Please read the Wiki article on Adams. Donald Nevius Bigelow (1918-2007) was a key administrator in dozens of significant programs within the U.S. Department of Education in a government career of more than forty years. He was educated at Danbury High School, Amherst College (1939; 1945), and Columbia University (Ph.D). As an education administrator beginning in 1961, Bigelow's work focused on campaigns to improve the quality of grade school teachers, to train better guidance counselors, and to establish closer partnerships between universities and public schools. He oversaw many key education programs during a period of the Cold War known as the "Space Race," when the U.S. and Soviet Union were in competition for supremacy in space exploration, a competition which is generally acknowledged to have been initiated by the Soviets' launch of the first artificial satellite Sputnik 1 in 1957. Within a few years in the Education Department, Bigelow was leading programs to enhance science, mathematics and foreign language instruction and research, considered vital for the nation's defense. Bigelow managed a heavily-funded government program for training teachers for careers in guidance counseling. He advocated for allocating the money not only for secondary schools but also for grade schools, a view that was controversial. He also advocated for requiring grade school teachers to have bachelor's degrees in subjects they planned to teach, not just a broad education degree, and for providing internships for student teachers before taking on classroom duties on their own. Before his retirement, Bigelow served as a consultant to the Ford Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation. PA72 Rt. 1st Edition. Hardcover.
