Walraven, Administrator in cooperation with Oklahoma Curriculum Improvement Commission William D. Can, Chairman Clifford Wright, Executive Secretary OKLAHOMA STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Scott Tuxhorn, Superintendent 1970 1) FOREWORD Educators are increasingly becoming aware that the earlier in a child's school life specialized training can be given for children with special needs, the greater the chance for success in the school experience for those children. There has been a concerted effort on the part of administrators, teachers, parents, and others to expand and improve special education facilities to care for all handicappedchildren who canprofit from a public school education. It is recognized that the educable mentally handicapped can become responsible, contributing members of our society. Itis also recognized that the degree of social adequacy and the extend of economic independence achieved by these children will depend largely on the skill of the teacher and the quality of special instruction available. This guid, has beenpreparedto provide information, suggestions for new techniques and methods, and materials that will be useful to the teachers of special education at the primary level. Itis my hope the guidt will be of value in providing the children in special education classes in Oklahoma with the most effective program to fit their special needs. Scott Tuxhorn State Superintendent of Public Instruction ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A number of agencies and individuals from all over Oklahoma made valuable contributions in the preparation of this Guide for Teachers of Educable Mentally Handicapped Children. The first Oklahoma Guides for Teachers of Educable Mentally Handicapped Children were published in 1959 and 1960. These publications helped meet a great need in this area of special education. Much credit is due all those who participated in the production of these guides; however, since their names appear in the 1959 and 1960 guides, it appears unnecessary to reprint them in this guide. The revision of this guide has been made by the members of the staff of the Special Education Section of the State Department of Education. The guide is an outstanding contribution to the welfare of mentally handicapped children. It is excellent in organitation and content. To all who participated in this production, I would like to express my appreciation. MAURICE P. WALK AVEN, Administrator State Special Education Section State Department of Education (This publication is made possible by funds from Title V, Section 503 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 through The Oklahoma Slate Department of Education.) t.

The guide is organized in a form consistent at three levels: (1) primary, (2) intermediate, and (3) secondary. It is published in three volumes. Each volume contains introductory and theoretical chapters common to all three levels, plus detailed suggestions for either primary, intermediate, or secondary curricula. The three volumes constitute an expanded revision of an earlier guide. The original material was considerably less detailed and was contair.ed in a single volume. The first publication was made available to all Oklahoma teachers of exceptional children and workers In related areas. As a result of this trial period of use, the committee responsible for the present revision received many valuable suggestions and materials. Many of these suggested activities and teaching aids were incorporated into the present guide. The first guide was never interied to be a final product. It was felt that all teac'ier. of mentally handicapped children should have the opportunity to partittpate in a production of this type. In spite of the greatly expanded contents of the present revision. these volumes remain tentative, and it is hoped that periodic revisions will be possible. Those who use these materials are urged to critically evaluate them in terms of new demands created by the state program for mentally handicapped children. Use of the Guide The various activities contained in each of these volumes should be of practical value since they represent the thinking of many teachers and are derived from actual classroom activities.Itis hoped that the materials contained herein will be useful in providing for the total academic, soc:al, and personal growth of children. Since the education of mentally handicapped children requires a highly individualized approach, many of the ideas found in this guide will require modification In order to be useful in a given situation. The guide is also developmental in nature, hence, there is an overlapping in concepts from one level to anothir. Many of the ideas introduced at one lis-t4 are continuous and should be modified in relation to the child's mental, physical, and social development. The function of the guide will be determined by some of the following factors: 1. Site and type of class. 2. Composition of the class. 2. Experience of the teacher. 4. Physical facilities. b. Availaoility of materials. 6. School and cos'nmsnity resources. 1 A Guide for Teachers of Educable Mentally Handicapped Children Classeswill vary greatlyrelative tosize, type, and composition. Curricula discuried at the primary, intermediate, and secondary levels are flexible. While grouping along similar lines, at least is desirable, schools vary greatly in their teaching practices. Naturally the greatest number of special classes for the mentally handicapped are to be found in the larger schools. Where a large number of classes exist in a given school system, more homogenous grouping is possible, and these classes are likely organized along the lines described above. Smaller programs, on the other hand, most frequently provide for the handicapped in one or two classrooms, The size of the program and the number of classes are determined largely by the finances available, the availability of teachers, and the number of children in the community eligible for special classes. The composition of theclassesrelativeto socioeconomic and educational experiences, sex differences, and interpersonal relationships within the group bears an important relationship to many of the activities covered by these volumes. Physical facilities and the availability of certain materials are major considerations In adopting certain procedures. Many of the ideas contained herein assume the availability of such factors a maximum space

Running Head: OUTDOOR LEARNING IN EARLY CHILDHOOD 1 Outdoor Learning in Early Childhood Holly Hooven April 24, 2017 Northwestern College Running Head: OUTDOOR LEARNING IN EARLY CHILDHOOD 2 Abstract Play is a skill that comes naturally to every child. Children love to explore and investigate. They do this to find answers to the questions they have and obtain through other experiences such as talking with parents, other children, as well as reading through books. Play is important for many developmental skills such as building on fine motor, cognitive development, and more. While many parents and teachers observe their children, or students, play within the indoors, many children are not getting a lot of outdoor time. Outdoor play is as important as indoor play. Outdoor play allows a child to be one self and take lead of his or her own learning. Children are also building on large motor skills as they jump, skip, and hop around the outdoor play area.

    South African Journal of Education, Volume 37, Number 3, August 2017 1 Art. # 1395, 17 pages, https://doi.org/10.15700/saje.v37n3a1395 The effect of a school-based outdoor education program on Visual Arts teachers’ success and self-efficacy beliefs Cigdem Hursen and Didem Islek Division of Curriculum and Instruction, Ataturk Faculty of Education, Near East University, Turkey [email protected] The aim of this research is to determine the effect of an education programme developed based on the school-based outdoor education approach on the academic achievement of visual arts teachers, as well as their self-efficacy beliefs for using museums and the natural environment. The aim is likewise to explore the views of the teachers on the implementation of the education programme. The study, which utilised a mixed method of qualitative and quantitative data collection, lasted for seven weeks. The results demonstrate that the developed programme is effective. At the end of the study, a significant difference was revealed in terms of the participant teachers’ knowledge and skills regarding the approach as well as their self-efficacy belief levels in relation to the use of museums and the outdoors as teaching environments. Face-to-face interviews conducted with the teachers who participated in the experimental practice revealed that they were satisfied with the experience. Keywords: Edmodo; mixed method; school-based outdoor education; teacher’s views; visual art Introduction Outdoor education in teaching and learning is being increasingly used as an effective approach for the realisation of activities related to active learning and for the instruction of abstract concepts (Bilasa & Arslangilay, 2016; Çelik & Kasapoğlu, 2014; Öztürk Aynal, 2013; Preston, 2014; Price, 2015).

  • Arts, Health and Physical Education Correlation Visual and Performing Arts Framework Components and Curriculum Applications
    Arts, Health and Physical Education Correlation Visual and Performing Arts Framework Components and Curriculum Applications The California State Department of Education Visual and Performing Arts Framework (1996) specifies that, "Each of the arts disciplines – dance, music, theatre, and the visual arts – maintains a rich body of knowledge that enable students to understand their world in ways that support and enhance their learning in other core subjects. In addition, through this rich body of knowledge, students learn how each of the arts contributes to their own sensitivity of the aesthetic quality of life. Students learn to see what they look at, hear what they listen to, feel what they touch, and understand more clearly what they integrate into their own experience" (page 2). The components of a visual and performing arts curriculum include: artistic perception; creative expression; historical and cultural context; and aesthetic valuing. The unique natural environment of outdoor schools provides students with a variety of aesthetic experiences and opportunities for creative expression. Sections of the four major content areas described in the Visual and Performing Arts Framework have been identified as important in a residential outdoor education program. These include components in: dance, drama/theatre, music, and visual arts. Students at an outdoor school often participate in skits, campfire songs, and nature crafts. Examples of Outdoor Framework Visual and Performing Arts Components Education Curriculum and Page # Activities Goals of Visual and Performing Arts Participate in arts and crafts activities; skits, storytelling, and Artistic Perception: 6 songs during campfire.
