At St Therese’s Girls’ School we have initiated a transition from a post-primary program to a secondary program. Part of this change has been a re-thinking and reorganization of the mathematics program.There are 40 students in the secondary section. In the past they were taught in three different classes – Grades 8, 9 and 10. One teacher taught each class and the secondary section was organized like a primary school. Now the secondary section is organized along different lines, but it is not the purpose of this paper to explain the organization of the secondary section. The purpose of this paper is to explain the philosophy, approach, and some of the content of the secondary mathematics program.It would seem that in the past the philosophy behind most post-primary programs prompted teachers to engage their classes in one of two activities. Either the class would spend the bulk of its day engaged in some sort of manual study, or else the teacher would engage the class in studies that were aimed at catching up with the Aboriginal students’ non-Aboriginal counterparts. The philosophy behind both approaches saw the Aboriginal students as inferior.The philosophy behind both the mathematics program at St Therese’s, and the secondary program in general, is based on what I believe to be a far more truthful reality. I believe that it is not acceptable to infer that Aboriginal students are inferior and to organize their schooling around either manual studies or alternatively academic studies aimed at catching up to their European-Australian counterparts.

Primary Program

We examine the development of the Kentucky nongraded primary program at the state level, and in six rural elementary schools from 1991 through 1998 (case studies of four of these schools are included in Appendix A). Data collected from our longitudinal qualitative study reveal that teachers changed their classrooms in response to the primary program mandate, and some positive outcomes occurred for students. Implementation was hampered, however, by rapid implementation timelines, failure to clearly articulate the purpose of the program and how it linked with a larger reform effort, and a firmly entrenched "graded" mindset. Currently, progress toward full implementation of a continuous progress model for primary students has stagnated. To revive the program, policymakers need to make program goals clear, demonstrate how its implementation will facilitate attainment of reform goals, and assist teachers in implementing the program as intended.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the utilization of information technology in accounting functions, related to the scale of operations, by Pennsylvania’s home building contractors.  The researchers examined whether differences in firm size played a factor in how often accounting or project management software was used for job costing, whether or not the primary accounting function was computerized, and if computerized, the primary program used for the accounting functions by home builders. According to the findings, the researchers concluded that there are significant differences among and between firm sizes in the use of accounting and project management software for job costing by Pennsylvania home building firms.  Secondly, the data showed significant differences existed among firm sizes between the use of a computerized accounting system or manual accounting system.  Finally, the data revealed that there are significant differences among firm sizes in the primary program used for estimating when a firm is computerized.

Cultural Upheaval

Prior to 1994, Lockhart River was a P-7 school. Students from the community wishing to undertake secondary studies had to leave the community and attend secondary school at Bamaga, Cairns or elsewhere. The emotional and cultural upheaval caused by such a move had a significant effect on these students' achievements.
