Item A comparison of two approaches for planning long-range comprehensive inservice education(Texas Tech University, 1978-12) Fairall, Bonnie MayBoth inservice education and long-range planning are being increasingly mandated for local education agencies by federal and state legislative and regulatory bodies. However, most personnel in local school districts have little or no training in the processes of either area. In order to comply with an increased demand for more inservice education and long-range planning, school districts find it necessary to develop appropriate processes to be used; however, it is even more important to have effective processes—ones which actually benefit the district and its personnel, and do not merely cover the mandates. In addition, these mandates are aimed at bringing about change.Item A study of factors affecting the initiation of innovative academic programs at selected universities.(Texas Tech University, 1975-08) Boucher, Donald ManningNot availableItem Development of a music curriculum for an early childhood non-music major college level course(Texas Tech University, 2004-08) Jahnke Dees, JenniferInstructors of music courses for undergraduate early childhood education majors face many challenges when designing a one-semester music curriculum. Few music textbooks specific to early childhood are available. Many more music texts geared for elementary majors are available but include little information of early childhood years (birth - 8 years old). In addition, these elementary music texts often place a major emphasis on the fundamentals of music. Studies show this focus may not be the most productive in developing generalists who will provide quality musical experiences in their classrooms. Students would benefit greatly from a sequential, experiential, and applicable music curriculum that includes song materials, age appropriate activities, pertinent readings, valuable resources, and experiences interacting musically with children. The purpose of this study was to develop a music curriculum designed for undergraduate early childhood majors in the study of early childhood music. The curriculum was based on studies of the practical music skills and understandings of classroom teachers, studies of musical self-perceptions of non-music majors, studies of sequence, the MENC position statement on early childhood music (MENC, 1993), and a review of available texts. The prescribed sequential curriculum provides a weekly format of in-class topics and activities, as well as homework assignments. Although the curriculum described in this paper is specific to a particular one-semester, three-credit-hour, early childhood major music course, the ideas and activities could be adapted to meet the needs of another course.Item Evaluation of instructional materials designed for teaching consumer education to adults(Texas Tech University, 1970-08) Lester, Karen MorrisNot availableItem Institutional planning practices in Bible colleges accredited by the American Association of Bible Colleges(Texas Tech University, 1980-05) Eagen, Larry JohnNot available
