During the selection process only a limited number of students .were chosen and although many students achieved the minimum requirements, only the brightest had the opportunity to take the new course.

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 …

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 …
