Accredited Secondary Schools in the United States. Bulletin, 1925, No. 11
Author: Phillips, Frank M.
Date: 1925-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Accreditation (Institutions),Secondary Schools,High Schools,State Schools,Private Schools,College Preparation,College Attendance,High School Graduates,Institutional Evaluation,Institutional Characteristics,Public Schools

The American high school is a growing institution, and now includes more than 19,000 public high schools; 2,500 private high schools and academies; and more than 300 preparatory departments of universities and colleges. To a large majority of secondary students, the modern high school is their final school; to others it is a preparatory school, an intermediate step between the elementary school and college. Of every 1,000 students enrolled in the first five grades of the elementary school, 342 enter high school, 139 graduate high school, and 72 go on to college; those attending normal schools, teachers colleges, and other institutions of higher education may be added to that last number. For these 72, the list of accredited high schools becomes a necessity. For those who complete high school and do not enter college, as well as those who drop out before graduation from high school, a well-selected high school becomes a matter of vital importance. This bulletin, similar in arrangement, content, and design to those published in 1913, 1915, 1916, and 1922, is intended to meet the needs not only of such students, but of officers charged with the control of secondary schools and higher institutions, and State examining and certifying boards as well. It defines &quot;accredited secondary school&quot; and &quot;unit,&quot; shows the variations in requirements of accrediting agencies, and describes methods of accrediting. Included in the divisions of the bulletin are two parts: (1) State lists of schools accredited by State universities and State officers of education, and (2) Lists of the four principal associations which undertake to accredit schools. (Individual sections contain footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
Statistics of State Universities and State Colleges for Year Ending June 30, 1924. Bulletin, 1925, No. 12
Author: Department of the Interior, Bureau of Education (ED)
Date: 1925-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Liberal Arts,Medical Education,Pharmacy,Dentistry,State Universities,College Presidents,Student Costs,Income,College Faculty,College Students,Statistical Surveys,Higher Education,Postsecondary Education,Two Year Colleges,Professional Education,Teacher Education,Enrollment,Males,Females,Educational Facilities,Financial Support,School Statistics,Educational History,Educational Policy,State Policy,Educational Finance,Extension Education,National Surveys,Dental Schools,Law Schools,State Colleges

This annual bulletin, formerly prepared and published by the National Association of State Universities, has been published by the Bureau of Education for the past 16 years. The data given are taken from reports received from the offices of the presidents of the various institutions, and the figures printed are substantially as given in those reports. There have been so many calls in recent years from the state institutions for information concerning tuition and other fixed annual charges that it seems desirable to include in this bulletin a table containing this information. The table includes figures for arts and sciences, medicine, dentistry, law, and pharmacy. In almost all instances the rates for other courses of study such as engineering and agriculture are the same as for arts and sciences. (Contains 6 tables.) [Prepared in the Division of Statistics.

Bibliography of Science Teaching in Secondary Schools. Bulletin, 1925, No. 13
Author: Glenn, Earl R., Comp.
Date: 1925-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Science Education,Bibliographies,Educational Resources,Educational History,Science Instruction,Secondary School Science,Natural Sciences,Physics,Chemistry,Periodicals

The council of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, at its Cincinnati, Ohio meeting in December, 1923, authorized a special committee to make a study of the role played and to be played by science in education. That committee was organized in 1924, and the presentation of this bibliography is a product of its work. An adequate study of any subject as the place of science in education must proceed with constant reference to the existing literature. The literature of science teaching is already extensive, but it is unusually scattered, in many different forms of publication. The bibliography herewith presented has been in the process of preparation for several years as a part of a series of studies of science teaching. It includes articles bearing upon those sciences most generally taught in secondary schools. It has recently been entirely revised and checked and made to include titles up to the earlier publications of the year 1925. The expense involved in the preparation of a comprehensive, annotated bibliography is such that it was decided to publish, first, a list of titles bearing upon the teaching of the chief science subjects, which have been found to be general science, biology, chemistry, and physics. This publication represents the first portion of the work. The preparation of a critically selected, annotated bibliography for a limited number of topics in the field of science is in progress and will be published later.

Type: Guides - Classroom - Teacher
Subjects: Field Trips,Botany,Plants (Botany),Gardening,Lesson Plans,Interdisciplinary Approach,Environmental Education,Physical Environment,Elementary School Curriculum,Outdoor Education,Curriculum Guides,Reading Instruction,Mathematics Instruction,Language Arts,Art Education,Social Studies,Science Instruction,Class Activities,Story Telling,Singing,Experiments,Instructional Materials,Program Descriptions,Animals,Agriculture,Educational Resources,Visual Aids,Urban Areas,Rural Areas,Student Projects,Foods Instruction,Agricultural Production,Zoology,Ecology

The Bureau of Education developed this course of study, published as a bulletin, reflecting increased interest of the movement for out-door education and in response to a request to the Bureau from the General Federation of Women's Clubs. It will be of value in promoting a type of study much needed in schools, and it will offer to the primary and intermediate teacher a suggestive series of projects on nature study which can be easily adapted to the daily programs in schools in different localities in the United States. This course is a detailed plan of work covering the child's ordinary range of experience and environment, including cycles of garden life and plant life. It is designed for all grades and is divided into two separate units of lower and upper grade work, the teachers in each grade to select the material best adapted to their courses of study and their daily programs. Correlation of nature study with the other subject matter in use in the schools is the principle worked out in this plan of work based on the child's environment. All the activities of the school are included in it, and suggestions for the use of nature study as an integral part of the other lessons are given in the daily program. Lessons in reading, language, and arithmetic are suggested; appropriate songs and stories are indicated; and bases for the arts and crafts and language modes are given. This bulletin contains a series of projects in nature study, which are planned with special reference to the appropriate seasons of the year and to the needs and conditions of the grade teachers in the schools. These lessons are so arranged that they may be adapted to the teacher's use without necessitating an undue amount of research and study. Subjects are listed, references are given, and outlines provided for each subject. In addition to this a suggestive lesson which has been worked out in a schoolroom is presented with each subject to further aid the teacher in adapting the work for her use. Suggestions for handwork, for field trips, and for simple experiments in the schoolroom will clear away the difficulties of many teachers who are trying to work out a project in nature study.

Identifying Characteristics in Low SES and Bicultural Parent Groups That Enhance Their Capacity to Enact Successful Change
Author: Rosenquist, Karen L.
Date: 2013-03-00
Type: Reports - Research
Subjects: Academic Achievement,Self Efficacy,School Personnel,Change Agents,Educational Change,Economic Status,Parent Participation,Parent School Relationship,Socioeconomic Status,Individual Characteristics,Low Income Groups,Principals,Interviews,Language Proficiency,Parent Role,Biculturalism

The relationship between bicultural parents, low socio-economic parents and the public school system is made tenuous in large part by cultural disparities between school officials and parents. The greater the disparity, the more likely parent groups are to be silenced and the more likely they are to refrain from the role of change agents or advocates for school reform. To contemplate what it takes for these disadvantaged parent groups to enact changes they desire at the school or district level, this study culls from research on in several areas of academic literature:  parent involvement and student achievement, community organizing, and change management. Each of these areas of research offers insights on how success change is enacted; the characteristics and the attributes groups must have in order to bring about desired changes to processes and outcomes. Parent leaders and principals from low socio-economic status considered to be change agents in their community were interviewed. Their insights reinforce the literature, commenting on the nature of relationship parents and school and the nature of change. Open-ended questions relating to the nature of changes undertaken, the efficacy of tactics employed, and perceived deficit thinking on the part of parents and school personnel are addressed. Results indicated that self-efficacy and competence in the English language are key characteristics of parent groups with high levels of engagement.
