Text to be written at 4th to 8th grade level. - to implement the text into ABE classes with 15 students during project year 1993-94. - to provide text to other Adult Centers as requested upon completion. Procedures: The project included the research of available government publications and the development of a handbook. The participatory activities in the unit review included vocabulary, maps, illustrations and a glossary. The text consists of approximately 150 pages.. The handbook was implemented in ABE classes with a minimum of 15 students and will be provided to other Adult Centers as requested.This handbook is intended for the adult ABE students, ESL students, adults who may be preparing for citizenship, and adults reading at lower-levels seeking detailed information about Pennsylvania Government. Summary of Findings: The project was beneficial for the students. They were able to quickly locate information Students were very interested in the duties of various agencies and asked questions about obtaining employment in the agency. This handbook became a brief overview of various agencies duties. Legal issues and local government structure chapters enabled students to become better equipped to handle their problems in these areas. Some of the information students used were: how taxes are levied, what happens for non-payment of taxes and the duties of a landlord of a rental property. Comment: The chapter on state agencies was the most difficult to research and to write because information was difficult to obtain. Two original drafts were (.rented. The first contairsd greater detail and a more lengthy explanation of agency responsibilities while the second contained a simpler, less detailed description.Student/instructor discussions revealed that students remembered the simpler descriptions which were then used. Product: A handbook containing five units, 20 chapters, and 150 pages written at 4th to 8th grade level. 3 Pennsylvania Government: A Handbook for Citizens 1 Table of Contents Abstract 1 introduction 3 Statement of Problem 5 Goals and Otijectives 6 Procedures 7 Objectives Achieved 9 Conclusions 10 Recommendations 12 Bibliography 13 Appendix 14 4 Pennsylvania Government: A Handbook for Citizens 2 introduction This project addressed Section 353 Priority B.3. "Special "1"1 .1- WO , el-11.44 Curricula Several topic areas were covered: English as a Second Language; Basic Skills Areas (reading, math, writing, etc.); and Education for Multicultural Populations. The purpose of this project was to develop a comprehensive text on Pennsylvania government structure and taxes written on a lower reading level for Adult Basic Education students. This handbook is intended to fill a void in available materials on Pennsylvania government. The audience for the handbook is adult ABE students, ESL students, adults who may be preparing for citizenship and adults reading at lower-levels who need more detailed information about Pennsylvania government. Instructors had requested Pennsylvania local government materials at the 4th to 8th grade reading level for social studies and reading classes. Current handbooks are written for a nationwide audience and do not provide indepth information about Pennsylvania. Local government information contained in these texts is often not available or does not apply to Pennsylvania. Interest in activities of the state and local government has been increasing among the adult students. Some of this interest has been the result of increased media coverage of various governmental agencies such as tax collectors being indicted for embezzlement. Other issues such as national health care or welfare reform also resulted in greater student awareness of problems. Numerous questions arose during class discussions concerning government agencies. Limited information was available to instructors that would enable them to answer student questions. Pennsylvania Government: A Handbook for Citizens 3 In addition, instructors wanted an easy-to-read text that would answer simple questions and provide opportunities for further discussion. Illustrations of governmental structure would be helpful to students and were also requested. The time frame for the project was July 1, 1993 to June 30, 1994. Objectives of the project included the research of available government publications and the development of a handbook containing 5 units and 20 chapter which would be suitable for use with social studies and reading classes for adults. Participatory activities were included in the unit review to encourage student interest. Pennsylvania Government: A Handbook for Citizens was administered by the Tuscarora Intermediate Unit 11. The Tuscarora Intermediate Unit is a local education agency which provides educational and management services to 9 school districts and 3 area vocational- technical schools in Fulton, Huntingdon, Juniata and Mifflin counties.

  • HABS Historical Reports: Outline Format (Example No
    HISTORIC AMERICAN BUILDINGS SURVEY U. S. POST OFFICE (Crown American Corporation Building) HABS No. PA-5390 Location: 131 Market St., southeast corner of Locust and Market streets, Johnstown, Cambria County, Pennsylvania. Present Owner/ Occupant: Crown American Corporation. Present Use: Office building. Significance: This was the first building in Johnstown designed specifically to serve as a post office, by John Knox Taylor, supervising architect of the Treasury. A grand example of the Greek Revival commercial style, the design of the post office represents the optimism felt about Johnstown in the first decades of the twentieth century. PART I. HISTORICAL INFORMATION A. Physical History: 1. Date of erection: 1912-1914. The Supervising Architect of the U.S. Treasury signed the official proposal drawing for the structure on May 1, 1911. Construction began on April 26, 1912, and the building was occupied on January 16, 1914. 2. Architect: James Knox Taylor. Taylor was supervising architect of the U.S. Treasury between 1897 and 1912. Under his tenure, the office of the supervising architect was responsible for the construction and maintenance of all government buildings. 3. Original and subsequent owners: U.S. government, 1914 to 1968; Crown American Corporation, 1968 to present. 4. Original and subsequent occupants: After the post office left the building in 1938, the U.S. government used the Market Street building as office space for various agencies. The 1938 city directory lists the occupant as the Works Progress Administration; in 1943 the building was vacant. From 1951 to 1965 the Veterans Administration was the major tenant, with various agencies such as the Internal Revenue Service, Selective Service, Bureau of Mines, and U.S.
