  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Two case studies of community educational programs : planning, organization, and implementation Author: Brown, Tyrus Stearns The purpose of this thesis is (1) to study two Oregon communities and to report data related to their concepts of community education and (2) from this data, to develop guidelines for the planning, organization, and implementation of comprehensive community-wide educational programs. In accomplishing these purposes, it is hoped a contribution will be made to the growth and acceptance of the community education concept in the state of Oregon. A selective review of literature reveals that the community education concept is increasingly perceived as a means of meeting an impending crisis in modern public education. The diverse nature of community schools now in operation is due to (1) the several developmental levels at which these community schools exist, (2) the unique nature of the single community, and (3) an inductive planning method that continually readjusts programming plans to the changing educational needs of the community. Interviews were conducted in two anonymous Oregon communities, Lakepark and Riverside, to gather data pertaining to the planning, organization, and implementation of their current educational efforts. Written publications of each district were also examined carefully. Comparison of the two districts revealed that Riverside had made considerably more progress toward successful implementation because (1) the administration was strongly committed to a common goal of relevant education for their students, (2) a reciprocally supportive relationship existed between the school and the community, (3) an inductive planning method incorporating several evaluative instruments was used, and (4) innovation and change were accepted and encouraged. Innovative educational efforts in local communities must be given professional recognition and assistance in order to succeed, but the current public education system does not adequately provide this recognition and assistance. It is recommended that an " idea center" be established and staffed by people who have the ability to develop and stimulate innovative change in education. This "idea center" would collect and disseminate ideas; it would pilot practical research projects related to the planning, organization, and implementation of community education programs; and it would establish model schools and programs that would provide for the training of community school teachers, counselors, and administrators.

Year: 2007 This report is the first year of data findings (of a three year grant project) involving nine of the ten community colleges (one college did not submit data) who received funding from the Community College National Center for Community Engagement through a Learn and Serve America Higher Education grant as part of the Corporation for National and Community Service in an effort to expand the field of service-learning and civic engagement in diverse communities nationwide. The grant is intended to address two dimensions of this effort: 1) training and technical assistance; and 2) facilitation of sub-grantee projects in meeting community needs. This report focuses on data gathered as part of the second dimension in 4 pre-identified categories of college-community projects: a) Baby Boomers; b) Disadvantaged Youth; c) Homeland Security/Domestic Preparedness; and d) Start-up Service-Learning.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Conservation and community development in Nepal : case study of a non-government organization Author: Cannon, Joseph R. The internship I performed was with Rural Community Development Program (RCDP), a domestic non-governmental organization in the country of Nepal. This organization focuses on community development goals in rural communities, utilizing the efforts of volunteers within the context of environmental conservation ideals. I primarily worked with the associated community plant nursery and a community forest. My goals through this position were to observe and learn first-hand about the processes of community development and environmental conservation agencies in developing countries. These goals were met through a ii series of meetings, tours, and duties through RCDP. I spent many days working with the community plant nursery, and learning from the local supervisor. Additionally, I met on numerous occasions with the director of a community forest, and learned about the basic goals and processes of their operation. I was able to subsidize these experiences with tours of natural areas, and communication with community members and businesses. A cultural tour and training were also included. These combined experiences were more than sufficient for meeting my internship goals and obligations of my graduate program. This report completes the requirement of a non-thesis Master of Science degree through the Botany and Plant Pathology Department.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Implementation of a Public Community Library in Libya Author: Eljayar, Ali, Dabab, Maoloud, Clark, Michael, Beltaif, Nader Year: 2016 The public community library has a very significant role in developing countries to enhance the level of knowledge within the community, strengthen community members’ relationships, improve reading skills levels, and foster youth educational development. In addition, the public community library is a gateway that bridges the divide between countries by bringing global knowledge and resources to local communities. Libya is one of the developing countries that missed this great opportunity. In Tripoli, the capital city of Libya, there are only two or three libraries that serve a population of 1.126 million [1]. These libraries do not have the ability to serve all community stakeholder needs. Therefore, many community leadership committees are interested in providing a public community library for their community with all the basic services and resources needed by community members.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Changes & Fishery Management: Impacts, Communication, and Fishing Communities Author: Conway, Flaxen D.L. Year: 2001 Fisheries resources in Oregon have been the focus of a public policy and management controversy for the last several years. As changes in fisheries resources management and policy decisions continue to be occur, the two communities that are directly involved - the fishery management community and the fishing family business community - will continue to interface with each other. Recognizing the interdependence of these two communities is becoming more and more important. Equally important will be the recognition of how communication at the interface can help to lessen tension and negative impacts. This paper discusses an innovative outreach project and the lessons learned regarding small steps in communication that can help both fishing communities and the fishery management community in their struggles to cope with changes in fishery management.
