The Individual Pupil in the Management of Class and School (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from The Individual Pupil in the Management of Class and School The schools of a democracy should offer to each pupil those unique opportunities for acquiring skills, for practice in precise thinking, and for growth in power of appreciation which are attainable by one of his intelligence. This ideal requires that we adjust our standards to the abilities of our pupils. Every pupil in the ideal school system is judged by the best which he can do and not by the median performance of a non-selected group. In order to adjust our schools to the needs of individual boys and girls, our curricula and courses of study must be markedly different for groups of children who vary in ability. We may not rest satisfied with the provision of special opportunities for the feeble-minded, the physically handicapped, and the morally delinquent. It is important that adjustments be made in terms of the varying abilities, achievements, and environmental conditions of children all along the line. It is of surpassing importance to provide facilities which will stimulate the most able children to the attainment of their fullest intellectual development. Our schools have begun to attack this problem. Further progress is dependent upon the more complete diagnosis and guidance for each pupil enrolled in the schools. In this volume. Dr. Mort presents the best that has been accomplished in our schools, as well as suggestions for the improvement and development of our practices in caring for the needs of individuals. The teacher who masters the methods which he presents will get the satisfaction which comes to those who practice the fine art of teaching.

Manual of School Management


Book Description

Excerpt from Manual of School Management: For the Use of Teachers, Students, and Pupil-Teachers The hints contained in the following pages were originally designed for the use of the students attending the Glasgow Free Church Training College. Observing that the want of a test-book, which the students might consult at their leisure, interfered, to a very considerable extent, with the practical efficiency of lectures on School Management, the author compiled this Manual, which is now given to the public in the hope that the results of a somewhat large experience, therein recorded, may be of some service to young and inexperienced teachers. It has been the author's aim to render the hints clear, and, at the same time, thoroughly practical. Nothing has been set down which experience has not proved attainable in elementary schools. From the plan of the work, there may appear more repetitions than are necessary, but it was deemed advisable, even at the risk of somewhat marring mere literary effect, to treat each subject of instruction by itself. Exercises, taken for the most part from the papers set at the examinations held under the authority of the Committee of Council on Education, have been appended to almost all the chapters, with the view of directing attention to the points considered important by the Inspectors of schools, who prepare these papers, and whose great experience and enlightened views enable them to propose questions of a very suggestive nature.

Classroom Management


Book Description

Excerpt from Classroom Management: Its Principles and Technique This book is intended primarily for students of education in universities, training schools, and normal schools, who are preparing for classroom teaching, especially in the elementary grades. It aims, first, to furnish the prospective teacher with a compendium of precepts that will aid him in the mastery of technique; secondly, to interpret these precepts in the light of accepted psychological principles; and, thirdly, to unite both precepts and principles into a coherent and fairly comprehensive system. The data have been gathered from four sources: first and chiefly from observing the work of efficient and successful classroom teachers; secondly, from textbooks and treatises upon the subject of school management and classroom practice, numerous references to which will be found in the footnotes and at the close of the chapters; thirdly, from the writer's own experience; and fourthly, from general psychological principles. Data of the last-named class have, in every case, been subjected to actual test before being included in this volume. The writer is convinced that a successful science of education can never be produced by working backward from highly wrought theory to concrete practice.

School Management (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from School Management For some years the education of children has been considered more and more from the standpoint of the child. This has resulted in a great change in our schools, and in no respect is this change more marked than in the government of classes. The old arbitrary form of school government has given place to one more democratic. As under the latter form of government in the state, each citizen must bear his share of responsibility, so the school must be managed in such a way as to train its pupils for efficient social service in a free state. This Manual aims to present school management from this point of view. The teacher who looks upon school management as a factor in the training of children for free citizenship will make a better use of the courses of study than the teacher who works according to the view that the child must he adapted to his studies, to the conditions in the school, and in some respects to the peculiarities of the teacher. The course of study will be regarded as a means rather than as an end: not as a prescription of work in a variety of subjects to he completed within a specified time, but as a means through which the child's efficiency, as a citizen of a free state, may be developed. In the efforts to give effect to such a view, both the organization and the management of the school will he greatly influenced. It is from this point of view that the topics presented in this book should be studied, and it is now offered to teachers-in-training and to teachers in service, in the hope that it may aid them to become more efficient in the work of preparing their pupils for useful citizenship.
