Book Description
This thesis will deal with the historical and educational aspects of the Kansas Music Competition-Festival and will discuss present inadequacies and suggested reforms. The Music Competition-Festival in Kansas has undergone many changes since its inception at Emporia in 1938. These changes have been brought about mostly for expediency in the operation of the festival and for the purpose of conforming with the regulations of the Activities Association. Many of the possibilities of the Competition-Festival as an educational event have been overlooked in order for it to function as a democratic process and still keep a comparatively proper place in our school schedules in regard to time and expenses. Other states that contributed information for this thesis are faced with similar problems although some of them do have regulations better than those in the Kansas Festival. Many of them include sight-reading for some festival entries. The addition of this would help to give the Kansas Festival added educational stature. Throughout the United States the Competition-Festival remains principally a contest even though there is no single winner in any one event. The festival processes are conducted, if at all, at local and county level. The survey portion of this thesis was sent to a total of 291 administrators, adjudicators and music directors in the Kansas Festival area. While there were individual differences of opinion on some questions, there was no sharp differentiation among these groups to portend any basic differences of opinion regarding their working approach to the festival. The majority of them admitted the Kansas Festival does not measure well by educational standards. Only one of the reporting states has a separate music division in its State School Activity Association. This adoption by other states would immeasurably aid the Competition-Festival as well as other facets of the public school music program. A development of the program initiated by the National Interscholastic Music Activities Commission to study the music festival regulations of all the states and draw up a national program of recommended regulations would be of great benefit to each state. The music directors of Kansas do not advocate any extreme changes in the festival. It is noteworthy, however, to mention that even though the Kansas State High School Activities Association is adding additional district centers, we find a dual situation of continuous overcrowding on the one hand, and on the other a gradual withdrawal from festival entry, particularly from larger schools. These schools feel that the festival does not offer the advantages to the individual student and to the department that a limited concert tour, for examplex, can provide. The writer of this thesis believes that the Competition-Festival must contain all possible educational qualities if it is to hold successfully its position in a science-stressed curriculum and that this can be achieved in part by holding some of the district events at a local league or county level and thus be able to include a clinical program.

Book Description
Students who use their natural talents achieve the most --- but they need to know what those talents are. StrengthsQuest includes the Clifton StrengthsFinder, an online assessment that reveals students’ top five themes of talent. And StrengthsQuest also helps students make the most of those talents. Students and learners of all ages continually face the challenges of gaining direction, making decisions, and building self-confidence. Fortunately, the keys to successfully meeting these challenges — your own natural talents — already exist within you. Through these talents, you will produce your greatest achievements. Over the course of 30 years, Gallup conducted millions of psychological interviews and identified 34 themes of talent that are indicative of success. In the StrengthsQuest program, Gallup offers you the opportunity to discover talents from your top five themes and build on them to achieve academic, career, and personal excellence. More than 100,000 students have benefited from the program. Your quest starts with the Clifton StrengthsFinder, a 30-minute assessment that reveals your top five themes of talent. This online assessment is your entryway to a variety of experiences that will help you discover your greatest talents and develop strengths. You’ll gain access to action items specific to your top themes, covering general academic life, study habits, relationships, and career. You’ll also be challenged to think about applying your talents for success in other settings, such as on projects and teams and in leadership. StrengthsQuest was written by the late Donald O. Clifton, who was the former chairman of Gallup; coauthor of the bestseller Now, Discover Your Strengths; and recognized as the Father of Strengths-Based Psychology and the late Edward “Chip” Anderson, who taught education, psychology, and leadership at UCLA and Azusa Pacific University. Revised portions of the text were written by Laurie A. Schreiner, who has taught psychology and higher education at Azusa Pacific University and Eastern University.
