Book Description
A number of conditions are responsible for the disparity between the widely held educational ideal and the disturbing fact that even today about 30 percent of the youth do not even begin high school and 30 percent more do not complete the work begun. Foremost among the deterrents to high-school attendance are: The need or the desire to help earn income; lack of funds, clothing, or similar problems of the pupils; inaccessibility of suitable schools and courses of instruction; and finally, failure of too many schools or teachers to provide high-school instruction having sufficient meaning, value, and appeal to the pupils and their parents to overcome deterrents to high-school attendance. It has been abundantly demonstrated that almost any apparent block to high-school attendance can be overcome where there is an all-impelling interest in doing so. The last-named factor, therefore, entails all of the others. It is this factor--namely, the development, try-out, and spread of programs of instruction which will have greater, value, meaning, and appeal to more of the youth of high-school age--which is the major concern of this report and the regional and national conferences to which it relates. This report consists of three major parts: Part I explains the purposes and proposed activities of the recently appointed Commission on Life Adjustment Education for Youth; part II describes the origin, composition, and recommendations for the National Conference on "Life Adjustment Education" (Prosser Resolution authored by Charles A. Prosser) held in Chicago, May 8-10, 1947, preceding the appointment of the commission; and part III presents "Common Understandings for a Program of Action." The purpose of parts I and II is to provide information on the steps thus far taken as a result of the Prosser Resolution (quoted in full early in part II); part III represents an effort to show illustratively what the resolution means in terms of problems and changes to be faced by American secondary education. Three appendixes present: (1) An Emphasis Upon Reality; (2) The Role of Practical Arts Education; and (3) Educational Leaders Attending the National Conference. (Contains 81 footnotes.) [Prepared in the Division of Secondary Education and the Division of Vocational Education. The following staff members were responsible for formulating this final report: J. Dan Hull, Walter H. Gaumnitz, and Grace S. Wright. Best copy available has been provided.].

Vitalizing Secondary Education. Report of the First Commission on Life Adjustment Education for Youth. Bulletin, 1951
Author: Howard R. Anderson
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
"Vitalizing Secondary Education" is a report of the first Commission on Life Adjustment Education for Youth prepared in accordance with the recommendations of the 1947 National Conference in Chicago. It is a summary of some of the Commission's activities in democratizing American secondary education through efforts designed to retain in school all youth of high-school age and to provide appropriate educational programs for them. Because the Commission's work represents but one of many such efforts, the first chapter presents the historical setting for life adjustment education. A tentative edition of this report was prepared for discussion and criticism by 184 representatives of 41 States and the District of Columbia at a conference in Chicago in October 1950. This publication is a revised edition of that report. The Commission believes that its activities have been timely, and that life adjustment education is a manifestation of the growing interest in education through real life situations. It is hoped that this publication will serve that interest. The bulletin is presented in five chapters, as follows: (1) Linking Life Adjustment Education with Developments and Problems of Secondary Education, 1890-1945; (2) Activities of the National Commission on Life Adjustment Education for Youth; (3) State Programs of Life Adjustment Education; (4) Some Highlights in Local School Programs; and (5) The Challenge in the Look Ahead. Appended are documents indicating the: (1) State departments of education and/or committees submitting materials related to life adjustment education activities; and (2) Schools submitting materials related. (Contains 3 tables and 31 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.].

The Once and Future School
Author: Jurgen Herbst
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135964335
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
Jurgen Herbst traces the debates, discussions, pronouncements and reports through which Americans have sought to clarify their conceptions of the goals and purposes of education beyond the common school. The Once and Future School argues that to make sense of the current trials of secondary educational system and to maintain any sense of direction and vision for its future, we need a clear understanding of its path in the past and of its setting in a multi-national world. From their beginnings in colonial America to the present day, Jurgen Herbst traces the debates, discussions, pronouncements and reports through which Americans have sought to hammer out and clarify their conceptions of the goals and purposes of education beyond the common school.
