World History Standards Grades 5-12 History Standards Grades K-4 ... Catalog Overview The study of how the modern United States emerged begins with the Progressive era. It deserves careful study because, among other things, it included the nation's most vibrant set of reform ideas and campaigns since the 1830s-40s. Progressives were a diverse lot with various agendas that sometimes jostled uneasily, but all reformers focused on a set of corrosive problems arising from rapid industrialization, urbanization, waves of immigration, and business and political corruption. Students can be inspired by how fervently the Progressives applied themselves to the renewal of American democracy. They can also profit from understanding the distinctively female reform culture that contributed powerfully to the movement. Two of the problems confronted by Progressives are still central today. First, the Progressives faced the dilemma of how to maintain the material benefits flowing from the industrial revolution while bringing the powerful forces creating those benefits under democratic control and while enlarging economic opportunity. Second, Progressives faced the knotted issue of how to maintain democracy and national identity amid an increasingly diverse influx of immigrants and amid widespread political corruption and the concentration of political power. Of all the waves of reformism in American history, Progressivism is notable for its nearly all-encompassing agenda. As its name implies, it stood for progress, and that put it squarely in the American belief in the perfectible society.

New Jersey and Passaic Valley Sewerage Commissioners. However, the court says: The grave problem of sewage disposal presented by the large and growing populations living on the shores of New York Bay is one more likely to be wisely solved by cooperative study and by conference and mutual concession on the part of representatives of the States so vitaly interested in it than by proceedings in any court however constituted.

Meanwhile, the Corps of Engineers begins an investigation of oil pollution in harbors. The discussion between state and federal officials and industry representatives "revealed a general failure of the states to cope with many important problems," particularly oil waste, industrial waste and sewage that was threatening some varieties of migratory fish with extinction. "There was indicated a practically unanimous demand on the part of the states for assistance from the federal government,"

Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute Home The 1920s: The Rise of Consumer Culture by Burt Saxon Contents of Curriculum Unit 79.02.06: I. Content Objectives Laissez-Faire Conservative Triumphalist Consensus ... To Guide Entry I. CONTENT OBJECTIVES This unit is entitled The 1920s: The Rise of Consumer Culture . Economic, social, and cultural aspects of the 1920s will be examined. Three major questions will be considered: 1. To what degree was this decade a prosperous one? Which Americans shared in the prosperity? 2. What role did advertising and installment buying play in the development of the “consumer culture?” 3. How was the popular culture of the 1920s related to economic changes? Did different aspects of the “Roaring Twenties” affect different groups of people? if so, why? These questions do not appear to be difficult ones at first glance. It would seem that by gathering the appropriate data and analyzing that data objectively, one could answer the questions presented above. Yet the collection of historical data is an imperfect undertaking, while objectivity is at best an ideal. Historians, I would argue, tend to choose their data selectively; furthermore, the type of selectivity used is determined subjectively, not objectively. The historian’s beliefs about the subject he is studying determine methods and nature of data selection and hence the final historical analysis. Naturally this leads to competing viewpoints. These competing viewpoints make history an exciting subject to study, for in the last analysis, history is not data (“What happened?”) but moral and political philosophy (“What should the world be like?”)

NCES Describes U.S. Higher Education The U.S. National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES) collects a variety of data to describe the social, demographic, and economic trends affecting higher education in the United States. Traditionally, NCES has monitored patterns of institutional characteristics; more recently, however, the agency has added studies that track characteristics and performance of individual faculty and students. The result is a rich resource of large datasets describing the various constituencies in higher education, i.e. institutions, graduate and undergraduate students, and faculty. Some of the major datasets available from NCES are briefly described below. The major source of institutional information on higher education in the U.S. is the IPEDS (Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System) NCES also collects data describing students and faculty, their characteristics, and their achievements. These datasets are a rich source of information that may be of use to research libraries. The National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS) is a comprehensive, nationwide study of 70,000 undergraduate, graduate, and first-professional student demographics, family income, education expenses, employment, education aspirations, parental demographic characteristics, parental support, and how students and their families meet the costs of postsecondary education. In addition to describing characteristics of students enrolled in postsecondary education, the results are used in part to help determine future federal policies regarding student financial aid. NPSAS surveys were conducted in 1986-87, 1989-90, and 1992-93. NPSAS surveys are scheduled for 1995-96 and 2000-01.

The international cast of characters who turned the city into the liveliest in the world includes Matisse, Chagall, Picasso, Gertrude Stein, James Joyce, Coco Chanel, Cocteau, Ravel, Stravinsky, Satie, Poulenc, and Diaghilev. This seminar follows the emergence of the musical avant-garde in Paris, focusing on charismatic musicians Erik Satie and Francis Poulenc. Fleeing the excesses of German Romanticism and Symbolist sensuality, the two sought to fuse art with everyday life, to disregard the traditional separation between classical and popular music, and to collaborate with other artists, composers, writers, and performers.

Research Description: The primary focus of the NOAA Marine Ecosystem Response (MER) program is U.S. GLOBEC (GLOBal ocean ECosystem dynamics), an interagency (NSF and NOAA) program. Research goals are firstly to sort out natural variability from that due to anthropogenic change, and secondly to understand the relative effects of climate vs. overfishing on fish populations. Three regions have been selected for study: the northwest Atlantic/Georges Bank, the north Pacific Ocean, and the Antarctic. The Antarctic program is also in the planning process. When complete, an international and interagency program will be implemented involving 10 or more nations and three Federal agencies. Field work on krill, seabirds and mammals will begin no sooner than FY 1999.

Curriculum Publication Sales Education Policies Agency Web Sites ... Publications Social Studies Curriculum Grades 9-12 Introduction... Goals and Objectives:High School United States History Introduction The study of United States History builds on the eighth grade study of the History of North Carolina as an American State. From the eighth grade study of North Carolina History, students bring broad understandings of the founding and early national periods of our history. By having concentrated on the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in their eighth grade study, students of this course can logically place their emphasis on the twentieth century. From earlier studies of the Constitution and the American frame of government, students bring broad understandings on which this study can build. Consequently, it is appropriate that this study emphasize the economic, social, and political developments of the twentieth century. By the time students arrive at this study of United States History, they will have had significant exposure to world studies. Whether their perspectives are cultural, geographic, or historical, they bring these to their study of our own nation's history. They discern that the political institutions of the United States had their origins in Europe and that European political ideas in colonial and revolutionary British North America were adapted and expressed in the founding documents of the United States. As they study United States History, students realize that essentially European ideas of government and society have become American as our society has become much more diverse and complex.
