Difficulty in recognizing these implementation practices and outcomes has arisen because of a more popular, but narrow, view of compensatory education. Instead of attempting to discover whether intervention patterns have been established to administer to the needs of disadvantaged children, the emphases have been on identifying...

If needed significant educational change is to be achieved, some countervailing power source capable of confronting administrative bureaucracy and making it conform to the present needs of the public must be established. Community control, the subdivision of the large system into appropriate communities and the control of each community by its local citizens and their appointees, merits a trial. Among the actions needed to save our public schools are: making school board membership a fulltime,...

Schools are experiencing pressure to integrate into school programs the educational concepts that society demands. Other factors affecting educational administration are (1) conflicts over control of schools, (2) lack of confidence in decision-makers, (3) reduction of the separation between policy-making and day-to-day administration through school board involvement in administering schools, and (4) citizen apathy. In the future, education will be characterized by sensible and humane...

The way in which teachers use technology in their instruction is often a function of their educational and technological background, their previous teaching experience, and the amount of attention the instructor pays to the goals of the course. The three stages of teaching elicit the following types of questions: (1) survival: "How can I survive the day/semester?" and "How can I cover all the material in the time allotted?"; (2) improving the basic curriculum and delivery...

In the wealth of documentation produced as a result of increasing pressures on local school districts to be accountable, two terms--"needs assessment" and "planning"--are bandied about most frequently. These terms are often used interchangeably and, even when this is not the case, they often represent varying shades of meaning. Such confusion in the literature makes it difficult to operationalize implicit processes and concepts at the practitioner level in the effort to...

Educational technology presents a challenge to educators. It makes possible the instruction of an individual in any course the educator deems necessary. In order to utilize these new opportunities effectively, the educators must decide what the goals are for a person in an automated society.

He must contend with the special...
