Evaluative criteria for spelling

Thesis (Ed.M.)--Boston UniversityThe purpose of this study is to develop a set of criteria to evaluate the spelling area of an elementary school. The criteria consists of specific statements indicating desirable conditions and procedures in certain areas of the elementary school program. SUch statements should furnish a means for teachers to examine and evaluate the effectiveness of their own work. The Evaluative Criteria, an instrument by which a secondary school can be evaluated through making a self-evaluation, was developed by the Cooperative Study of Secondary-School Standards in 19~0 and revised in 1950. These criteria have been used extensively and successfully throughout the United States. Because it has been proved through use of the instrument that self-evaluation leads to improvement, it seemed pertinent to develop similar instrument by which an elementary school can be evaluated

‘Little Gunshots, but with the blaze of lightning’: Xavier Herbert, Visuality and Human Rights

Xavier Herbert published his bestseller Capricornia in 1938, following two periods spent in the Northern Territory. His next major work, Poor Fellow My Country (1975), was not published until thirty-seven years later, but was also set in the north during the 1930s. One significant difference between the two novels is that by 1975 photo-journalism had become a significant force for influencing public opinion and reforming Aboriginal policy. Herbert’s novel, centring upon Prindy as vulnerable Aboriginal child, marks a sea change in perceptions of Aboriginal people and their place in Australian society, and a radical shift toward use of photography as a means of revealing the violation of human rights after World War II. In this article I review Herbert’s visual narrative strategies in the context of debates about this key historical shift and the growing impact of photography in human rights campaigns. I argue that Poor Fellow My Country should be seen as a textual re-enactment, set in Herbert’s and the nation’s past, yet coloured by more recent social changes that were facilitated and communicated through the camera’s lens. Like all re-enactments, it is written in the past conditional: it asks, what if things had been different? It poses a profound challenge to the state project of scientific modernity that was the Northern Territory over the first decades of the twentieth century

Social work practice and life course development: transition and conformity?

Summary: The course of people lives is said to be marked by stages and periods of Transition, in effect a process of conforming, following a ‘set of rules’. This is demonstrated in literature and in the work of life course theorist who move through predictable stages, with failure to progress satisfactorily through these ‘stages’ affecting well-being and success in later life. Explored through the lens of professional social work practice, the question is how can we define what is ‘normal’? Findings: Life course development and transition theories give us a framework for understanding some of the common themes which have affected people through the ages and which affect individuals through the stages of their life. However each individuals life course must be interpreted through their own narratives
