Download or read book Teaching in America written by Frederick C. Gruber and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the First Schoolmen's Week was held in 1914 at the University of Pennsylvania, it achieved the status of a teachers' institute offering more than a hundred programs and attracting a total annual attendance of more than twenty thousand people. In 1916 the first Proceedings of Schoolmen's Week were published and these have continued to be published each year without interruption, making available to members of the teaching profession and to the general public many notable statements regarding the art, science, and craft of education. This volume, edited by Frederick C. Gruber, represents a sampling of the papers delivered at the Forty-third Schoolmen's Week held in April, 1956. The subjects of these papers cover not only the general problems faced by our teachers and schools in a turbulent world atmosphere but specific matters relating to elementary and secondary education as well as to school administration. From Helen C. Bailey's opening article, through Pearl Buck's moving discussion "In Search of Teachers"—in which she describes teaching as "the supreme task of creation"—and on through each of the succeeding twenty-four papers by leading educators, the reader of this volume is given an incisive and invaluable view of some of the key problems and important achievements of the teaching profession in America.

As you learn about the key factors for programming for this group of clients, you will also learn about: the demographics of this population leisure education training and cross-training with aging specialists and mental retardation staff community integration and for whom it is appropriate inactivity in later life and the complications it causes life satisfaction and leisure participation differences in physical and cognitive functioning among this population consumer satisfaction among older adults with developmental disabilities It is never too late to introduce leisure activities into the lives of those with developmental disabilities. With encouragement and careful guidance, you can lead your elders/clients into a more active and healthy life.

Download or read book Ameliorating Mental Disability written by Alfred A. Baumeister and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book grows out of the optimistic view that mental retardation can be treated. It views mental retardation primarily as a behavioral problem. A child is diagnosed as retarded primarily because he behaves in certain maladaptive ways, not simply because he may have a chromosomal anomaly. The contributors view any intervention intended to produce adaptive changes in the behavior of the retarded as "treatment." The authors come from the fields of medicine, special education, and speech and hearing, as well as from psychology. The book is intended to help students and workers in the field apply research findings and theoretical formulations in their appraisal and treatment of mental retardation. The primary emphasis of the book is empirical. While many of the author's suggestions have not been subjected to rigorous experimental scrutiny, almost all have been derived from close examination of the research literature. A wide diversity of topics are included in this volume. Criteria employed were the relevance of the topic to the understanding and modifi cation of defective behavior; and the subject's popularity or neglect in other sources. Ameliorating Mental Disability will be of interest to medical officers in institutions for the mentally challenged, lecturers giving courses for teachers of the educationally subnormal, and to psychologists, social workers, and teachers.
