Views toward merit pay by certificated personnel in the Griffin-Spalding County school system, 1989
No full textThis study was undertaken to present the views of elementary, middle school and high school certificated personnel in the Griffin-Spalding County School System toward merit pay and to determine whether these views positive or negative. An educational opinionnaire was designed and pilot tested on a small group of central office personnel, including two schoolbased administrators. The pilot test opinionnaire instrument was calculated at a coefficient alpha reliability of .78. Following the pilot testing, the opinionnaire instrument was distributed to 100 elementary, middle school and high school certificated personnel in the Griffin-Spalding County School System. Sixty four percent of the total opinionnaires distributed were returned. From the tabulation and analytical treatment of the data, it was concluded that certificated personnel in the Griffin-Spalding County School System displayed strong negative attitudes about merit pay as the means to reward master teachers or superior teachers. Participants' responses suggest strongly that there is no fairway to implement any form of merit pay. It was also concluded that the certificated personnel generally held positive attitudes about their overall commitment to the educational system and about the educational system in Griffin-Spalding County. Negative views reported regarding the ability of the school system to provide for a fair and impartial implementation of merit pay. The major recommendations are that the Griffin-Spalding County Board of Education study the issue of merit pay very carefully and that classroom teachers, along with administrators, have adequate input in devising local guidelines for merit pay

Pioneer Spirit: Catherine Spalding, Sister of Charity of Nazareth
No full textMother Catherine Spalding (1793–1858) was the cofounder and first leader of one of the most significant American religious communities for women—the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth near Bardstown, Kentucky. Elected at age nineteen to lead the order, Spalding also founded several educational institutions, Louisville’s first private hospital, and the first social service agency for children in Kentucky. Pioneer Spirit is the first biography of Catherine Spalding, a woman who made it her life’s work to serve the citizens of the Kentucky frontier. Catherine, who lost her mother at a young age and was raised in many different homes before she was ten years old, eventually came to be raised in a colony of Catholic families. These formative years taught her independence, the value of hard work and an enduring spirit, and the importance of education, all of which would figure prominently in her later career. Spalding became increasingly interested in health care, services for orphans, and education, and her business skills and strong sense of purpose allowed her to achieve her goals with little interference from outsiders. She showed a natural gift for administration, and the scope and services of the Sisters of Charity expanded under her leadership. In the midst of this ministerial work, however, Spalding always maintained the connection of her ministry to spiritual and communal life, ascribing great importance to all three facets of her calling. Author Mary Ellen Doyle notes that in Spalding’s correspondence with the Sisters, she repeatedly emphasized the heart of charity: “genuine interest in each other and sisterly affection free of personal ambition or jealousy.” By the time of Catherine Spalding’s death, the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth extended beyond Nazareth to more than one hundred sisters in sixteen convents. Spalding’s legacy of service continues today with more than six hundred members worldwide, and her story of progressive and compassionate leadership offers unique insights into the growth of a religious order and the struggles of developing America’s frontier communities.

Means And Ends of Education
No full text"Means and Ends of Education," a collection of philosophical essays by J. L. Spalding from 1895, argues that education is not just the transmission of knowledge but a guide toward character building and the achievement of noble aims. The author deeply questions the goals of education and suggests the establishment of a comprehensive national educational system centered around philosophy and theology, aiming for intellectual excellence. Spalding stresses the importance of undertaking worthy work despite the risk of failure, believing in a Judge who measures worth by a "noble aim faithfully kept" rather than conventional standards; this inspiring guide asserts that the ultimate end of education is to elevate the individual to higher ethical and intellectual standards.J. L. Spalding'in 1895 tarihli eseri "Means and Ends of Education" (Eğitimin Araçları ve Amaçları), eğitimin sadece bilgi aktarımı değil, aynı zamanda karakter inşası ve soylu amaçlara ulaşma yolunda bir rehber olduğunu savunan felsefi bir denemeler koleksiyonudur. Yazar, eğitimin hedeflerini derinlemesine sorgular ve zihinsel mükemmelliği hedefleyen, felsefe ve teolojiyi temel alan kapsamlı bir ulusal eğitim sistemi kurulması gerektiğini öne sürer. Spalding, başarıyı geleneksel ölçütlerle değil, "sadakatle sürdürülen soylu bir amaç" ile ölçen bir yargıcın varlığına inanarak, başarısızlık riskine rağmen değerli bir işe kalkışmanın önemini vurgular; bu eser, eğitimin nihai amacının bireyi daha yüksek etik ve entelektüel standartlara taşımak olduğunu anlatan, ilham verici bir kılavuzdur
The Religious Enlightenment of Johann Joachim Spalding: A Paradigmatic Case
No full textIn the eighteenth century, being both a Christian and a supporter of the Enlightenment was not easy, and this applies in a very particular way to the German clergyman, theologian and philosopher Johann Joachim Spalding (1714–1804). Widely known as the author of the bestseller, Die Bestimmung des Menschen, Spalding embodies some recurrent features of the German Enlightenment: he was educated and eventually served as a Lutheran pastor; read the works of Christian Wolff, and was fascinated with Anglo-Scottish moral sense philosophy, contributing crucially to its introduction into the German territories; and finally took a critical stance on the obscurantist politics of Frederick William II and his minister’s edict in religious matters. It comes as no surprise that he was credited with symbolic value by both allies and enemies, who saw him as a leading star or radical rebel, eager to modernise – or destroy – the dogmatic system of Protestantism. This essay aims to reconstruct Spalding’s efforts to realise this challenging task. To do so, it will provide a comprehensive overview of Spalding’s works, including minor and lesser known writings. Particular attention will be given to Spalding’s views on the aim of human life, the role of religion in attaining this, and the distinctive conception of philosophy at stake here. At the same time, Spalding’s definition of “enlightenment” (Aufklärung) will also be unpacked and carefully explored. In so doing, the article will offer a fresh and additional insight into one of the most fascinating epochs of Western thought and culture, which Spalding – once more – exemplifies paradigmatically

Arthur Whitefield Spalding : A Study of His Life and Contributions to Family-Life Education in the Seventh-day Adventist Church
No full textProblem. Using the historical-documentary research design, this study documented the contributions of Arthur W. Spalding to family-life education within the Seventh-day Adventist church. The contextual milieu revealed that Spalding was current with his times in fostering family-life education, but unique in his approach.
Method. The author examined primary documents from four archival sources, as well as reference holdings in two libraries. All book and article publications by Spalding were also examined. The findings were analyzed and compared. Agreements and inconsistencies were noted to maintain internal reliability. Secondary sources were utilized to create the contextual milieu and to supplement the primary sources.
Conclusions. The era in which Spalding did his work for families was fraught with rapid changes in morals and domesticity. Spalding developed a personal philosophy, not out of harmony with his church but far in advance of many, for teaching familiness and sexuality. Although his work extended around the world, the Great Depression and indistinct lines of organization impeded further advance of his work in parent and family-life education. Notwithstanding, Spalding\u27s writings and personal work for the families of the church sustained an awareness of their needs. He published more than eight hundred articles and poems, and thirty-one books, giving instruction in Christian philosophy and family life. Although he met with critical opposition for his view that sexeducation ought to be taught in Seventh-day Adventist educational institutions, Spalding pioneered family-life education in Seventh-day Adventist schools and colleges. When he retired, the Home Commission was merged into the Education Department of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, where it lost momentum within a few years
