Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from School Organization and the Individual Child Within the past few years we have been coming to measure education by a new standard, the standard of individual achievement. This means that we have begun to differentiate the abilities of children, and to estimate the success of school work, not in terms of a general standard, but in terms of what each individual is able to do within the range of his own ability. This new standard has made necessary a modification of school organization, and there now appear schools for gifted children, for ordinary children, for slow and backward children, and for mentally defective children, and within these groups there are various forms of procedure for meeting more efficiently the needs of the members of each group. The present volume undertakes the task of presenting in a somewhat detailed manner the various plans that have been evolved to make school organization fit the needs of the boys and girls both normal and abnormal that are enrolled as pupils in the public schools. The part of the book dealing with plans of classification and adaptation brings together information from many different sources, information that every school executive must have to make his work intelligently efficient. In interpreting such a large mass of material, doubtless, mistakes have been made; the writer hopes that they are not such as to interfere with the general usefulness of the book.

This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plans for Organizing School Surveys Education is no longer the simple process that it once was. From haphazard imitation a progressive step was made long ago toward con scious effort to teach in a systematic way. Ultimately this tendency crystallized among the favored classes into the practice of having a single individual teach a single child one subject at a time. From the demand that a single child be taught a single subject by a single indi vidual we have progressed to the point where children in large groups must be taught, not simmy a single subject, but the three R's, and not simply the three R's, but many additional subjects also. Modern edu cation, too, is no longer limited to the intellectual field, but extends into the physical and the moral as well. Besides all this, the present-day school system is called upon to educate, not simply the children of from six to fourteen years of age, as formerly, but kindergarten children, youths, and adults, also. Moreover, these kindergarten children, youths, and adults are to be trained, not simply that they may make a better living for themselves and that they may also serve in the mainte nance of the best that has been experienced thus far by the race, but, further, that they may make actual contributions to the knowledge that the race already possesses. Swith this increase in the scope of the things to be taught, in the variety of individuals to be taught, and in the pur poses behind the teaching, the element of complexity has developed to such an extent that thorough organization has become essential. Devices are needed to aid the mind in grasping the situation, and in focusing the attention of educators on individual parts of the school system while they at the same time carry in mind the idea of the whole.

This book was released on 2016-12-18 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hand Book of the Detroit Junior High Schools: 1916-1917 This is for most pupils the beginning of adolescence. It is the time of readjustment. New visions, new as pirations and hopes spring into existence at this time in the child's development. Life broadens. Individual ity asserts itself and conscious reasoning looms large on the mental horizon. Everywhere there is change. So in school there is need of a shift from the ordinary methods of procedure of the elementary school if the varying needs are to be met adequately. The function of the junior high school is to meet this new situation and to give the pupil a maximum amount of knowledge and training in a minimum of time. The school organization is adapted to fit the varying needs of the pupils by offering differentiated courses. Unnecessary reviews are eliminated. The work is new, - there is no rehash of work already gone over. It is vital because it is what the pupil wishes to do or is able to master. Given varied interests, abilities, and needs, there must be provided different types of work, and this work must be related to and interwoven with real life activities.

Download or read book Democracy and Education written by John Dewey and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1916 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Parent-Teacher Association: A Handbook for North Carolina There are about one hundred parent - teacher associations in North Carolina. Should there not be an association for every school and as many members as there are parents, teachers and school patrons? A parent-teacher Association in every school and every parent and teacher a member is a good slogan for the year. The state association will scarcely be satisfied until this goal is approximated. What then are the next steps? Should each community wait until a group of parents realize that there are certain outside needs in the school for the proper development of their own children? And that these needs cannot be met except by means of the combined efforts of the community of parents and teachers working together? Or should all parents and teachers, assuming a greater need for all the children of the community, begin such an organization without awaiting some emergency or personal gain?

Download or read book Adjustment of School Organization to Various Population Groups Classic Reprint written by Robert Alexander Fyfe McDonald and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Adjustment of School Organization to Various Population Groups Thus at the very beginning Of American life, stress was laid upon the conception of schools open to all on terms Oppressive to none. The religious theories of Puritanism were largely responsible for initiating this doctrine of educational Opportunity and need into American thought;l it remained for the political theories of the Revolutionary and post-revolutionary periods to vitalize and extend the conception of popular education. The expressions of the great national leaders of this era will indicate the views widely held in American society at the begin ning of the nineteenth century. George Washington always cherished a deep interest in the matter of education. He says: Knowledge is in every country the surest basis of public happiness. In one in which the meas ures of government receive their impressions so immediately from the sense Of the community as in ours, it is proportionally essential. Promote, then, as an Object Of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion Of knowledge. In propor tion as the structure of the government gives force to public Opinion, it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened. (c: 7 - 8) John Adams, the second president, speaking Of American schools, said: All the children of the inhabitants, the rich as well as the poor, have a right to go to these public schools. He again affirmed his belief when he said that The whole people must take upon themselves the education of the whole people and must be willing to bear the expense of it. There should not be a district of one mile square without a school in it, not founded by a charitable individual, but maintained at the expense of the people themselves.

Download or read book The Use of Mental Tests in School Administration Vol 4 Classic Reprint written by Virgil E. Dickson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Use of Mental Tests in School Administration, Vol. 4 Within the last two or three decades the public school system has gradually grown more and more complex. Not only have studies and curricula increased in number, but school organization has become highly differentiated and the means of ministering to the needs of individual children have been greatly multiplied. Indeed, a modern school system is as marvelous an expression of complexity in education as the modern city is an expression of complexity of social life. An accompaniment of greater complexity has been increased school costs. The greater costs are in part a result of the more varied features combined in the modern complex system. Increased costs are partly due, of course, to the gradually changing economic situation and to the higher standards of living which have been established. The need for careful study of any enterprise or institution increases as complexity becomes greater and as costs multiply. Public schools have shown themselves responsive to this need. Within the last two decades as a result of the initial efforts of Rice, Thorndike, Strayer, and others, scientific procedures applicable to analyzing and measuring the efficiency of school procedures and the costs of the same have been developed. By this time rather satisfactory standards have been established for judging the efficiency of a school plant, the organization of a school system, the ability of children in the various subjects from grade to grade, the costs which are reasonable for various types of school work, and so on. Just as a well established business enterprise no longer relies upon rule of thumb methods nor trial and error processes, so no school system which is economically and efficiently operated may rely upon such methods. In keeping with the foregoing considerations, the Board of Education of the Berkely Public Schools established a Bureau of Research and Guidance at the opening of the school year 1919. This bureau is responsible for conducting a continuous survey of the most pressing educational and financial problems connected with the operation of the system. This monograph is the first printed report of the results of the work of this bureau. No effort has been made to compile a complete report of all of the efforts and activities of the Bureau of Research and Guidance. Sufficient results have been achieved, however, and sufficient services been rendered to call forth the brief report made herein. The first chapter concerns itself with a brief summary of some of the major types of work in the Berkeley Public Schools carried on by the bureau. The later chapters set forth in a scientific impersonal way the relation of measurement to efficiency in the classification and teaching of children. Both of these are central problems of large concern in the administration of schools. Hundreds of children in the schools of Berkeley have profited during the last three years in both happiness and growth as a result of the more scientific handling of them through the work of this bureau.
