SJSU Judo History JUDO AT SAN JOSE STATE UNIVERSITY In 1937, the Police School at San Jose State University saw the advantages of Judo and added the sport to their curriculum. In 1940 they asked Yosh Uchida to teach the class as a student coach. Uchida taught for 2 years before entering the Service in 1942. Upon his return in 1946, he resumed his teaching career at San Jose State on a part-time basis, while pursuing his degree in biology. In 1964, Judo became recognized as an Olympic sport and Yosh Uchida became the first U.S. Olympic Judo Coach. Two of the four U.S. Olympic Team Members, Ben Nighthorse Campbell and Paul Maruyama, were coached by Uchida at San Jose State. Ben Nighthorse Campbell is now a U.S. Senator representing the state of Colorado. Paul Maruyama is now a retired Air Force Colonel and coached the 1980 and 1984 U.S. Olympic Judo Teams In 1975, women were added to the Judo program. As a team, the men and women at San Jose State University have set the pace for U.S. Judo and have become a leader in the sport both nationally and internationally. Coach Yosh Uchida's collegiate record is phenomenal. The San Jose State University Judo Team has won 36 out of 39 National Collegiate Team Titles. At the international scene, San Jose State University judokas have gained more medals (Olympic, World Championship, World University Game and Pan American Game Medals) than the rest of the United States.

The report says “teacher preparation programs are failing” (p. viii, Meeting the Highly Qualified Teachers Challenge ) at producing the kinds of teachers the nation requires. Our view is that Title II data support a different conclusion. Title II data show that most programs graduate teachers who meet today’s state licensing requirements.

However, the U.S. Department of Education has just released a report, Meeting the Highly Qualified Teachers Challenge, which differs in its conclusions. The report says that teacher preparation institutions should reduce the emphasis on the 'how to teach' portion of their programs, and that states should revamp state licensing requirements to eliminate much of the clinical education 'how to teach' experiences in teacher training programs. This conclusion does not square with the America public's ideas on what is needed to produce high quality teachers for the nation's schools.

Home Missouri Teacher Certification History Missouri has come a long way from the time when the county school commissioner issued a one-year certificate to a teacher after he had "determined the teacher's moral character and his ability to teach the principles of justice and a sacred regard for truth"from the time a person with an eighth-grade education could pass a county teachers' exam and teach in one of the 10,000 school districts in the stateschools with such descriptive names as "Loafer's Glory", "Dry and Dusty", and one in rural Taney County, named for the three men who donated land and building materials for a school and who just happened to have the same first name, the "Three Johns School." The new Missouri Constitution of 1865 gave the elected State Superintendent of Education the power to "examine teachers and to grant teaching certificates." Until 1945 the Board of Education included heads of other departments in state government. The 1945 Missouri Constitution established an eight-member, bi-partisan State Board of Education, appointed by the governor and approved by the Senate. The State Board appoints the Commissioner of Education. The preparation, certification, and continuing education of Missouri teachers are vital concerns of the State Board of Education. The competence of the teacher is of fundamental importance and makes the difference between quality and mediocre education. It is one of the duties of the State Board to set standards to lead the way toward constant improvement of teacher education and certification.

(Free Press photo by Patricia Beck) Teachers give women a place in history Female educators add what textbooks lack March 1, 1999 BY MARYANNE GEORGE AND PATRICIA MONTEMURRI Free Press Staff Writers To teach women's history, Gladys McKenney turns dolls into positive role models. Jane Sauchak, a learning specialist at Nankin Mills Elementary School in Livonia, sends students to the Internet. Gail Ryder, a teacher at Dominican High School in Detroit, will ferry her women's literature class to the Michigan Women's Historical Center in Lansing. National Women's History Month begins today, and from McKenney's handiwork to computerized Web sites, women's history is more accessible. McKenney, a retired teacher from Rochester, tours the state with porcelain dolls she crafted to resemble historic women and a quilt bearing suffragists' portraits to teach what she says many textbooks leave out about women's accomplishments. "When I was teaching, I got calls from young girls who were contemplating suicide because they had such low self-esteem," said McKenney, 71.

75. A Brief History Of Library Instruction In The United States Of America Paper traces the development of library instruction in the United states in the 19th and 20th Centuries.Category Reference Libraries user Services Library Instruction...... Throughout most of history librarians have been members As the United state's highereducation system is academic library instruction practitioners in the us. http://www.libraryreference.org/lihistory.html

A Brief History of Library Instruction in the United States of America Michael Lorenzen, M.L.S, M.Ed. It is likely that librarians have always to a limited degree been involved in classroom teaching. For example, it is hard to imagine that the librarians at the Great Library of Alexandria did not assemble from time to time small groups of students and visiting scholars and instruct them on the proper handling and use of the valuable scrolls that resided there. Throughout most of history librarians have been members of other professions (the clergy and scholars of various disciplines) who took on the additional duty of maintaining the library collection of their institutions. It is highly likely that these individuals introduced library concepts into their regular lectures pertaining to their area of expertise. Unfortunately, no written record appears to exist detailing how library instruction in the classroom was carried out or how often it was conducted. German library literature records various examples of library instruction from the 17th to 19th Centuries. Ewert (1986) gave a summary of this literature and detailed where the library instruction occurred, who generally was conducting it, and what was covered. Unfortunately, the article was written in communist East Germany and most of the examples are tied into how these instruction sessions ultimately aided the climate of revolution against capitalism. This makes it difficult to determine what the curriculum of the classes was or how many non-revolutionary library instruction examples may have occurred. Regardless, it shows that a tradition of library instruction in academic institutions had developed in Germany prior to the its origins in the United States in the late 19th Century. As the United State's higher education system is based on the German model, this may have influenced the earliest academic library instruction practitioners in the US.
