The National Science Foundation has provided funds to support nineteen summer institutes in 1961 for elementary-school teachers, supervisors, and principals. Primary emphasis in the institutes will be devoted to strengthening the participants' knowledge of mathematics and science. Information and application blanks may be obtajned only from the host institutions. The completed application blanks must be postmarked by March 15, 1961, to assure consideration.

The recent revolution in school mathematics—the term associated with developments which have produced the so-called modern programs in mathematics—has presented a challenge to elementary school teachers. The challenge is to acquire sufficient background in mathematics to enable them to provide effective instruction in the mathematics program presently suggested for the elementary school.

Children's Grief

A study of 605 elementary school personnel in metropolitan New Orleans, one third of them black, was designed to investigate how teachers respond to children in death-related situations. When black and nonblack teachers were compared, no differences were evident in attitudes toward death or belief in an afterlife. However, significant differences appeared in the responses they chose to children's grief. Possible reasons for the observed differences and guidelines for future research are offered.

Dieting Behaviors

To increase academic performance in children, elementary school personnel are encouraged to focus on socio-emotional learning. Better classroom management and safer environments, exempt of bullying and particularly of weight-related bullying, appear like ways of fostering socio-emotional learning in children. However, some school personnel’s characteristics could impact their ability to act on these dimensions. This research is interested in how weightrelated intervention behaviors, self-esteem and sense of self-efficacy vary according to school personnel’s dieting behaviors and weight perception are related to their self-esteem, sense of self-efficacy, and intervention behaviors on weight-related bullying. A total of 164 Canadian participants filled in questionnaires focusing on bullying, self-esteem, and sense of self-efficacy. Results show that most school personnel felt competent to manage their group of students and to intervene on weight-related bullying. Those who were on a diet and who perceived their weight as higher seem significantly more involved in promoting motivation for school and learning engagement in their students as well as more likely to intervene with the bully when encountering weight-related bullying situations. For their part, participants of normal weight who were on a diet had a significantly lower self-esteem than those dieting and having a perception of overweight. These results are encouraging because they suggest that elementary school personnel feel competent with regards to the socioemotional learning of their students and is actively involved in providing them a safe learning environment.
