This book was released on 1982 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demographic information collected by the Census Bureau can help students understand many aspects about the quality of life in the United States and can be used by junior high and high school teachers as a classroom resource. The first of six chapters discusses the role that the Census Bureau plays in our lives, examining uses of census data. Chapters 2 through 6 contain student activities and discussion questions that use demographic information provided in each chapter. General demographic census data are provided in chapter 2.

Suggested activities include having students prepare reports using the data, analyze the data, listen to someone from the local Chamber of Commerce speak on how population changes affect the community, and interview local businessmen and women to determine changes they have noticed in their consumer population and to ask how they are planning for change.

Book Synopsis Bilingual Education Policy by : Edward R. Beauchamp
Download or read book Bilingual Education Policy written by Edward R. Beauchamp and published by Bloomington, Ind. : Phi Delta Kappa Educational Foundation. This book was released on 1985 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bilingualism and bilingual education in the U.S.S.R., the People's Republic of China, and Canada are discussed as a context for examining American attitudes toward and the establishment of bilingual education programs. Russian and minority languages in the Soviet Union are examined, including the early development of Soviet language policy, language policy under Stalin, and language policy from Krushchev to the present. An exploration of Chinese language policy looks at the situation of Chinese national minorities, language policy in Communist China, and education in the context of the Four Modernizations. Discussion of Canadian language policy focuses on the history of language in that country, the "quiet revolution" in Quebec, and the pedagogical dimensions of bilingual education. Against this background, the following conclusions are stated: (1) the United States attempts at bilingual education have been motivated more by political imperatives than educational reasons; (2) bilingual education is not a new concept, but one that has a long history; and (3) we can learn a great deal about what succeeds and what does not by looking at these and other countries' experiences.

Book Synopsis Concurrent Enrollment Programs by : Arthur Richard Greenberg
Download or read book Concurrent Enrollment Programs written by Arthur Richard Greenberg and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A discussion of concurrent enrollment programs, in which high school students can enroll in college-level courses before graduation and simultaneously receive credit for their diplomas and receive college credit, shows how such programs can address concerns about high school-college articulation and describes several program models in action. Two aspects of articulation are addressed: high school-college curriculum redundancy and the changing demographics of the college population, affecting the appropriateness of many introductory college-level courses. Benefits seen in concurrent enrollment programs include acceleration of progress for students, reduced tuition costs, reassurance for parents concerning their children's ability to handle college-level academic responsibilities, relief of high school senior ennui, productive interaction between high schools and colleges, improved high school faculty status, enhanced high school standing, facilitated student recruitment, grant opportunities, school-college faculty interaction, enhanced college-community relations, and social equity. Programs at Syracuse University (New York), Florida International University, Kingsborough Community College (New York), LaGuardia Community College (New York), Seattle University (Washington), and the Minnesota and Florida statewide programs are described. Suggestions for designing, implementing, and evaluating a concurrent enrollment program are given. 19 references. (MSE)

Book Synopsis Issues and Innovations in Foreign Language Education by : Jacqueline Benevento
Download or read book Issues and Innovations in Foreign Language Education written by Jacqueline Benevento and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies indicate that American students have an inadequate understanding of world affairs, with implications for United States national security, business interests in foreign markets, and education in general, and specific recommendations have been made for the improvement of foreign language instruction. Foreign language education in the 1980s reflects fundamental changes in philosophy and objectives, and leaders in foreign language education agree that the fundamental objective is the ability to use language in meaningful ways. With this shift in approach, changes are necessary in program content, instructional materials, and learning activities. Innovations include elementary school programs emphasizing language use in real-life situations, immersion, exploratory programs, schools of international studies, the international baccalaureate, and instruction beyond the classroom. The global education movement in social studies has been especially relevant for foreign language study, and technological applications in foreign language instruction are being updated to emphasize communication. Another current emphasis is on assessment of language proficiency. Improvement in preservice teacher education, while indicated, has been difficult, but a variety of inservice development options are available, and professional associations are an important source of assistance. A need exists for additional research and promotion of public awareness of foreign language study. (MSE)

Book excerpt: The Bronx Education Endowment Fund (BEEF), established in 1985, provides mini-grants of up to $100 to fund simple projects aimed at educational improvement. During the first two years of the program, 18 mini-grants were awarded to 16 teachers, one student, and one parent organization. A large number of both regular and special education students, from pre-kindergarten to 12th grade, received benefits from the projects. The projects were cost-efficient and encouraged active student participation in the educational process. Many of the programs were characterized by the following: (1) a hands-on approach to learning; (2) the use of outside human resources; (3) culminating activities that served as an evaluative measure; (4) an investigative approach to learning; and (5) a focus on the specific needs of the pupils. BEEF uses a simplified proposal process. Some projects in the following areas are described: (1) the humanities and social sciences; (2) mathematics and science; and (3) special education.

Book Synopsis Changing Behavior by : Frank J. Sparzo
Download or read book Changing Behavior written by Frank J. Sparzo and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This booklet is about changing human behavior in everyday settings in the school and home. The approach to human behavior outlined is called "behavior analysis," which is based on that approach to psychology called the exerimental analysis of behavior. The ABC model of behavior is explained. In this model, the A refers to the "antecedent" that occasions or cues the behavior, B refers to the "behavior" itself, and C refers to a "consequent" event that increases the likelihood of the behavior occurring again. An outline is presented of a general plan for changing behavior. Illustrating how the plan works in practice, behavior analysis principles are applied to three cases: a child who acts aggressively (a behavioral excess), a student said to be unmotivated (a behavioral deficit), and an unruly class (a group management problem).
