Alternative spring break : a manual to assist in the planning and implementation of a service-learning trip
No full textA template was developed to guide the planning, implementation and evaluation of a service-learning alternative spring break trip. Discussion was based upon a trip designed by the author and implemented in March 2006. Participants were undergraduate students at Ball State University. The project provided background information on service-learning and current alternative breaks at colleges and universities across the United States. A compilation of components necessary to plan a trip was included. Additionally, recommendations were prepared for future coordinators.Thesis (M.A.)Department of Educational Studie
Disability, Deference, and the Integrity of the Academic Enterprise
No full textCongress has established a complex set of laws regarding the education of disabled students. This Article discusses the obligations the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act impose on schools and focuses on how courts interpreting these statutes address the decisions of educators regarding how best to educate disabled students. Professor Dupre brings to light a striking contrast between how courts regard the decisions of educators in higher education as opposed to the decisions of educators in primary and secondary schools, routinely according the former considerable deference while often pointedly rejecting the recommendations of the latter. The author explains the multifaceted reasons underlying this difference in deference and proposes a more uniform framework for review that she maintains would both meet the mandates of the federal law while preserving the virtue of the educational program for both disabled and nondisabled students
Mass Secondary Schooling and the State
No full textIn the three decades from 1910 to 1940, the fraction of U.S. youths enrolled in public and private secondary schools increased from 18 to 71 percent and the fraction graduating soared from 9 to 51 percent. At the same time, state compulsory education and child labor legislation became more stringent and potentially constrained secondary-school aged youths. It might appear from the timing and the specifics of this history that the laws caused the increase in education rates. We evaluate the possibility that state compulsory schooling and child labor laws caused the increase in education rates by using contemporaneous evidence on enrollments. We also use micro-data from the 1960 census to examine the effect of the laws on overall educational attainment. Our estimation approach exploits cross-state differences in the timing of changes in state laws. We find that the expansion of state compulsory schooling and child labor laws from 1910 to 1939 can, at best, account for 5 percent of the increase in high school enrollments and can account for about the same portion of the increase in the eventual educational attainment for the affected cohorts over the period.
