There are innumerable ways to disguise drill problems for junior high school students—using cross-number puzzles, bingo games, connect-the-dot pictures, and so on. However, older students usually find these methods childish and boring. In an effort to provide “fun” drills for senior high school algebra students, I drew on my experience in sports car rallies and made up a road map rally. It could be adapted to other classes simply by varying the problems involved.

This chapter identifies the specific issues that are unique to the string and orchestra teacher at the intermediate and high school levels, and provides content materials and case-study examples from practicing teachers as reference points and a road map for both current and future teachers of string methods courses. The chapter includes a review of research literature relevant to the conduct and teaching of collegiate music education methods courses and a review of existing syllabi from the string methods and techniques courses in 20 different universities, looking for common themes and elements to each of those courses. The chapter provides recommendations for current and future teacher trainers about the types of content (skills and knowledge) and activities that form the essential framework for collegiate methods courses.

High school cosmetology students study the methods and effects of various human hair treatments, including permanents, straightening, conditioning, coloring and cutting. Although they are provided with textbook examples of overtreatment and numerous hair disorders and diseases, a view of an individual hair at the high resolution offered by an SEM provides convincing evidence of the hair‘s altered structure. Magnifications up to 2000X provide dramatic differences in perspective. A good quality classroom optical microscope can be very informative at lower resolutions.Students in a cosmetology class are initially split into two groups. One group is taught basic controls on the SEM (focus, magnification, brightness, contrast, specimen X, Y, and Z axis movements). A healthy, untreated piece of hair is initially examined on the SEM The second group cements a piece of their own hair on a stub. The samples are dryed quickly using heat or vacuum while the groups trade places and activities.

A modification of the Paired-Stimuli Parent Program (Florance, 1977) was adapted for the treatment of articulatory errors of visually handicapped children. Blind high school students served as clinical aides. A discussion of treatment methodology, and the results of administrating the program to 32 children, including a two-year follow-up evaluation to measure permanence of behavior change, is presented.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to explore the ways in which adolescent students who stutter perceive their school experiences. Method This study used a qualitative, phenomenological research design. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 7 adolescent students who stutter (3 in middle school and 4 in high school). Participants were interviewed about their school experiences, including the effects of stuttering on academics, learning, teacher relationships, peer relationships, speech therapy experiences, and self-image. Data analysis consisted of transcribing interviews and analyzing them for emerging themes. Results Findings revealed that participants described a variety of experiences around the school setting. Participants reported less favorable middle school experiences. Middle school participants reflected more on teasing, bullying, and feelings of embarrassment, whereas high school participants revealed that teachers, staff, and peers were receptive and accepting of them and their stuttering. All participants reported that their speech therapy helped with classroom participation. Conclusions As a result of the participants' varied experiences, it is important to listen to and incorporate the voices of students who stutter into school, classroom, and therapy decision-making practices.
