Extreme View

I Was Recently confronted with the assertion that teachers of mathematics would soon be seeking other fields as that subject was fast approaching a state of obsoleteness in the high school curriculum. This was of course an extreme view but nevertheless in line with the trend of opinion that makes necessary the justifying of the place of mathematics by reorganized and enriched teaching that will be adequate for our present type of high school pupil.

This article is presented in the hope of engaging debate on Palestine's cultural heritage in view of recommending a revision of the Palestinian high-school curriculum for the pre-Islamic history of Palestine. After a brief clarification of intent and an introduction to the current status of research on Palestine's history, brief summaries of the proposed curriculum are offered in chronological order: 1) the Stone Age; 2) the Bronze Age; 3) regional histories from Iron I to Alexander and 4) the Hellenistic Period. The presentation closes with a conclusion, followed by 3 appendices on early legendary figures in Palestinian history; on Palestinian place names and on the importance of structuring Palestine's history regionally.

Practical Nature

We report here on our efforts to incorporate linguistics into the high school curriculum in a large midwestern metropolitan area through a university-based initiative — Linguistics in High School (LxHS) — spearheaded by the Department of Linguistics at The Ohio State University. We offer a brief history of the project, and explain our strategy of targeting non-public schools and the practical nature of the reasoning behind this decision. We chronicle the ups and downs of our efforts, ultimately reporting on our success with implementing a linguistics course and a linguistics club at a small local STEM-oriented high school. This partnership between the school and the Linguistics Department has allowed, among other things, for on-site visits by the students to phonetics and sociolinguistics labs. By presenting our challenges, strategies, failures, and successes, we hope that others may be encouraged to evaluate how they can make a difference in their locale and with the resources they have.

This article reports the partial findings of a statewide survey of high school special education programs for students with mild disabilities. The focus of this article is on the curriculum. Three sources of information were tapped for this study: (a) special education administrators, (b) high school special education teachers, and (c) parents of high school students with mild disabilities. The return rates were very high: 91%, 89%, and 45% of the three groups, respectively. Four basic topics concerning the curriculum were investigated: (a) its focus and content, (b) discrepancies between availability and utilization, (c) barriers to mainstreaming, and (d) conditions required for improvement. Both data and recommendations with respect to these topics are presented.
