We are indebted to each of these people for creating a positive setting. Krepel says, During the conference, we reviewed the past, examined the present and explored the future of educational administration. We had a wide variety of presentation styles, including poster sessions, round tables and workshops. This organization is heavily involved in academic design and delivery and federal and state policy with regard to administration, certification and training. This group has an applied orientation philosophy toward what goes on in the classrooms of America and what can be done to make them better.
Current topics receiving a lot of attention are technology in the classroom and equity.
According to Beach, One of our challenges will be bringing technology into our organization to help assist faculty and administrators integrate the use of technology with their programs across the country. As for equity for school children, we are maintaining our participation on the national policy board to continue forward to that objective. National education leaders Edythe Johnson Holubec, David Imig, Tom Sergiovanni, Lynn St. James, Neil Shipman, William Smith and Scott Thomson all made presentations at the conference. Topics included innovation in curriculum and instruction, cooperative learning, accelerated schools and up dates on relevant technological developments. Holubec was active with David and Robert Johnson in developing cooperative learning and the cooperative learning school.
