The University And The Rage Of The Middle Class (Text Only), Paul Bushnell

Honorees for Teaching Excellence

When I speak of the rage of the middle class I do not mean to imply that it is the exclusive possession of the middle class and certainly not that it is shared by every middle class person in the United States. But the middle class has a great deal of power as an organizing class in our society - it votes in greater numbers, it expresses its views in public - calls in to talk shows, writes more letters to editors, pressures Congress.

A Comparison Of Personality Type And Learning Style Of Elementary Education Majors, Math Majors, And Math Professors: Cultures In Conflict, Jane Martin '92

Honors Projects

National concern exists regarding the math performance of women and minorities. It is a common concern that the current educational system is not meeting girls' needs. Girls and boys enter school equal in measured ability, but years later, girls have fallen behind their male counterparts in key areas such as higher-level mathematics. A critical step in correcting the inequity is to adequately prepare those responsible for the education of children: the future teachers of America. Educational excellence in America's schools is dependent on educational equity.

Teachers' Training, Knowledge, And Attitudes Towards Mainstreaming Behaviorally Disordered Students In Regular Classrooms, Christine K. Chaille '92

Honors Projects

Public Law 94-142 requires that special education students be placed in "the least restrictive school environment" possible and that teachers who work with special needs students in regular classrooms receive training and help from special educators. According to Vandivier & Vandivier (1981), teachers have reservations about including children with "particular types" of disabilities in regular classes, and Mooney & Algozzine (1978) reported that teachers consider "socially defiant" behaviors to be more disturbing than those associated with learning disabilities. This study was designed to determine the relationship between experienced classroom teachers' willingness to accept behaviorally disordered (BD) students in regular classrooms …
