This creative project is a handbook for teaching language arts by the use of mass media concepts. It is divided into four sections: radio (audio), television (video), newspaper, and magazine (printed media) with a total of 33 exercises. Exercises are based on commonly accepted program and sectional breakdowns of the mass media. Exercises are divided into twelve parts: (1) Title, (2) Medium, (3) Description (This is a. synopsis of the exercise.), (4) language Arts Tie-ins (This explains some of the direct applications of the exercise.), (5) Purpose and Objectives, (6) Materials and Equipment, (7) Advance Preparation, (8) Preliminary Activities, (9) Review Skills and Background Information (This suggests the academic material that could be presented.), (10) Activity Procedures, (11) Time Required, and (12) Additional Assignments (These have been included in appropriate areas.)The handbook is to be used by language arts teachers to supplement their classroom program and serve as a motivational tool. Exercises are designed so that teachers can use the handbook using whatever equipment is available.

Mathematics is regarded as a driving force in economies worldwide. The performance of South African learners in mathematics over the past decade has highlighted that problems are being experienced across all grades. This situation needs to be addressed with urgency. The South African Department of Education stated that quality learning must be the objective for all grades. The implementation of good teaching practices plays a crucial role in improving the quality of education and in guiding learners towards quality learning. To achieve quality mathematics teaching and learning it is imperative to determine what good mathematics teaching practices are. The identification of good mathematic teaching practices will provide a yard stick to measure the mathematics teaching competency of teachers. This study identifies a set of good mathematics teaching practice indicators and evidences applicable to teachers in the Intermediate phase as a first contribution. These indicators and evidences frame the second research contribution: an assessment instrument entitled “A Classroom Observation Tool for Observing Mathematics Teaching Practices in Primary Schools”. As a third research contribution a generic profile of a Grade four mathematics teacher has been built. This generic profile has been built through an analysis of data gathered by means of self-assessment questionnaires completed by the research sample, as well as through applying the observation tool. The value of the generic profile lies in the identification of shared strengths and shared improvement opportunities in the mathematics teaching practice of the sample and as such, it forms the basis of a theory on Grade four mathematics teaching practice. The fourth research contribution is the design and application of an intervention that addresses the shared improvement opportunities. The research study concludes by comparing pre-intervention classroom observation data with post-intervention classroom observation data and reporting on the impact of the intervention.

The purpose of this project was to develop an employer handbook to assist them in developing a return to work program for industrially injured workers.

This manual is written as a self-training guide on the elements of Information and Referral (I and R) service and on the process of providing I and R to the older population. The manual attempts to build a useful framework for methods of providing I and R service. The manual is directed at workers who are providing I and R services to the elderly. It is intended to serve as an orientation guide on the basic elements of I and R service and as a "how to" guide for methods and techniques of service provision. The new worker should find the manual helpful as a basic training tool and the experienced worker who may wish to use the material to assess or strengthen his/her current practices. Information and Referral services for the elderly were given high priority in the 1973 amendments to the Older Americans Act which established a goal of providing "reasonably convenient access" to I and R services for all older persons in this country. Numerous organizations are involved in providing this service, ranging from small senior centers to large public bureaucracies. With this assortment of organizations, there are differences in interpretations and methods of providing I and R service. land R is provided over the telephone, in office settings and through outreach efforts. This manual was written in an attempt to pull together basic information on the elements and dimensions of I and R service provision, that would be useful for all I and R workers securing services for the elderly. The manual is organized in three self-contained chapters which can be used separately for the specific topic areas or together as a comprehensive training guide. Each chapter is followed by exercises which enable the worker to practice specific techniques and to apply information obtained in the text to his/her work situation. Chapter I serves as an overview and should furnish the worker with a historical perspective and an understanding of the basic elements of I and R service. Chapter II focuses on the process of I and R service provision and the interaction between the worker and the consumer. Chapter III presents techniques and guidelines for providing I and R service. An appendix of suggested readings is also included. The manual is most profitably used when followed by discussion with a supervisor or co-worker.

1. Purpose of the Study: The purpose of this study was to develop a conceptual model for a marketing approach for administering community colleges. This model was based on Eugene McCarthy's marketing model which provides for emphasizing customer needs and developing the product, price, promotion, and place variables in relationship to customer needs and institutional resources. The concept of the model was developed as an operational tool in the form of a handbook for marketing the community college. 2. Methods and Procedures: The literature and "juries of experts" were used to develop the criteria for and content of the handbook. After the literature review two community college presidents were interviewed to determine the criteria for the handbook. Using the literature and the interview findings an outline, Preface, and one chapter were written and sent to six community college presidents for review and comments. The entire handbook was then written, using the literature, the jury members' criteria for acceptance and the researcher's knowledge of marketing. A draft of the handbook was sent to twenty-one college administrators and faculty, along with a ten-question, open ended questionnaire. The reviews of this jury were summarized for the purpose of revising the handbook. 3. Conclusions: Although there is a growing interest in the use of marketing techniques by community college administrators, most of them do not know the proper procedures to use in order to accomplish their marketing goals. There was not a handbook, book, or manual available that addressed the entire procedure for marketing the community college. The handbook which was developed during this study was judged by the reviewers to be of value to the community college administrator who is interested in using marketing techniques. / Ed. D.
