Selected Language Tests And Reading Ability, Dale Leavesley Melada
Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs
he ability to communicate effectively in oral language precedes the ability to create and interpret language in its written form. Some research studies have shown that reading is a language based activity, but the problem is that little has been done with the knowledge of language and language competencies children bring to school, especially those children who read early or before they come to school. Insights into the ways in which children use language at various stages of their development would greatly assist teachers and parents in fostering both oral language competence and the ability to read and write.

Qualifications Needed By Teachers Of English: Ratings By English Curriculum Coordinators And English Educators, Eugenia Porretta Miller
Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs
A new climate of teaching has been established in which English teachers must be able to demonstrate those teacher behaviors, characteristics and qualifications that foster high quality instruction in the classroom.

These qualifications, based on an earlier set of Guidelines in 1967, suggested desirable competencies for teachers of English. The latest qualifications prepared by the NCTE Committee on Teacher Preparation and Certification represented progress from the generalities of previous efforts to a set of specific …

The Antecedents And Consequences Of Organizational Crisis In A Voluntary Professional Organization, James Paul Miller
Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs
This study investigated two instances of organizational crisis occurring within a voluntary professional organization. The central research task was twofold: (1) to reconstruct accurately the historical events which preceded and followed two unsuccessful strike bids by a voluntary teachers' organization; and, (2) to develop a theoretical explanation which would account for the antecedents and consequences of the crises which inevitably surfaced after the strike bid defeat. Concepts drawn primarily from the organizational crisis and conflict literature provided the general conceptual orientation.
A large urban teachers' organization in the Southwestern United States was chosen as the research site. Due to the …

Expectations For Teacher Role Behavior In A Multi-Cultural Community, George Michael Perreault
Expectations For Teacher Role Behavior In A Multi-Cultural Community, George Michael Perreault
Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs
Statement of the Problem
American public schools have been criticized for failing to meet the needs of children from minority groups. The cultural heritage of these children is seen as an important factor in differential achievement in the public schools. It has been postulated that students and adults from different cultural groups would hold different expectations for teachers, and this would hinder the chances of minority students to benefit from Anglo-oriented schools. However, there is little empirical evidence regarding expectations teacher role behavior held by minority students or teachers.

Reading Enrichment Materials For Teaching Borderline Students, Katie M. Jackson
Reading Enrichment Materials For Teaching Borderline Students, Katie M. Jackson
All Graduate Projects
Borderline students are always the students who seem to go unnoticed in the classroom. The students' reading levels are not high enough to function at grade level and not low enough to get the extra assistance from the Reading Specialist in the assigned building. Often the students are given just enough reading material to keep them busy.
A reading enrichment program, developed through the use of learning packets and supplemental books, is designed to help alleviate some of the problems these students experience in reading. The learning packet materials were selected to encourage students to appreciate books, learn to read …

The Effect Of A Visual Perception Handwriting Program On The Acquisition Of Handwriting Skills, Joanna R. Jones
Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs
The purpose of the study was to determine if first grade students could gain control of the handwriting skill with greater perfection of letter formation through the simplified method devised by the investigator than through
a combination of commercial handwriting programs used by the control group. Participating in the program were forty-eight first-grade students from a rural school in New Mexico. No significant difference resulted between the experimental handwriting program emphasizing visual perception and the control handwriting program with little emphasis on visual perception.

Of Time And Tense: An Analysis Of The English Verb Tense System For The Esl Teacher, William David Helz
Of Time And Tense: An Analysis Of The English Verb Tense System For The Esl Teacher, William David Helz
MA TESOL Collection
The intent of the writer with this paper is to provide the ESL instructor with the knowledge necessary to effective planning for and teaching of lessons concerning the verb tenses of English.
The analysis given in the paper is an attempt at viewing the verb tenses as compromising a system which is basically symmetrical and surprisingly logical. As such, it is felt that through exploring the relationships tenses share with one another, we have found the key to demonstrating tense usage and meaning effectively for students and to planning drills and exercises which will zero in on the primary conceptual …

They are designed to organize and simplify the complexities of written Bengali. My paper explains the assumptions about teaching and learning I developed during the production of the charts, my understanding of the sounds and spellings of the Bengali language and their arrangement on the charts …

Moreover, teachers' values are often considered to be closely related to their leadership styles. The purpose of the present study was to determine the relationships between the values and leadership styles of Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) academy teachers in Michigan.
