A course in introductory Greek was introduced as part of a freshman seminar program at William Patterson College of New Jersey. The course was distinctive in that the instructor undertook to learn the subject along with the students. The goal of the course was that the students would learn something about Greek, about language in general and about…

THE BASIC AIM OF THIS 1966-67 PROJECT WAS TO ENRICH AS WELL AS EDUCATE THOSE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA STUDENTS WHO WILL BE THE MATURE MUSIC AUDIENCES OF THE FUTURE. A SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED OF SUITABLY ARRANGED ORCHESTRA LITERATURE WITHIN THE GRASP OF JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA STUDENTS, AND 64 CORE SELECTIONS WERE MADE. THE MUSIC WAS…

A FLEXIBLE PROGRAM INITIATED AT CENTRAL JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL TO DEAL WITH THE ACADEMIC AND HUMAN DETERIORATION OF STUDENTS IS DESCRIBED. A COMPARISON OF THE INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM STUDENTS WITH A MATCHED CONTROL GROUP FROM REGULAR CASES REVEALED THAT THE "CONTROLS" DID NOT IMPROVE AND, IN FACT, OFTEN SHOWED FURTHER DETERIORATION,…

IN FALL 1963, ALL FRESHMEN ENTERING THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA GENERAL COLLEGE TOOK THE DIAGNOSTIC READING TEST, AND FROM THEM A 110-STUDENT EXPERIMENTAL GROUP AND A SIMILAR CONTROL GROUP WERE RANDOMLY SELECTED. THE EXPERIMENTAL GROUP STUDENTS WERE ASKED TO ENROLL IN A 1-UNIT EDUCATIONAL SKILLS COURSE, WHICH 67 COMPLETED. READING PRETEST SCORES…

An experimental course in introductory psychology at Georgetown University utilizes principles of operant reinforcement to modify verbal behavior in the classroom situation. The major facet of the program is a student-student interview. Interviews are scheduled after each student reads a portion of the assigned text. One student, the listener,…

In an effort to foster more positive attitudes toward black people in 5-year-old white children, a career education curriculum was designed to give children positive experiences with black adults.

The sixteen chapters of this book provide the core material for the Elements of Mathematics Program, a secondary sequence developed for highly motivated students with strong verbal abilities. The sequence is based on a functional-relational approach to mathematics teaching, and emphasizes teaching by analysis of real-life situations. This text is…

One of 12 books developed for use with the core material (Book O) of the Elements of Mathematics Program, this text covers material well beyond the scope of the usual secondary mathematics sequences. These materials are designed for highly motivated students with strong verbal abilities; mathematical theories and ideas are developed through…
