Book Agencies of Supervision  Classic Reprint

Download or read book Agencies of Supervision Classic Reprint written by Maybell G. Bush and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-01-03 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Agencies of Supervision General school supervision is an art in which few people are proficient. The supervisor should be well-equipped with tech nical knowledge and should possess numerous kinds of skill, skill in reading; skill in drawing; skill in music; skill in actual teaching; skill in analyzing a situation; skill in dealing with children; skill in dealing with teachers, and so on through a long list. A good teacher does not necessarily make a good supervisor. There are many qualities required in a supervisor that are not so essential for the classroom teacher. To be eminently success ful, the supervisor must possess a deeper insight into the prob lems involved in education than do those he is called upon to supervise. The supervisor should dominate not by reason of the authority given him but by reason of 'the fact that he has a larger and richer personality and is possessed of an unusually whole some and sympathetic attitude toward the children, the teachers, and the public.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from County-Agent Supervision I have just completed a study of county - agent supervision in the 13 Central States covering the report year of 1925. This involved going over the monthly or trip reports with each of 35 supervisors.

The work of the 41 supervisors averaged 295 days each, of which 149 days were spent in the office handling correspondence, reviewing and summarizing reports, preparing plans and material for the use of agents. One hundred and forty - four days were spent in field supervision. The average travel expense per supervisor for the year was and the average salary per year.

Book Shall We Have School Supervision in the Rural Districts   Classic Reprint

Download or read book Shall We Have School Supervision in the Rural Districts Classic Reprint written by A. S. Draper and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-14 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shall We Have School Supervision in the Rural Districts? He must quicken pupils as well as teachers, and to do this he must be a clean, attractive, and forceful character, who appeals to the buoyancy and ambition of youth. He must be a worker. He must be an intelligent friend of true sport. He must be a scholar; he must know the literature of the schools; he must be specially proficient in educational history, and pedagogical theory and method; and he must keep up with progress in the organization and work of schools in other districts, in other states, and in other countries. He must have a share in educational meetings in the State and nation to the end that he may possibly contribute to their potential strength, and certainly to the end that he may get from them the aids which will help him to do the most for his own schools. Withal, he must be a sane and balanced character, who is familiar with affairs, who is neither an eccentric nor a bombast, who can move among the people on at least equal terms, to whom teachers may be naturally disposed to look for guidance, and to whose judgment and influence parents may be glad to submit the future of their children. One can not be all this, nor any appreciable part of it, unless he is a balanced character and is a student of it; nor unless he has had experience at it. He must have judgment and discrimination. He must be able to resist, as well as to do. He can not fill this place and divide his time and thought with any other business. He can have no other interest which will take his time, or his thought, or which will warp his judgment, for the place demands all the thought, and all the force, of an all-around man or woman who has become an expert in the organization and administration of schools. What such an one can do for the schools can not be fully described; indeed, it can hardly be appreciated by one not familiar with the complex educational activities of the country. But that is what we mean by school supervision. No such supervision in the farming districts Such supervision has developed very rapidly in the cities of the State in the last forty or fifty years. It is this that has made for the quite uniform excellence of the city schools. It is this, at least, that has made the schools notably good in the cities where the best superintendents have been long continued.

Book Studies in Rural Supervision

Download or read book Studies in Rural Supervision written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Rural Supervision: Miscellaneous Pamphlets It is no longer true that the majority of the parents are interested in the public schools, and eager and ambitious for their advancement. Statistics show clearly that children are not regular in their voluntary attendance, and are not absorbed in their student work. And the testimony of all persons who are familiar with the facts is practically unanimous upon the point that we have many teachers who are conspicuously unfit, intellectually, scholastically and professionally for the service they attempt to perform. Since all these things are true, and are known to be true by those who have given this matter careful attention, it is for the interest of everybody that the truth be told. The schools of Maine are of such quality that the people can afford to know all the facts concerning them. The old red schoolhouse of the Pine Tree State has furnished opportunities for the training of so large a number of men and women who have occupied distinguished positions in this and other states as to amply vindicate its influence, power and usefulness. The number of persons who are natives of this State and who have served with distinction as cabinet officers, members of congress, governors of other states, etc., is so large that no one should be sensitive about any criticisms which may be made upon our public schools. When we add to this notable list the multitude who have gone forth from their Maine homes to make for themselves honorable places in the professional, industrial, scientific and literary world, we are certainly justified in feeling proud of the institution which has prepared these people for their work and contributed so largely to their success. It is known to but few how large a concourse of persons have gone from this State and stand to-day in the front ranks of the progressive men and women of the different communities in which they have found their fields of labor. The large majority of these people received the best, and in many instances the most of their training in the common schools. The old academy, seminary and the colleges of Maine have done a work unparalleled in fitting those who came under their instruction for positions of distinguished usefulness. They have done this work so well that it is natural for many to regret that, with only a few conspicuous exceptions, the academy and seminary have passed out of existence; but they rejoice that the colleges remain, developed by years and strengthened by larger endowments and better equipments. People who are conscious of their weakness are peculiarly sensitive to an exposure of their frailties. People who are conscious of their strength welcome any revelation which helps them to a better knowledge of themselves and better means of development. Believing that the people of Maine are capable of establishing, maintaining and intelligently using the best schools of the age, an effort has been made to place before them, verbally and graphically the condition of the schools of the State. These studies have not been undertaken for the purpose of proving any theories, gratifying any personal ambitions, or placing the State before the country in an unenviable light.

Book State Supervisory Programs for the Education of Exceptional Children  Classic Reprint

Download or read book State Supervisory Programs for the Education of Exceptional Children Classic Reprint written by Elise H. Martens and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-04 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from State Supervisory Programs for the Education of Exceptional Children The topics considered in the series include problems of administra tive organization and relationships, financial control and assistance, legislative and regulatory standards, and various types of supervisory services. Each has been studied from the point of View of past develop ments and of organization existing at the time of the visit to the State. For some fields of activity a state-by-state description is given of policies, problems, and practices. For some, selected States are used as examples, with a summary of significant developments and trends in all States. The total series, it is hoped, will prove to be a helpful group of publications relating to the organization and functions of State education departments and of the boards of education to which they are related. The report included in the present monograph deals with one of the more recent developments in State educational administration and supervision - namely, that related to the education of exceptional children. Initiated by the State through residential institutions and by local school districts to meet local needs, programs of special education for the handicapped and the gifted have steadily gained ground as essential to the complete functioning of the State's educa tional system. As a result, one State after another is encouraging a bureau or a division or a section in its State education department designed particularly to look after the educational interests of those who need Special adjustments because of a marked deviation from normal physical, mental, or emotional condition. To describe the organization and supervisory functions and activities of such programs is the aim of this bulletin. To the chief State school officers, to members of their respective staffs, and to other State officials who have assisted in furnishing data for this series of monographs, the United States Office of Education expresses its deepest appreciation. Without their wholehearted cooperation the publication of the series could not have been realized. The entire project is an example of coordinated action, both on the part of Office of Education staff members who have participated in it and on the part of State officials who gave so generously of their time and effort to supply the needed information and materials.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Functions and Activities of Supervisors of County Extension Agents During the early years of extension, the State leaders and assistantleaders devoted their efforts largely to arousing interest on the part of the people of a county in employing an extension _agent, organizing the county for that purpose, financing the agent and helping him.to become established in the county. With most of the preliminary organization of count ies to employ 'agents completed, the State leaders of county agents are gradually beginning tocievote more attention to those supervisory functions which are m'ore closely related to' the improvement of extension teaching. Maintenance of the county extension agent staff still occupies the major part of the time of supervisors lin many States and is an important function of supervisors i'n nearly all States.

'after years of careful thinking and perusal of the literature, the author develops a theoretical framework from which hypotheses are derived. He then develops operational definitions of his theoretical constructs and designs a study to test his hypotheses. I say that reports are written in that fashion, but I suspect that often they are not actually produced in quite so orderly a manner. Such is the case with the report I am about to present to you.

Book The Meaning of State Supervision in the Social Protection of Children  Classic Reprint

Download or read book The Meaning of State Supervision in the Social Protection of Children Classic Reprint written by Kathryn Hand Welch and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Meaning of State Supervision in the Social Protection of Children This brief pamphlet on State supervision does not attempt to present a comprehensive discussion of the problems involved in a supervisory program but rather calls attention to some of the basic principles involved in the supervisory process. It was written in response to numerous requests for material on State supervision which the Children's Bureau has received during the last few years, when supervisory services in the various States have been in the process of development and expansion. It is based on visits made to 10 States - Alabama, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Minnesota, New J ersey, N orth Carolina, and Wisconsin. These States were selected because they represented a wide geographical area, different types of legislative authority, and difference in the extent of time during which the program had been in operation. No effort has been made to describe the program in any one of these States, but the experience of all has been used. From the outset it is recognized that it is not possible to suggest any one way in which to develop a supervisory program that will be applicable and useful to all the States. It is clear, however, that there are philosophies, policies, and general procedures which are basic to an effective program of supervision in any State. The primary objective of State supervision is to furnish helpful services to agencies by making available information on progressive methods of child care and by offering consultation on various aspects of agency programs. Not only should the State welfare department be helpful in matters pertaining to the operation of an agency but it should also further constructive programs on such problems as adoption, the unmarried mother and her child, the physically or mentally handicapped child, and the child with serious behavior problems. The State department should likewise be in a position to give advisory services on community planning by assisting in devel Oping new services or modifying old programs to meet changing needs.
