Subjects: Educational History,Directories,Film Libraries,Multimedia Materials,Films,Educational Technology,Audiovisual Aids,Foreign Language Films,Documentaries,Instructional Films,College Libraries,School Libraries,Government Libraries,Public Libraries,Special Libraries,Organizations (Groups),Business,Corporations,Educational Resources,National Surveys,Questionnaires

This directory is an encyclopedic compilation and includes all companies, institutions, and organizations which lend or rent 16mm films within the United States--including the 48 States, the District of Columbia, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico--and assented to their being listed in the directory. It includes libraries which handle entertainment films and those which handle instructional films. A query, in the form of a letter-questionnaire, was sent to 4,920 known or possible 16mm film libraries in January and March 1958, of which 3,660 responded that they were, in fact, 16mm film libraries and agreed to their inclusion in the directory. The listing is arranged alphabetically by state, city, and library name. The annotation of each library contains three items of basic information: (1) The number of films (titles) in the library; (2) the nature of these films, namely entertainment, educational, religious, or sponsored; and (3) special restrictions, if any, on the distribution and use of these films, such as geographical limitations or restrictions required by law.

Children with Speech and Hearing Impairment: Preparing to Work with Them in the Schools. Bulletin, 1959, No. 5
Author: Johnson, Wendell
Date: 1959-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Hearing Impairments,Professional Training,Educational Needs,Speech Impairments,Speech Language Pathology,Stuttering,Physical Disabilities,Neurological Impairments,Cerebral Palsy,Brain,Incidence,Definitions,School Role,Educational Research,Special Needs Students

This bulletin is about the inspiring opportunities for rewarding service to be found in meeting the urgent educational needs of children with impaired speech and hearing. If these children are not to carry serious economic and social disadvantages into their adult years, more remedial speech and hearing teachers must be trained to serve them. Moreover, if these teachers are to be prepared as effectively as possible and if their services are to be of greatest value, comprehensive and intensive research must be devoted to children's speech and hearing problems. Finally, if the approximately 1.5 million school-age speech and hearing handicapped children are to be reached with the necessary services, school programs must be more extensive. These are the needs and the opportunities with which this bulletin is concerned. Material is presented in five parts: (1) The problem of impaired speech and hearing; (2) Prevalence and definition of types of impaired speech and hearing; (3) What can be done in the schools for children with impaired speech and hearing; (4) An urgent need: an inspiring opportunity; and (5) the high adventure of research. Appended are professional training resources and sources of additional information. (Contains 8 footnotes and 2 tables.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
Professional Preparation for Teachers of Exceptional Children: An Overview. Bulletin, 1959, No. 6

Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Teacher Competencies,Special Education Teachers,Educational Needs,Teacher Education,Disabilities,Specialization,Teaching Experience,Educational Administration,College Faculty,Curriculum Development,Teaching Methods,School Counseling,Tests,Adults,Multiple Disabilities,Teacher Characteristics,Personality Traits

In the nation there are four or five million children who have educational needs so unusual that they require special help from the schools. Such children include those with physical handicaps, mental retardation, serious social or emotional problems, or giftedness. Progress is being made in providing for these children, but educational provisions are far from adequate. Educational programs are being extended or developed by State and local school systems, but in this expansion, the crucial need is for larger numbers of well-qualified teachers. This publication results from the cooperative efforts of many leading special educations in the Nation, in the hope of forming a basis for guidelines for future improvements. The document describes the scope of the publication, collection of information, participants, and issues from difference points of view, and considers: (1) competencies needed by teachers; (2) opinions on adequacy of professional preparation, including specialized teacher competencies, practical experiences in professional preparation, and administrative considerations in college programs; (3) qualifications of college staff members, such as competencies for college staff members as identified by a committee, the competency committee and its report, and professional preparation and experiences for college staff members; (4) in-service education; and (5) summary and implications. Appended are: (1) The plan and procedures used in the Office of Education Study, "Qualification and Preparation of Teachers of Exceptional Children"; (2) Information about the special educators participating in the study; (3) Statistical procedures and results; and (4) Excerpts from inquiry forms. (Contains 25 footnotes, 8 tables, and 11 graphs.) [Best copy available has been provided.]

Group II contains 212 cities having a population of not less than 30,000 or more than 99,999 and each of which constitutes a school administrative unit. Group III contains 643 cities each having a population of not less that 10,000 or more than 29,999 and each of which constitutes a school administrative unit. Group IV contains 1,944 cities each having a population of not less than 2,500 or more than 9,999 and each constituting a school administrative unit. According to the U.S. Bureau of Census, there were, in 1930, 3,165 cities in the United States each with a population of not less than 2,500. Of these 3,165 cities, each of 2,876 constituted a single school district, and each of 13 others constituted two or more school districts. Data for this report were supplied by the school official in these 2,889 cities. The remaining cities were parts of other school administrative units, such as the county school districts, and hence were not separate city school district organization.

Status of Preparation Programs for Guidance and Student Personnel Workers. Bulletin, 1959, No. 7
Author: MacMinn, Paul
Date: 1959-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Educational History,Guides,School Guidance,Guidance Programs,Pupil Personnel Services,Pupil Personnel Workers,Student Personnel Services,Student Personnel Workers,Trainees,Professional Training,Counselor Training,Program Effectiveness,Higher Education,Institutional Characteristics,Selection Criteria,Admission Criteria,Counselor Educators,Practicums,College Curriculum,College Programs,Required Courses,Enrollment,Graduate Study,National Surveys,Questionnaires,Labor Supply,Labor Needs,Counselor Certification,Counselor Qualifications,Counselor Role,Elementary Secondary Education,Statistical Surveys,Educational Trends,Occupational Information

In September 1947, the National Vocational Guidance Association, through its Division of Professional Training and Certification, appointed a planning committee to work out a manual on the preparation of counselors. Interest in this project spread until seven additional organizations expressed a willingness to cooperate. The results of the study were later published in "Counselor Preparation." All of these activities and subsequent ones have made their contributions. As valuable as they are, however, much still remains to be done. Through surveys, research, evaluation studies, and other means, answers should be found to the following questions: (1) What types of selection and preparation programs are now in existence?; (2) What are the duties and responsibilities of guidance and student personnel workers?; (3) How well do the present programs select and prepare trainees for the duties and responsibilities they will perform or ought to perform later on the job?; and (4) What contributions can and should be made by the various disciplines in the preparation of guidance and student personnel workers? The present study must be regarded as a partial answer to the first question. In no way is it intended as a definitive answer; rather, the data should be looked upon as a base upon which more probing studies can be formulated. This beginning should lead to inquiries which would determine how well guidance and student personnel workers have in fact been prepared for the duties they perform or should perform. The major objectives of this survey were to obtain information concerning: (1) The number of institutions having preparation programs in guidance and student personnel work; (2) Some of the characteristics and the geographical distribution of the training institutions; (3) The type of guidance and student personnel work for which trainees were being prepared and the degrees offered; (4) The trainee selection techniques being employed; and (5) The required curriculum for the preparation of guidance and student personnel workers. In addition, miscellaneous quantitative data were collected to provide some information on the supply and demand of guidance and student personnel workers. A questionnaire form is appended.

Social Science Requirements for Bachelor's Degrees: A Study of Anthropology, Economics, History, Political Science, and Sociology in General Graduation Requirements. Bulletin, 1959, No. 8

Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Graduation Requirements,Higher Education,Educational Assessment,Anthropology,Political Science,Sociology,Department Heads,Social Sciences,Questionnaires,History,Letters (Correspondence),Tables (Data),Statistical Data,Role,Economics,Surveys,Course Selection (Students)

This study is based upon responses to questionnaires sent in December 1956 to chairmen of departments of anthropology, economics, history, political science, and sociology in a sample of 319 institutions of higher education. The survey just completed provides the first data ever assembled on a large scale of social science requirements for bachelor's degrees. It shows the extent to which institutions of higher education have such requirements and the extent to which anthropology, economics, history, political science, and sociology each may be taken by the student in satisfaction of them. It then proceeds to a study in depth of the courses most frequently taken by students for this purpose. The data thus assembled can be used by administrators, department heads, and professors for reappraising the role of the social sciences in general curricular requirements, and for re-examining those courses shown to be the only ones to which a majority of students are likely ever to be exposed. Appended are: (1) Cover letter and questionnaire employed; and (2) Tabular Material. (Contains 11 tables and 18 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
Teacher Education Fifth-Year Programs: A Selected Bibliography. Bulletin, 1959, No. 9
Author: Radcliffe, Shirley
Date: 1959-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Liberal Arts,Teacher Education,Teacher Certification,Teacher Attitudes,Graduate Study,Teaching (Occupation),Teacher Education Programs,Bibliographies

In recent years, fifth-year programs in teacher education have developed rapidly, especially for the graduates of liberal arts colleges who lack the professional requirements for a teaching certificate. Several States now require a fifth year of college work in granting a standard certificate for secondary school training in the academic fields, and two States have this requirement for elementary school teaching. In addition, some colleges and universities have recognized that their graduate programs were not adequately meeting the needs of the classroom teacher and consequently have reorganized their master's programs; others have expanded 4-year programs to included a fifth year. This bibliography has been prepared for members of the teaching profession whose primary concern is teacher education. Reflecting a trend toward a fifth year of teacher preparation, these selected references include exploratory suggestions and opinions, proposals and studies relative to the content and requirements of fifth-year and five-year programs of teacher education, and descriptions of current practices. The references are arranged alphabetically by author and are indexed by subject and author. It is hoped that graduate students of education will also find it useful. An index is included.
