CHAPTER ONE OUTLINE WITH NOTES l l l l



What Do I Need to Know about Today’s Elementary Schools? l l l l l l l l l




Note 1-1: Provide students with an orientation to the format of the textbook. Mention especially the
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


objectives and visual chapter organizer listed at the beginning of each chapter. These can be used as
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


purposes for the reading and study of each chapter. Also, call attention to the end-of-chapter materials and
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


suggested readings. Students should also be made aware of the exercises, photographs, vignettes, and
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


other study aids within each chapter. The Looking at Teachers section at the start and end of each chapter in
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


the resource guide are useful to facilitate discussion about the content of each chapter.
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


Although not included in the text, a useful exercise to assign to students at completion of each chapter
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


would be the following:
l l l l


Select one of the topics listed on the Visual Chapter Organizer from the chapter. Research it beyond
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


what is discussed in the text and write a one page essay explaining why this is important information
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


to know as a beginning elementary school teacher. Share your essay with members of your class for
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


their thoughts. l l




Note 1-2: Students should become familiar with the various types of specialized schools. On page 4 of
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


lthis chapter is a presentation about the various types that exist today, such as the magnet school,
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


lCore Knowledge school (see http://www.newspiritschool.com), open education school, year-round
l l l l l l l l


lschool, school that focuses on individualized learning, charter school, full-service school, Basic School
l l l l l l l l l l l l


l(see http://www.soe.vt.edu/basicschool/about.html), and so forth. The T. J. Pappas Schools (Phoenix
l l l l l l l l l l


and Tempe, AZ) are two K-5 and one middle schools that are comprised entirely of homeless
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


lchildren. For further information about full-service schools, see: l l l l l l l

l l l l l




THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: GETTING TO KNOW IT
l l l l l l



Primary and Elemiddle Schools l l l




Note 1-3: From critics believing that there is not enough academic rigor and questioning whether
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l



separating students ages 12-14 from younger children is more academically appropriate, the middle
l l l l l l l l l l l l l



school concept has been under scrutiny. See the themed issue of Middle School Journal
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l



(November 2003). One article from this issue is J.H. Lounsbury and G.F. Vars. “The Future of Middle l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l



Level Education: Optimistic and Pessimistic Views.” In September, 2005, Middle School Journal did a
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l



lthemed issue, K-8 Settings or Separate Schools: Is There a Best Way to Educate Young l l l l l l l l l l l l l l



Adolescents? An informative article was H. Mizell’s, “Grade Configurations for Educating Young
l l l l l l l l l l l l



Adolescents Are Still Crazy After All These Years.” Other resources are A. W. Jackson &
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


G.A. Davis. (2000). Turning Points 2000: Educating Adolescents in the 21st Century. Williston, VT:
l l l l l l l l l l l l l


Teachers College Press. Other useful articles that set the stage for the discussion are J. A. Beane,
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


“Middle Schools Under Siege: Points of Attack,” Middle School Journal 30(4-9):3-6 (March 1999) and
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


J. A. Beane, “Middle Schools Under Siege: Responding to the Attack,” Middle School Journal 30(5):3- 6
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


(May 1999).
l l




Magnet Schools and Charter Schools l l l l


Orientation Meetings for Teachers
l l l l




Note 1-4: An informative exercise, not included in this text, would be to have students collect and compare
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


mission statements from schools in their geographic area. How are statements of various types of
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


elementary schools (e.g., charter, primary, elemiddle, magnet, private, full-service community) similar and
l l l l l l l l l l l l


how do they differ? Some students might be interested in searching for similar statements from schools of
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


decades past and then comparing the mission statements of today’s elementary schools with those of past
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


years.
l




School Schedules l




Note 1-5: Sample teacher schedules are shown in Figure 1.2 (page. 7). Not included in this text, but an
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


informative exercise nonetheless would be to have students collect and compare school calendars and
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


schedules from schools in their geographic area.
l l l l l l l




Note 1-6: Although researchers have yet to show a direct correlation between learning and
l l l l l l l l l l l l l


length of the school year, as a matter of interest and a possible point for class discussion, your
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


students may be interested in the following 2010 data showing comparisons of the number of
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


days of the school year for various countries, especially since there has been some movement in
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


lthis country to extend the school year beyond the usual 180 days.
l l l l l l l l l l l


Japan = 243 Israel = 216
l Netherlands = 200
l France = 185 USA = 180 l l l l l l l l


South Korea = 220
l Thailand = 200
l England = 192 New Zealand = 190 l l l l l l l l l
