Dots Explode In HawaiʻI, Veny Liu, Laurie James
Dots Explode In HawaiʻI, Veny Liu, Laurie James
Journal of Math Circles
Teachers are wonderful advocates of mathematics for future generations, and they are continually looking for ways to get students more engaged in mathematics. Through visuals and hands-on activities, the Exploding Dots concept can help teachers and students understand many elementary arithmetic and algebra topics. The implemented tasks promote problem-solving by allowing multiple entry points and varied solution strategies. This paper explored this idea beyond drawing clusters of dots by Locking Legos activity. With a thorough understanding of math content, participants in multiple Math Teachers’ Circle of Hawai‘i (MaTCH) meetings expressed confidence in creating and developing meaningful and relevant differentiated learning …

Flexible Reading Groups For Literacy In A First Grade Classroom, Sharon Ann Parker
All Graduate Projects
The professional literature on the configuration of flexible reading groups for reading instrnction in a regular first grade classroom was examined to determine if flexible grouping yields any benefit to students who have been assessed to be below grade level in reading. The research showed support for the idea that flexible, fluid grouping is an accelerant to producing higher levels of reading improvement. As a result, an instructional handbook was created to aid educators in the implementation of flexible reading group instruction.

Job Sharing Among Elementary School Teachers, Denise Ione Walsh
All Graduate Projects
The practice of job sharing, in which two teachers share the responsibilities of one teacher, is described. A comprehensive review of related literature is presented.

Standards Of Elementary School Service, Robert E. Mcconnell
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.

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 …
