Labor Studies Journal

Papers from a conference at the Univ. of Kansas, Oct. 1986. The limits of knowledge about language and the acquisition process are plain when attempts are made to help children who need explicit teaching. These papers synthesize current knowledge and approaches and address language content, learner characteristics, and teaching and learning strategies. A study of 260 New York case decisions in which tenured teachers have been charged with incompetence or conduct unbecoming a professional. Gross (labor law and arbitration, NY State School of Industrial and Labor Relations) demonstrates the need for clear and equitable criteria to evaluate teachers. Annotation c.
