Described in detail in this report are the processes and procedures involved in the development of a State funded curriculum and program for a new emerging technology, in this instance a Coal Mining Technology Program, to be taught at Wabash Valley College in Illinois. The document provides a step-by-step account of the determination of need,…

This course is designed to teach basic Russian terminology and structure which will allow the student, with the help of a good dictionary, to translate scientific material. Before taking the course, the student should control the Russian sound system and should be thoroughly familiar with the Cyrillic alphabet. This curriculum guide includes a…

This paper argues for an educational orientation to American studies in high school that contributes toward individual growth and a sense of compassion toward humanity. According to the author, conventional schooling is a process of training youth to fit into out society by internalizing the accepted behavior and attitudinal norms. The student…

This individualized course guide for students of secondary social studies education consists primarily of modules of which some must be mastered or attempted and some are optional. Also included are prerequisites for the course and a number of experiences which are designed to develop insight into the teaching role. This is the last of three…

Developed to assist all South Carolina school personnel responsible for planning, implementing, or supervising a middle school to achieve goals and objectives compatible with State Board of Education policies and standards, this guide is designed to be adapted to local needs. State standards for minimum programs related to middle schools are…
