Pilot Implementation Of The Nebraska Reading Retrieval System At Norman Rockwell Elementary School, Bernard Vanis

Student Work

There is a variety of different reading systems in use in the elementary schools today. The most commonly found systems are often organized into a basal reading series which many schools use as their major source of reading instruction. However, no matter how complete a basal series is, it can't be the answer for all of the students all of the time. To incorporate this area of weakness or needed review, teachers often use supplemental materials from a variety of sources. Some of the problems with gathering supplemental material are that of time to search, money to acquire, space to …

Evaluation Of The Avoha Title I Preschool, Dennis L. Johnson

Student Work

Funding for programs in local schools is being cut by all levels of government. Local schools are being told they have to get by on less money and to get more out of each dollar spent. School districts can become only so efficient, therefore, the question as to which programs will have to be eliminated must be answered. Apparently this situation will continue for some time, and studies must be done to determine which programs help the most children, along with the degree to which they are helping those children. In other words, which programs are really helping students develop …

Computer Banking And Cross-Referencing Of Mathematical Materials For The Elementary Grades, Daniel Jordan Martin

Achieving A Concensus On Dog Control Strategies: A Brief Primer, D. B. Wilkins

Pets Collection

The welfare arguments surrounding dog ownership may not stimulate the same passionate fervor as those relating to the use of animals in experiments, factory farming, or the hunting of live animals with hounds, but nevertheless, they are matters of real concern to most welfare organizations. The most serious problems are caused through irresponsible ownership, which leads to overbreeding and the inevitable consequence of large numbers
