Intelligence And Achievement Testing Of Convalescent Crippled Children, Loretta M. Miller Mar 1944

Intelligence And Achievement Testing Of Convalescent Crippled Children, Loretta M. Miller

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

Psychological studies of crippled children have been few, but among published studies opinion is unanimous that crippled children test lower in intelligence than normal children. The study reported here arrives at the same conclusion. In that respect, it adds nothing new to the picture, but in an area in which findings are not entirely definitive, a study of convalescent crippled children may add confirmation to the general body of knowledge.

Standards Of Elementary School Service, Robert E. Mcconnell Jan 1944

Standards Of Elementary School Service, Robert E. Mcconnell

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

The time has come when every elementary-school teacher should be a college graduate. This could be accomplished immediately following the war if each state should require a college education as a prerequisite to the certification of newly trained teachers. When the standards for the education of teachers and for initial certification are raised to this level, the standards of school service will automatically reach an appropriate level. It is hoped that the public (parents) will soon rise up and demand this degree of professional respectability of the teachers of their children.

The Young Consumer, Amanda Katherine Hebeler Nov 1943

The Young Consumer, Amanda Katherine Hebeler

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

Yes, we have consumer education in the elementary schools. Someone may be inclined to ask, "Is it another subject in the curriculum?" No, you will not find it listed on the daily program nor will it be titled as "consumer education" in curriculum outlines. But it is there in every classroom where living and learning are closely associated.

Educational Objectives For The Post-War Period, Emil E. Samuelson Nov 1943

Educational Objectives For The Post-War Period, Emil E. Samuelson

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

It is a fair assumption that some sort of planned world order will emerge from World War II. The cynic will wonder whether this experiment will be any more effective than the now-defunct League of Nations, but at least the present indications are more favorable in that there is more interest in post-war problems, more evidence of comprehensive planning for the post-war period and a more widespread conviction that another world war must be prevented at all costs. Among Americans the conviction that this country has a responsibility for leadership and participation in the post-war period seems to be gaining …

Speech Development Aids Elementary Pupils, Amanda Katherine Hebeler Mar 1943

Speech Development Aids Elementary Pupils, Amanda Katherine Hebeler

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

Speech is one of the most obvious indicators of the child's development when he enters school. The five-year-old child should be able to do the following when he enters Kindergarten: a. Express his needs and thoughts in short sentences. b. Use a vocabulary of meaningful words when speaking of common every-day experience. c. Enunciate and pronounce words clearly enough to be understood, not using baby talk. About this same level of achievement should be expected of the six-year-old who has not had Kindergarten.

A Checklist Of Democratic School Practices, Ernest L. Muzzall Nov 1942

A Checklist Of Democratic School Practices, Ernest L. Muzzall

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

Democratic practices in the school are based upon three fundamental purposes. These are: the developing of wholesome and well-adjusted personalities, the forming of habits of mutual helpfulness and cooperation and the furthering of conditions within the school which will encourage intelligent behavior of members of a democratic society. The purpose of this check list is to provide a means by which those engaged in the educational task may examine their practices to see if they square with what they profess to believe.

Housing Needs, Helen Michaelsen May 1942

Housing Needs, Helen Michaelsen

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

We have a responsibility to influence for good the fundamental character of American housing by stressing essentials. What is essential at the beginning; what, if anything at the end? Not home ownership-a house and garden for everyone-but standards of upkeep, ethics for tenants, minor improvements of present home conditions, order and intelligence in the utilization of space, adjusting the old house to meet present needs, making best use of what one already has.

The War And The Public Schools, Emil E. Samuelson May 1942

The War And The Public Schools, Emil E. Samuelson

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

Now that the war is here, teachers and school administrators are being assailed by doubts and misgivings as to the importance of their day-by-day tasks. When a nation engages in war, it temporarily sets aside the more thoughtful and humane methods of improving human relationships and becomes absorbed in projecting a more immediate program for achieving an important national objective. Almost inevitably, public education in this country now faces stiff competition and struggle.

Six Books On Child Development, Robert E. Mcconnell Mar 1942

Six Books On Child Development, Robert E. Mcconnell

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

In the education of teachers for the elementary schools, it is important that they be tutored in the field of child-development as well as in subjects that give them a knowledge of life such as art, science, social science, mathematics, language and literature. The first deals with the learner and the second with those phases of life to be learned. Many young teachers report that in their early endeavors at teaching they have greater concern over the dealing with the child than in the branches of knowledge. The understanding of the child is the important consideration in many of their …

Functional Education For Teachers And Pupils, Robert E. Mcconnell

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

The new elementary school of the Central Washington College of Education, at Ellensburg, which was completed in September, 1939, is a foremost example of the new type of structure which is replacing the old and inadequate formal training school. It was designed to house a modern and functional elementary school and to be an integral part of a progressive teacher-education program. The curriculum is based upon contemporary life and individual student needs. It provides facilities for enabling teachers in training to secure the necessary experiences essential to the administration of the modern elementary school.

Rating Teachers To Help Them Grow, Emil E. Samuelson Jun 1941

Rating Teachers To Help Them Grow, Emil E. Samuelson

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

In 1936 there was considerable dissatisfaction with the rating scale being used in the supervision of student teaching at the Central Washington College of Education, and it was felt that a new scale was needed. Consequently, three faculty members, the primary supervisor, the supervisor of rural teaching, and the director of personnel and placement decided to make a detailed study and to construct a new rating scale. The Ellensburg scale, originally evolved for the rating of student teachers with emphasis on guiding their growth, should be equally helpful in the rating and guidance of teachers in service.

The Evaluation Of Teachers And Teaching, Emil E. Samuelson May 1941

The Evaluation Of Teachers And Teaching, Emil E. Samuelson

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

The need for accurate evaluation of teachers and teaching is strongly indicated by various current situations. Among these is the oversupply of trained teachers and of candidates for admittance to teacher-training institutions. What candidates shall be selected for training? What teachers already trained shall be given preference in placement? And, finally, what criteria may be applied to determine professional advancement, Adequate evaluation of the type mentioned would help us to the answers of these questions.

Health At The Preschool Ages, Hubert Stanley Coffey May 1941

Health At The Preschool Ages, Hubert Stanley Coffey

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

The preschool child is the forgotten child of our health programs. When the community undertakes a health program of a preventive kind such as vaccination or health examination, too frequently it is limited to those children attending the public schools. Here the children are assembled and it is easier to carry out any specific health measure. The public health nurse or official may more easily identify diseases among these children. Because of their close association, epidemics among children are thought more dangerous and are more easily coped with. But such measures are just as urgently needed with the preschool child.

Your School From First-Hand Observation, Hubert Stanley Coffey Apr 1941

Your School From First-Hand Observation, Hubert Stanley Coffey

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

What is the burden of this article is that it is the responsiblljty of the local community to know what ITS school is doing. Furthermore, when parents become alarmed because of some sensational controversy, or a series of critical articles, such excitement is a confession, perhaps unconscious, of the appalling ignorance which parents have of their own school system. It is as if they were saying, "if the schools are doing the terrible things which the magazines say they are doing, we had better wake up and change our school." The only respectable situation is for the parent to know …

When Classroom Becomes Cafeteria, Ernest L. Muzzall

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

The Toppenish Junior-Senior High School has shown more than a 40 per cent increase in enrollment during the last six years, making necessary extensive alterations and additions to the main plant. Recently the school population reached a point where a minimum of two additional classrooms was necessary. A survey of school activities revealed a pressing need for space for five purposes. These included quarters for related art instruction in the vocational home economics department; a cafeteria to serve a maximum of 208 pupils; recreational space for group and class parties; a place for pupil-parent and for faculty meetings, and facilities …

Power Politics In The Baltic, Harold E. Barto, Reginald M. Shaw Jan 1940

Power Politics In The Baltic, Harold E. Barto, Reginald M. Shaw

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

A year ago the attention of the world was focused upon central Europe. Then for a brief moment Poland flashed, and today the Baltic Sea region is in the spotlight. After a lapse of some two centuries, this sudden re-appearance of the Baltic to assume a major role in European affairs calls for comment. Touching upon these Baltic waters are six small democracies (Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Esthonia, Liatvia, Lithuania) and two powerful totalitarian states ( Germany and Russia.) In view of recent and current developments, two questions arise : ( 1) will one or both of the totalitarian states control …

Backgrounds Of German-Polish Relations, Harold E. Barto Nov 1939

Backgrounds Of German-Polish Relations, Harold E. Barto

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

Poland's leading role in Europe's most recent crisis which has developed into the Second World War has given new emphasis to her position in world affairs. Due perhaps to the varied course of events that have attended Polish destinies for her 1000 years of history, press dispatches relative to her past are sometimes wholly inadequate and not infrequently confusing. It is with the hope of giving the average reader a fuller background of Polish affairs that this article has been written. The writer has endeavored to deal with the events briefly and as objectively as is humanly possible.

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

Three objections arc frequently made to the installation of moving-picture equipment in schools by teachers and school administrators. The first objection is that good materials are not available when needed. Secondly, teachers are not trained to use them. Thirdly, they are too expensive. The Central Washington College of Education at Ellensburg has recently established a library of 16-mm. sound films. These films, consisting of seventy-six titles, are being circulated among twelve school systems of the state on a subscription basis.

Institutional Teacher Placement, Emil E. Samuelson

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

In the spring of 1938 the placement office of the Central Washington College of Education submitted a questionnaire to school superintendents in ninety communities in the state of Washington and asked their cooperation in filling it out. The purposes of the questionnaire were three : ( 1) to secure the reactions of school superintendents to placement practices and procedures now in vogue ; ( 2) to discover local conditions, individual preferences, community prejudices etc. which have a direct bearing on teacher placement; ( 3) to secure frank criticisms of placement service rendered and suggestions on the improvement of training-institution functions.

Pupil Interest In The Core Curriculum, Robert E. Mcconnell

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

What does a young American do? How does he spend his time? What is he compelled to do as a young citizen? How should he spend his time? How do his parents spend their time? The proper answering of these questions on the part of the school forms the core curriculum. Time was (and is yet, for that matter) when adult teachers decided what the child should learn and then attempted to force him into learning it. They paid little attention to the circumstances of the moment and oftentimes little attention to reality. Too little attention was given to the …

The Fundamentals Of Speech Course In The Teacher Training School, Russell W. Lembke Feb 1938

The Fundamentals Of Speech Course In The Teacher Training School, Russell W. Lembke

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

The hope for good speech lies in beginning with the kindergarten, and extending on through the other elementary levels. An integrated course of study has been worked out in this state by the Washington Speech Association with that goal in mind. The task of the teacher training school is to prepare all teachers for their part in that program, no matter in what grade, or subject, or activity they may be interested. Every teacher is a teacher of speech and should be so prepared. How can the fundamentals of speech course in the teacher training school supply that preparation in …
