Behavioral Science Teacher Education Program

Writen in 1969' (Now Fully Integrated within our educational system)

Calculations of the future and how to modify it are no longer considered to be an obscure academic pursuit. Long range planning and implementation of plans will be made by a technological scientific elite. This will strain the democratic fabric to the ripping point. The Protestant ethic will of atrophy as more and more enjoyed a very leisured and guaranteed sustenance. Work as a means and an end of living will diminish. Most people will tend to be hedonistic, and a dominant elite will provide the bread and circuses to keep social distention and disruption at a minimum. A small elite will carry societies burdens. The resulting impersonal manipulation of most peoples lifestyles will be softened by provision for pleasure seeking and guaranteed physical necessities. The controlling elite will engage in power plays, largely without the involvement of most of the people. The Society will be a leisurely one. People will study, play and travel. Some will be in various stages of drug induced experiences. Each individual will receive at birth, a multi-purpose identification, which will have amongst other things extensive communications and control uses. Each individual will be saturated with ideas of information. Each will be self selected, other kinds will be imposed, overtly by those who assumed the responsibility for the others actions. Relatively few individuals will be able to maintain control over their opinions. Most will be pawns of competing opinion molders.

i have been trying to find it. so far thru the ERIC system i have found 2 related documents:Guide to Behavioral Science Elementary Teacher Education Program. and Behavioral Science Vocational Teacher Education Program.

According to Michael Coffman this Report was funded By H.E.W. in 1965 and published in 69. If anyone finds this report please post a link.

I had to do a "BSTEP" folder and BTSEP goals for my "BTSA" program when I was a beginning teacher. I knew I did not like it but wasn't sure why and now I know...
