A colleague of mine is attempting to complete research for her
dissertation and is having trouble finding specific volumes of the
teacher magazine entitled _Schooldays_.  She has received much help from
the LMS in our school district as well as educators from other school
districts in Texas (before she moved) and Minnesota (now that she is
residing in this great state).  She has even written the publisher for
back issues with disappointing results.  I guess I bragged once too
often about this wonderful listserv to which I subscribe because I have
agreed to see if we can find the issues she needs.  I will include the
issues she needs first and then I will give a summary of the research
she is conducting so you will have a better understanding of why she
needs the magazines.  I will also include her e-mail address if you
would prefer to communicate with her directly.  I am thinking she
especially needs a copy of the Table of Contents of these missing
issues.

Schooldays:
1) Sept./Oct., 1989, Vol. 8(?), No. 1
2) Nov./Dec., 1990, Vol. 8, No. 2
3) Feb./March, 1990, Vol. 8, No. 3
4) April/May/June, 1990, Vol. 8, No. 4
5) Sept./Oct., 1990, Vol. 9(?), No. 1
6) April/May/June, 1991, Vol. 10(?), No. 4
7) April/May/June, 1992, Vol. 11(?), No. 4
8) Feb./March, 1993, Vol. 12 (?), No. 3
9) July/Aug., 1996, Vol. 15, No. 5
10) July/Aug., 1999, Vol. 18, No. 5

Summary of the need and importance of this research (which I happen to
think effects me as a LMS and one who is in charge of ordering
periodicals for teacher use as well as finding ideas from some of these
magazines myself.)

SUMMARY OF RESEARCH

Students of all ages need an informed, balanced view of aging. The
purpose of
the study is to ascertain whether some of an elementary school teacher's
classroom lessons come from teaching magazine sources and to identify
and
analyze teaching ideas and learning activities about aging which appear
in
periodicals with the highest circulation.  If elementary teachers are
reading
teaching magazines, and my research indicates this, and the teachers are
finding many of their informal curricular ideas for lessons to be used
in the
classroom, then the periodicals which have the highest circulation
figures
need to be analyzed for content addressing ideas, concepts, and
classroom
activities regarding teaching about aging.

The study will address the need for deliberate educational intervention
to
solicit appropriate and relevant aging education curricular ideas for
K-6
teachers from other practicing teachers knowledgeable in the field and
from
aging education experts. It will suggest the need for elementary level
teachers to try new ideas and materials in lessons about aging.

END OF SUMMARY

(The words "aging education" are also referred to as "intergenerational
studies" by some.)

Thanks in advance for any help and assistance you can give towards the
completion of this research.  If the results of this query are
successful, I will glady post a "see if you can top this" message.
Also, if and when she completes the study and it is published, I will
gladly give you information about accessing it.

With hope and thanks,
Marilyn Beaird
