Employer's Financial Aid To Employees For Education: Are Some Educational Barriers Removed?, Jerome L. Greenberg Aug 1983

Employer's Financial Aid To Employees For Education: Are Some Educational Barriers Removed?, Jerome L. Greenberg

Student Work

"The aim of adult education, as I see it, is to inspire grown-ups to be something more than they are now and to do their work better than they do it. Its beginning is wherever one finds oneself. It ends only when ambition ceases to function. At its best, it leads to constantly increasing richness of life, better appreciation of what life offers, great satisfaction in the use of mind and body, and better understanding of the rights and duties of one's fellowman." (James E. Russell, 1978) The purpose of this field project was to assess the problems faced by …

The Development Of A Personnel Policy Handbook For Certified And Classified Employees In The School District Of Ralston, Richard J. Bonham Aug 1983

The Development Of A Personnel Policy Handbook For Certified And Classified Employees In The School District Of Ralston, Richard J. Bonham

Student Work

The legal authority to provide a system of public education rests with the state; thus, the state constitution and legislative statutes authorizing school districts are sources of that district's power. It is, however, left to the voters of the local school district to elect the citizens who will govern the schools and determine policy within the parameters established by constitutional and legislative provisions. As an agency of the state, one of the school board's most important jobs is to see that the state's education laws and the rules and regulations of the state are implemented in the school district.

In general, rural Alaskan teachers did not report frequent use of nationally recommended practices; rather , they …

An Investigation Of The Effect Of Intensive Clinical Instruction In Spelling Strategies On The Decoding Skills Of Reading Disabled Students, Deirdre Breathnach Jul 1983

An Investigation Of The Effect Of Intensive Clinical Instruction In Spelling Strategies On The Decoding Skills Of Reading Disabled Students, Deirdre Breathnach

Student Work

There appears to be a general agreement among educators that a close relationship exists between the skill of reading and the skill of spelling. Since both reading and spelling serve as major components of communication, parallels exist between factors necessary for success in spelling and reading (Chall, 1967; Wallace and Larsen, 1979). After observing methods employed by students in spelling unfamiliar words, Kottmeyer (1959) concluded that skills used in decoding words in reading are also used in attempts to spell correctly.
