In Defense Of The Public Schools, Emil E. Samuelson May 1945

In Defense Of The Public Schools, Emil E. Samuelson

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

It is apparent that American public education is under attack. Furthermore, there is plenty of evidence that this attack is mounting, for criticism of educational practices seems to be steadily increasing. It would be well to recognize this trend and to analyze the criticisms carefully. For it isn't likely that these criticisms can be entirely dismissed as an inevitable part of "war hysteria" even though the world war has undoubtedly provided a favorable climate for criticism of public education.


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 …

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.

Not Methods But Results, Sue M. Hoffman

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

Inspiration, perspiration, and ventilation form a triumvirate by which all school situations can be met and conquered by the teacher of average ability, and the method will take care of itself, because out of the three a method will evolve which will fit the particular situation.

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.


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 …

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.

Book Selection For A Teachers College Library, Robert E. Mcconnell Oct 1935

Book Selection For A Teachers College Library, Robert E. Mcconnell

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

The selection of books and the distribution of library funds are considerations which call for the continuous attention of the college administrator. This is especially so in the case of teachers colleges because they are of recent development and are limited as to funds. Both time and money are essential to the building up of a library of quality and quantity. As compared with the well established liberal arts college, teachers colleges are at a disadvantage in that the former existed fifty years before the latter.


Qualities Of Leadership Essential To The Presidency Of A Teachers College, Robert E. Mcconnell Nov 1934

Qualities Of Leadership Essential To The Presidency Of A Teachers College, Robert E. Mcconnell

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

The president of the modern American teachers college is charged with the ultimate responsibility for the outcome of all of the activities of the institution over which he has jurisdiction. The selection of a president is the greatest single duty of the board of trustees. To him they look for the successful carrying out of all policies and for the conception and formulation of a great majority of them. To him they look for most of the leadership in their deliberations as well as for the subsequent execution of institutional affairs. He is the pivot around which revolve the activities …

Education And The World Situation, Selden Smyser

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

The world situation of this last year, continued depression with its termination more than ever in the indefinite future, together with the threat of an outbreak of war which existed for a time, is the most direct challenge our system of education has ever had.

Gerard Swope, president of the General Electric Company, has proposed a plan for industry. The American Federation of Labor and the United States Chamber of Commerce each present plans to stabilize business and employment. Why are educators contributing …
