As this issue appears, ten yearsfollowing the passage of the Library Systems Act, 550 public libraries (98.2% of 560 in the state) are members ofsystems. Of the 18 systems, which geographically cover the entire state and which are funded to serveall of its 11265,568 residents, 17 are cooperative library systems, consisting of from 17 to 70 memberpublic libraries. The Chicago Public Library is unique in the category of a library systemconsisting of a single public library serving a city of over500,000 The Library Systems Act (page 830) provides for a third category of library system,namely "a consolidated library system in which two or more public libraries consolidate toform a single library " However, to date no consolidated systems have developed. The statistical tables and the individual systems'annual reports give evidence of thediversity of library systems that environment, needs, organization, and resourcesof each system. It is a strength of Illinois' to address these the law under which they are organized andoperate allows for the flexibility necessary autonomy as is variances. The boards of trustees, drawnfrom the boards of member libraries, have such libraries and necessary to develop a system policy and programwhich is responsive to the needs of member residents_in the system area. The need for, and the possibility of, a statewide singlenetwork of all types of libraries has always been recognized by the Library Systems Act. During recent years,this recognition has been brought intosharp under the focus by the successful development of the network ofpublic library systems. It is expected that pressure of achieving economies whilesimultaneously responding to governmental andpublic demand for relationships now more service, a statewide single network willincreasingly become a common objective.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School Department of Adult Education THE MEANINGS OF TEACHING FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF EXEMPLARY AND EXPERIENCED TEACHERS A Dissertation in Adult Education by Janice E. Smith 2011 Janice E. Smith Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Education May 2011 ii The dissertation of Janice E. Smith was reviewed and approved* by the following: Patricia A. Cranton Professor of Adult Education Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Edward W. Taylor Professor of Adult Education Denise G. Meister Associate Professor of Education Gina Brelsford Assistant Professor of Psychology Gary Kuhne In Charge of Graduate Programs in Adult Education *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT A qualitative narrative inquiry that explores the meaning of teaching and the development of that meaning throughout the career of exemplary and experienced teachers in kindergarten- through-twelfth-grade (K-12) public schools was conducted. Exemplary teachers were operationalized in this study as any of the 12 teachers chosen each year by the state of Pennsylvania as finalists for Teacher of the Year. The research questions that guided this narrative inquiry are: Which, if any, of Kegan’s (1982, 1994) developmental plateaus can be identified as current or prior meaning-making systems for these exemplary and experienced teachers? What are the current meanings of teaching for these exemplary and experienced teachers? If these meanings have changed, what was the process of change as the meanings of teaching changed throughout their career? Was this process of change developmental? What contextual influences have supported or hindered the teachers’ meaning-making? Literature that explores constructive-developmental theory, connects it to adult education, and advocates a context for learning with an appropriate mix of challenge and support is reviewed.

  • Approaching the Promethean Idea in the Spring 2018 Semester
    Note from Capstone Director, Professor Leslie Donovan Sam Shoemaker-Trejo’s capstone project was to prepare and co-teach a 300-level Honor seminar titled Burning Life: Approaching the Promethean Idea in the Spring 2018 semester. Sam and I came up with the idea of the course as a means to provide junior-level Honors student with advanced skills in research and communicating that research for public audiences. As a result, the artifacts or products that give evidence for Sam’s capstone are somewhat different than those of other projects. Instead of performing original research, he read research on pedagogy and developed his own teaching style. He co-wrote the syllabus, co-prepared all in-class handouts and exercises, personally led 50% of our class sessions, commented on and collaborated in the grading of all assignments, and met with students individually. The artifacts collected here for future Honors Majors to consider are two works Sam was solely responsible for writing that somewhat summarize his capstone work and experience: a narrative story version of our more formal syllabus (distributed to students in the class after the forma syllabus had been discussed) and an end-of-the semester reflective paper summarizing the entire course. Burning Life: Approaching the Promethean Idea by Samuel Shoemaker-Trejo As a note to the reader of this syllabus: this story exists to clarify the structure and theory of the course, as well as to alleviate some of the malaise of the regular syllabus. It contains no dates or times, but I have bolded certain information that pertains directly to the order of assignments in the course.
