Normal schools are not now standardized, varying widely in organization, admission requirements, courses of study, and modes of instruction; and have never been a part of the system of higher education in this country. This monograph merely outlines the problem of standardization of State normal schools, and aims to demonstrate the necessity of a broader investigation. The bulletin is restricted to a study of State normal schools, eliminating a consideration of the work of closely related institutions, such as city training schools, county normal schools, and teachers' training courses in high schools. Contents include: (1) Introduction: Scope of the bulletin; (2) Statistical comparison of colleges and normal schools; (3) Purpose, number, and geographical distribution of services of State normal schools; (4) The administrative control of State normal schools; (5) Practice-teaching facilities; (6) Students and graduates; (7) Faculties of State normal schools; (8) Normal-school costs; (9) General courses of study for high-school graduates; (10) The organization of practice teaching; (11) The training of rural teachers; (12) Training of high-school teachers and conferring of degrees; (13) The training of teachers of special subjects; and (14) Program for development of normal-school standards. (Contains 9 tables; 3 figures; and 15 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.]

The administrators and faculties of higher educational institutions are frequently so engaged in the problems of individual institutions that they do not find time nor occasion to take stock at periodic intervals of the activities and general progress of the universities and colleges of the United States. The author was tasked to prepare this review of matters which engaged much of the attention of the higher educational institutions of the United States during the period 1922 to 1924. The influence of the rising cost of higher education upon institutional administration and ideals is presented in connection with the steps proposed or taken to meet changing conditions. Methods of orienting the college freshman in his new environment are discussed together with experiments and proposals for changes which will further improve standards of scholarship, teaching methods, and adjustment of college work to the public, social, and economic life of college graduates. This bulletin focuses on these topics: (1) Cost of higher education; (2) Selective processes; (3) Increase of fees; (4) Entrance examinations; (5) Standards of admission and of institutional accrediting; (6) Grade limitations; (7) Character scoring; (8) Psychological tests; (9) Freshman problems; (10) Sectioning classes; (11) Orientation courses; (12) Curriculum revision; (13) Teaching methods; (14) Special honors and distinctions; (15) Honors courses; (16) Graduate work; (17) Social and college life; (18) Outside contacts; and (19) Junior colleges.

This manual is printed primarily to present to educational committees of the State legislatures, educators, legislators, and interested citizens, the essentials of a program of educational legislation, state-wide in scope, based upon the experiences of the various States during the past several decades. A large amount of proposed educational legislation is presented at each legislative session. Some of it is desirable, but a large part is not. It is with difficulty that those unfamiliar with school administration can pass upon it and know what ought to be enacted into law and what is discarded. It is hoped that this publication will be of assistance in determining action. Topics are discussed in the light of experience of the Sates with different systems and of the best ideas of authorities in school administration. Contents include: (1) Purpose and scope; (2) General analysis of school organization and administration; (3) School costs and school support; (4) School attendance and compulsory attendance laws; (5) Health and physical education; (6) Kindergarten legislation; (7) Teaching staff; (8) Certification of teachers; (9) School textbooks; and (10) School grounds and buildings. Individual sections contain footnotes. (Contains 20 tables and 6 figures.) [Prepared in the Rural Education Division, United States Bureau of Education. Best copy available has been provided.]

This bulletin is the second of a cooperative series sponsored by the National Committee on Research in Secondary Education. With the profession of education demanding research as a basis for adaptation of school procedures, research is being undertaken by an increasing number of agencies and is rapidly involving school principals and classroom teachers. The Bureau of Education regards this tendency as wholesome and is seeking to encourage it by lending its facilities for research to educational organizations. The purpose of this bulletin is to give definite help to the principal and teacher who wish to investigate some phase of secondary school work. The conditions essential to scientific research will be briefly stated in language as nontechnical as possible, and certain types of research problems will be briefly discussed. Finally, some helps will be given on the method of reporting the results of research. Topics covered in this bulletin include: (1) Introduction; (2) Conditions essential to scientific research; (3) The qualifications of the research worker; (4) Types of research problems; (5) The questionnaire; (6) The report; and (7) Summary of suggestions and directions.

A Brief Look at...the Texas B-On-Time Loan Program. Research Report
Author: Shook, Melissa
Date: 2012-08-00
Type: Reports - Descriptive
Subjects: Student Financial Aid,Student Loan Programs,State Aid,Time to Degree,Graduation,Undergraduate Students,Eligibility

The Texas B-On-Time (BOT) Loan Program is a unique state aid program intended to increase access to higher education in Texas and encourage on-time graduation. This state student loan may be completely forgiven if the otherwise eligible borrower completes his or her degree on time. The BOT Loan Program was developed in response to low on-time graduation rates; as of 2003, less than 50% of Texas students were graduating within 6 years of entering college. With the creation of this bill, State Senator Judith Zaffirini (D-Laredo) aimed to increase the return on college investment by motivating students to graduate on time and therefore spend less money on their education. A secondary goal of this program is to help prevent overcrowding at public universities in Texas by creating vacancies as more students graduate in less time (Holdsworth, 2004). This paper discusses the following: (1) Eligibility requirements; (2) Renewal eligibility; and (3) Forgiveness requirements of the loan program.
With Great Challenges Come Great Opportunities: Promising Practices of Texas Community Colleges

Subjects: Academic Degrees,Community Colleges,Community Needs,Remedial Instruction,Student Characteristics,Student Needs,Certification,College Role,Qualitative Research,Case Studies,Accountability,Educational Improvement,College Faculty,Two Year College Students,Attendance,Outreach Programs,Higher Education

Enrollment at Texas community colleges has increased substantially in recent years. Texas community colleges have a multitude of diverse missions, from academic degrees to technical certifications, remedial education, recreational self-fulfillment courses, and more. This diversity of student and community needs poses significant challenges to a community college's ability to produce successful outcomes for its students and community. TG's Center for Financial Aid Policy in Community Colleges commissioned a report to examine how high-performing Texas community colleges were meeting those challenges. In this report, a qualitative approach was used to gather descriptive information from three top-performing Texas community colleges: Northwest Vista College, Temple College, and Wharton County Junior College. This report provides a summary of recurring themes discovered among these institutions to help guide community colleges as they formulate future initiatives. (Contains 8 charts.)
Digging Deeper: Making Sense of Student Loan Debt in Texas. Research Report

Student loans are likely to remain a prominent instrument for paying for college in Texas, a necessary financial tool for low- and moderate-income students. As college costs rise and growing enrollments further stretch grant funds, the policy challenge is to assist students in determining the appropriate level of student loans for their individual situation. The process begins with quality college outreach services to high school students. Financial literacy training can help students manage their finances and plan their careers wisely, providing reasonable loan debt and salary expectations. Professional, qualified loan counseling can help students better understand their loan obligations, and a neutral party can advocate on behalf of students and provide essential delinquency and default prevention services to keep them in repayment. Although they carry some risk, student loans are a necessary tool for promoting college access and success, allowing students to enroll full time and work a minimum number of hours. This can enhance the quality of the educational experience and reduce the number of years to degree, saving money for both the student and the state.

Tracking 2003 ACT[R]-Tested High School Graduates: College Readiness, Enrollment, and Long-Term Success. ACT Research Report Series, 2012 (2)
Author: Radunzel, Justine
Date: 2012-04-00
Type: Numerical/Quantitative Data
Subjects: College Readiness,High School Graduates,Inspection,Educational Indicators,Longitudinal Studies,Enrollment,Academic Persistence,Educational Attainment,Grade Point Average,Time to Degree,Academic Achievement

This study examined the relationships between multiple measures of college readiness and success in college. Outcomes included enrollment in college immediately after high school, retention in college, and degree completion. College readiness indicators at time of high school graduation included ACT[R] scores and Benchmark attainment, high school coursework taken, and grade point average. College success was also evaluated by early readiness indicators, individually and in combination, from grade 8 through grade 11/12. The primary data sources for the study consisted of all ACT-tested 2003 high school graduates (for enrollment) and a stratified random sample of 24,850 of these high school graduates who immediately enrolled in college in fall 2003 (for retention and degree completion). Over 5,000 of the enrolled students had also participated in EXPLORE[R] and PLAN[R]. Results were disaggregated by institution type. The results of this study demonstrate the importance of college readiness for enrollment in college and for persistence to timely degree completion. This study also documents the benefits of a longitudinal assessment system for monitoring students' readiness early and often. A longitudinal system provides an infrastructure to intervene and better prepare students for college and career, before they graduate from high school. Tables are appended. (Contains 23 tables, 22 figures and 27 footnotes.)
