Item Bilingüismo en Inmigrantes Adultos: Conceptos Fundamentales y Experiencias Pedagógicas(Editorial Kinesis, 2018-12-28) Galindo, Angelmiro; Larrotta, ClarenaThis book presents an overview of theoretical issues, foundational concepts, and pedagogical experiences fostering the bilingual education of adult immigrants within the context of the United States, more specifically South Central Texas. The focal participants in the research presented here are adult English learners and their teachers. Many books have been written to address the bilingual development of immigrant children within school context; however, literature discussing the bilingual development of adult immigrants is scant. The present book provides an updated discussion of different theories related to bilingualism and how they apply to adults who are immigrants and who are at different stages of bilingual development. The overall purpose of the book is to establish a close connection between theory and practice useful to graduate students, educators, and practitioners in the fields of bilingual education with focus on adults, adult education, second/foreign language teaching, and adult literacy.Item Coordinator's Report, German Teacher Training Program at the Southwest Texas State Teachers College, 1953-54(Southwest Texas State Teachers College, 1954-01) Rogers, J. LloydThis is the story of the program carried on at the Southwest Texas State Teachers College in San Marcos, from October 5, 1953 to January 29, 1954, for nineteen elementary teachers from West Germany. The program was under the immediate direction of the Division of International Education of the U.S. Office of Education, with Mr. Kenneth Bateman as the specialist for this particular program; the general program was sponsored by the Educational Exchange Service of the U.S. Department of State. From West Germany to Southwest Texas, SWTSTC San Marcos, 1954 [pt.1], Coordinator's Report.Item Creating Custodial Classes: An Instructional Program Guide for Custodial Workers(1992-01) McBride, Pamela G.; Engel, Jonathan C.; Caverly, David C.This program guide documents a custodial job family curriculum that develops competence in generic work force education skills through business writing/clerical skills and reading and writing courses. An annotated table of contents lists a brief description of the questions answered in each section. An introduction presents a program abstract and a guide overview. The remainder of the guide is structured according to the four stages in the process of setting up a work force instructional program: partnership building, curriculum development, actual instruction, and evaluation. A detailed table of contents to each section outlines the steps involved in completing each stage. The section on developing partnerships identifies some key partners and structures for achieving their involvement. The section on developing curriculum describes some structures for assessing and organizing input from a variety of sources. The section on teaching the class presents a curricular model with specific examples of daily classroom activities. The section on assessment and evaluation describes a variety of assessment tools and discusses their advantages and disadvantages. The conclusions section offers a preliminary analysis of the program's results and summary of program effectiveness. Appendixes include sample course outlines and lesson plans, registration and evaluation forms, and a selected bibliography divided into work force skills (59 items), background theory (47), and practitioner resources (20).Item Developing Professionalism in the Child Care Industry: An Instructional Program Guide for Child Care Workers(Southwest Texas State University, 1992-01) Johnson, Ann; Werner, Patrice H.; Caverly, David C.Workforce education, as distinguished from job training, emphasizes instruction in learning how to learn because of the swiftly changing nature of the workplace today. Our focus through the Workforce Instructional Network (WIN) was to work with small businesses in a small town to design instruction aimed at improving the literacy skills of individuals currently in the workforce. We accomplished this by forming a partnership between Southwest Texas State University (SWT), the San Marcos Chamber of Commerce, and the San Marcos Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. The success of our project supports the use of a process-oriented education model which emphasizes transferable skills presented in a series of mini-courses from five to fifteen weeks. In order to develop our curriculum according to an education model, we identified those generic workforce education skills underlying job families rather than concentrating solely on the content knowledge needed for a particular job. Through developing competence with these skills, we hope to have equipped workers for future job changes, many of which cannot even be anticipated in the fast-moving business environment of today. Moreover, these newly developed literacy skills will provide a strong foundation from which the workers can educate themselves given new workforce education demands, resulting in future training savings to the businesses involved. This future efficiency aspect is particularly relevant to small businesses which often rely on on-the-job training by supervisors and co-workers rather than maintaining training staffs.Item German Teacher Program. II: Southwest Texas State Teachers College, 1954(Southwest Texas State Teachers College, 1954-01) Rogers, J. LloydFor the second year the Southwest Texas State Teachers College in San Marcos has had the privilege of participating in the International Teacher Education Program administered by the U.S. Office of Education in cooperation with the Department of State. Twenty elementary teachers from Germany have been assigned to this campus from September 19 to December 20, 1954. This is a report of the activities carried on for and by this group. From West Germany to Southwest Texas, SWTSTC San Marcos, 1954 [pt.3].Item Manufacturing Math Classes: an Instructional Program Guide for Manufacturing Workers(Southwest Texas State University, 1992-01) McBride, Pamela G.; Engel, Jonathan C.; Caverly, David C.In keeping with our process-oriented approach to workforce education, this guide was designed to document our Manufacturing Workers Job Family curriculum from the three classes for manufacturing workers. These classes can be a model for many others since the literacy tasks identified are common to many manufacturing environments. For example, workers in our classes were drawn from plants producing heat-conductive wire, oil-field machine parts, and business forms. We conceptualized the process of setting up a workforce instructional program as having several stages: the stages of partnership building and curriculum development before classes begin, the stage of actual instruction, and feedback and evaluation stages during and after instruction. This guide is structured according to these stages in the life of our grant-funded program. An annotated table of contents at the beginning of the guide lists a brief description of the questions to be answered in each section. At the beginning of each section, a more detailed table of contents outlines the steps involved in completing each phase of our grant.Item Promising Practices in Developmental Education(Texas State University, The Education Institute, 2017-01) Lujan, Denise; Barry, William J.; Trammell, Jack; Slentz Reynolds, Jessica; Sarker, Amber L.; Vrooman, Steven S.; Hodges, Russ; Acee, Taylor W.; Vice, Tasha; Caudle, Carolyn; Shetron, Tamara H.; Lussier, Kristie O'Donnell; Lutz, Holly; McConnell, Michael C.; Payne, Emily Miller; Ramirez, Ysabel; Hodges, Russ; Slentz Reynolds, Jessica; Sarker, Amber; Walker, LuannNo abstract prepared.Item Teaching Reading and Study Strategies at the College Level(International Reading Association, 1991-01) Flippo, Rona F.; Caverly, David C.This book provides a review of the theoretical, empirical, and instructional issues in the field of college reading and study strategies through a careful and systematic examination of the relevant literature.

Education in Texas represents more than four centuries of growth; the influence of Spain, France, Germany, England, and other nations in administration; the transmission of cultural elements; and the effects of social, industrial, and racial qualities through the years.
