Introduction Lerner has reported that American society contains large numbers of semiliterate and illiterate high school graduates. In this regard, Lisack has noted that national statistics indicate that about 13 percent of the United States adult population may be illiterate and 40 percent marginally illiterate.

In the 1920s, Marcus Moziah Garvey was preaching black pride, racial separation, and the resurrection of a great black empire in Africa (Toppin 302). His doctrines attracted at least a million followers, mainly Northern ghetto blacks, making him the first black leader in America with a mass following. To understand Garvey's philosophy, it is important to know his personal history. Garvey was born in the town of St. Ann's Bay in Jamaica, British West Indies. Garvey's parents had little formal schooling, but his father was a skilled mason and avid reader. Garvey attended school, but his schooling ended when he was 14 because of the family's financial setbacks. He was then apprenticed to a printer who was his godfather, and he continued his education by reading books from his godfather's library. Though well-read, Garvey was sensitive about his lack of

The purpose of this research is to examine the use of computer simulation in higher education. The plan of the research will be to set forth the principal areas of consideration that are relevant to computer simulation beyond the secondary school level, and then to discuss examples of and current trends in the field of automated simulation of phenomena and activities. There appear to be two main areas of computer-simulation activity at the university level: for classroom-instructional purposes and for purposes of theoretical or applied research. Within the research purview, product development for educational or for market-oriented purposes may be of concern. There is also evidence of some overlap between the university and private sector, not only regarding product and research development but

IMPACT OF EFFECTIVE SCHOOLS MOVEMENT ON SPECIAL EDUCATION Introduction The purpose of this paper is to examine ways in which the Effective Schools Movement has impacted special education. In this regard, it can be noted that the primary ways in which this movement has impacted special education are in the areas of philosophy, curriculum and practices, and principal/teacher training.

Introduction All organizations, public and private, for-profit and nonprofit, face the problem of maintaining a staff that is skilled and knowledgeable in its field. Without ongoing staff development, employees become less productive and are unable to maintain a competitive edge in the market. In corporate settings, the need to maintain a highquality staff is driven by competitive pressure: an educated and skilled work force is more productive than the competition. Ongoing training is seen as an additional benefit by employees, and the presence of staff development programs can help retain high-quality workers. In the academic arena, the competitive pressure is less intense, particularly in those situations where the tenure code is followed. As a result, administrations often pay less attention paid to staff development
