UW-Milwaukee Dept. of Exceptional Education records, 1913-1988.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/28897367

Description: Records of the UWM Dept. of Exceptional Education and its predecessors. The majority of the records are from the 1960s and appear to have been created or compiled by the department's chairperson. The collection contains a large number of correspondence files (1913-1972) from the chairperson documenting his/her activities, department functions, curriculum and course developments, student testing, practice teaching, and budget requirements. Correspondence with the dean of the School of Education and letters of department faculty members are also found in the correspondence files. Also included is a series of Alice Streng correspondence (1934-1969), much of it concerning the education of deaf children and the training of teachers of the deaf. A large number of the letters appear to be from friends and/or former students seeking advice or sharing experiences. Of particular interest are letters received during the World War II years from people stationed or teaching overseas, or working in hospitals on the home front. Also documented are Streng's activities as chairperson of the department. The faculty minutes (1959-1988) note curriculum developments, faculty activities and department events, such as workshops and institutes, committee reports, and general announcements. The collection also contains records of the Laboratory School for Special Learning Disabilities and its predecessor, the School for Research on Language Disorders. Included are reports, parents' guides, handbooks, brochures, policy statements, curriculum and executive committee meeting minutes, and final documents regarding the move to the Campus School. Other records include miscellaneous committee files; workshop brochures, correspondence, and reports; studies; guidelines for student teachers in schools for the deaf; and a scrapbook (1929-1950) of the Winnie Memorial Fund, a scholarship fund established in memory of Alonzo J. Winnie who established the department for training teachers of the deaf at the Milwaukee Normal School in 1913. Finding aid available in the Archives.
