The History of HIV/AIDS
Imagine a disease that was usually fatal and could spread each and every time two people have sex. Now imagine that that disease progressed so slowly that it took an average of ten years from the time of infection until the infected person's death, sometimes as much as twenty years. Let's also imagine that the disease was caused by a virus so small, a mere 130 millionth of a millimeter in diameter, that if it was magnified several times, it still could not be seen with the naked eye. And what if the disease affected mostly people in the prime of their lives, rather than at the end of their years? And what if the disease produced hideous symptoms like purplish blotches on the skin, extreme fatigue, and severe weight loss? And imagine that disease was new and spreading around the world at an alarming rate, infecting tens of millions of people.

  Adult Learning and Development
Educational Psychology: Adult Learning and Development
The earliest roots of educational psychology's interest in adult learning can be traced to the World War I, when a committee of prominent psychologists, led by Robert Yerkes, was appointed by the American Psychological Association to create mental aptitude measures to be used in the war effort ( Anastasi, 1988). The purpose of these tests, which came to be called the Army Alpha and Army Beta tests, was to classify young adult conscripts with regard to their intellectual abilities. Following World War II, there was a dramatic increase in the numbers of adults enrolling in postsecondary education, primarily as a result of the GI Bill. Participation in all forms of adult education doubled in size from 1924 to 1950 ( Pressey & Kuhlen, 1957).

  American Education Reform
American Education Reform
...President Reagan proposed tax credits to parents for sending their children to private school and wanted to present vouchers to those who could not afford private school, both proposals removing even more money from public schools. The Reagan administration went so far with cuts in education as to propose that the free-lunch and reduced lunch programs count ketchup as a vegetable (Toch, 23). Reagan's advisors received word about a new report that would undermine the President's views on education. They tried to have it thrown off the congressional agenda but only succeeded in delaying the inevitable. On April 26, 1983 Secretary of Education, Terrell Bell, presented A Nation at Risk, researched and written by many of education's top scholars, to Congress.

  Bilingual Education
Bilingual Education Debate
According to the U.S. Department of Education website a bilingual education program is “an educational program for limited English proficient students”. Furthermore, the term ‘limited English proficient’, when used with respect to an individual, means an individual whose primary language is other than English and whose difficulties in speaking, reading, writing, or understanding the English language may be sufficient to deny the individual the ability to successfully achieve in classrooms where the language of instruction is English or the opportunity to participate fully in society. In the 50 states of the United States, proponents of the practice argue that it will help to keep non-English-speaking children from falling behind their peers in while they master English. Opponents of bilingual education argue that it delays students' mastery of English, thereby retarding the learning of other subjects as well. In California there has been considerable politicking for and against bilingual education. Much of the argument against hinges on the idea that California is in the United States and that everyone in the US should learn to speak English (although it is not the official language—there isn't one). In 1968 U.S. Congress first mandated bilingual education in order to give immigrants access to education in their “first” language. There are two different approaches to this form of instruction. One is called ‘bilingual education’ and it involves teaching in the students’ first language and also English. The other is known as an ‘immersion program’ where the teachers instruct predominantly in English, and use the students’ native language only for explanations.

  Multicultural Education
Multicultural Education in America
The historical and current trends in multicultural education reflect the disparate histories and status of racial, ethnic, and cultural groups in this country. People have entered the continent now called "North America" under a variety of circumstances. The most common theory (although alternative ones are currently emerging) is that the earliest human inhabitants migrated from Asia over an ice mass (where the Bering Strait now exists) that connected Asia and the North American continent during an ice age or another time when the sea receded. When people first migrated to the Americas is a topic of much debate (Banks, 1991). As groups came, however, they settled in different locations all over North America, and many continued to move into Central and South America.

  School Violence
Violence in Schools
Although most schools are still considered safe places where children can learn, there is a growing concern about the increasing violence reported in our schools. The recent shootings in Jonesboro, Arkansas; Edinboro, Pennsylvania; West Paducah, Kentucky; and Littleton, Colorado, have alarmed teachers, administrators, students, and the public in general. Over a period of fifty years, youth crime has risen and fallen with relatively modest curves demonstrating that youth violence is not something new. However, youth homicide increased 144 percent from 1984 to 1994 (Dohrn, 1997).

  Sex Education
Sexuality Education in Schools
For almost a century, schools have developed programs aimed at reducing sexual behaviors which place youth at risk of pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). In the early 1900s, concern surfaced that young people were having sex prior to marriage and that venereal disease was increasing. Believing that accurate information about venereal disease would prevent youth from engaging in sex, schools introduced sex education.

  Sociology of Education
Sociology of Education
The institution of education in the Western world is as old as Greek antiquity. Greek city-states maintained academies within which youth were taught the arts and sciences of the times and prepared both physically and mentally for leadership roles in the society and economy of their generation. Sociologist Emile Durkheim founded the modern concept of education as the transmission of culture in his writings on the institution at the turn of the nineteenth century.

  Special Education
The Origin of Special Education
Many historians trace the modern special education movement to World War II, for it was during this conflict that many soldiers with no congenital or childhood diseases or disabilities became severely and profoundly disabled. These newly disabled veterans returning in large numbers challenged the American medical community, leading to breakthroughs in understanding and treatment. Meeting the challenge was aided by rapid technological advancement.

  Standardized Tests
Standardized Testing
Most standardized tests include a wide variety of material related to the design and implementation of district testing programs. Basic to the design of any testing program is specifying the test purpose. Despite the recent emphasis placed on such tests as measures for accountability, the most prominent uses of standardized tests, according to the manuals that accompany them, have to do with their formative use in improving instruction and learning. For example, standardized tests are likely to be given in the fall or spring of the school year and are likely to be administered by classroom teachers.

  Team-Teaching
Team-Teaching Methods
While teaching alone is certainly the norm in most colleges, a growing number of colleges and universities provide at least occasional opportunities for team teaching; and a few colleges, such as Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, are organized almost entirely around collaborative teaching and learning. Recent research indicates that interest in team teaching, faculty collaboration, and interdisciplinary education is increasing. Still, the barriers to collaboration are often substantial. Most aspects of the prevailing culture are built around a model of the teacher as an isolated individual. These notions are reinforced in the culture of the classroom. At the same time, there is widespread recognition that we need to cultivate the ability to work together in both the academy and the workplace, and there is increasing interest in approaches that amplify energy and learning by bringing people together. Team teaching is one strategy for achieving this, but it is pursued for a variety of different purposes and takes many shapes and forms.

  The Value of College Education
College Education Value
...In some businesses a prerequisite, for a promotion is that you have some type of degree related to that business. Sometimes there is a disadvantage of having a college education depending on the geographical location of where you live. For instance, some small towns, that don't have many businesses, have the same people that have been working for them for years, without a college degree. If a young person who just got out of college tried to get a job, they may be discriminated against because of their higher education. These employers may see them as a threat because they would want to get paid more, or they may think that person might take their job. Some get left behind and some get chosen. Then you have your prominent small towns, where they only want college educated people, to be doctors, lawyers, or someone with a higher education to continue running the family business.

  Urban Education
History of Urban Education
Those who have studied such matters are in agreement that urban education-the long and arduous training of youth in cultural and political decorum--is an outgrowth of the state's need to condition the minds of its citizens. Urban education has a history and reason for being. It is common in many societies but especially noticeable in modern industrialist systems, where it must prepare students for an impersonal and uncertain future in the labor market.
