The modern secondary schooloffers its students a highlydiversified curriculum. It is not uncommon forthe number of available courses to exceed one hundredand for nmnw of these to becomposed of multiple sections or classes. It's easy to understand 1,:nythe task of pre- paring a master scheduleand student schedules has becomeexceedingly complex and tedious.

The administration must try tosatisfy the academic desires of the students while being mindfulof practical considerations such as teacher class loads, semester balanceand building utilization. MUch of this work is essentiallyclerical and repetitive in nature; it wastes administrativetime, is subject to extensive errorand us.ually ends up requiring changes that may take weeks or even months to camplete.

Westinghouse Learning Corporationhas developed a computerized scheduling system which isefficient, effective and econominal.More Amportantly, the system meets therequirements of the schooladminis- trator. Just a few of its many importantfeatures include:

the assistance af aa expriencededucational consultant;

extensiverror checkingand editing procedures;

a powerful classloading program; and

built-in flexibility which allows easyconversion to flexible modular scheduling andother innovative systems. GRADE REPORTING

Westinghouse Learning Corpurationha\s- developed a computerized grade reporting system as partof a bomprehensive educational data services program. The system,Olichwas designedby educators and computer experts, has provento Eie reliable andresponsive to the needs of secondary schools. It is completely compatible with WLC traditional and flexiblescheduling systems and gains ineffi- ciency through the use of datacollected from these systems.

Versatility is one of the system'simpOrtant points: six-week or nine-week grading periods may beused;\variable grade weights may be assigned; credit may bebased on sem\ester grades orend-of-year grades; and courses may havedifferent credit values rangingfrom 0.00 to 9.00. Efficiency, simplicity ahdreliability are the other attractive features of WLC'sgrade reporting system: it saves asub- stantial amaunt of time andeffort; it's easy to use andunder- stand; and the generatedinformation is consistently accurateand complete.

The basic reporting serviceprovides the school with severalim- portant items including reportcards, cumulative pupil attendance reports and lists of pupilswith failing or incompletegrades. In addition, a schOol may elect to receive avariety of optional re- ports and services:

Rank in Class Lists

Frequency Distribution of Grades

Comments on Report Cards

Class Lists with CumulativeGrades

Maintenance of Cumulative GradePoint Average

Summary Lists by Counselor EDUCATIONAL CONSULTING

Westinghouse Learning Coiporation is striving to assist schools with methodical, well-planned change. To WLC, change means progress for the betterment of education: improvement in teaching methods; better understanding between teachers and students; the implementa- tion of new programs or the revision of traditional ones; and the revamping of teaching-learning philosophies to keep pace with today's educational generation.

In advocating this change, we feel an essential ingredient is the proper use of consultants. And because educational problems differ from those in industry, WLC has built a consulting staff consisting of former school administrators and professionals with first-hand knowledge and expertise in the development and operation of school programs. Expert assistance is available in administration, com- puter systems, curriculum development and a variety of other impor- tant educational areas.

The Board of Education, the administration and the public have a right to question the need for using "outside" consultants. Is it really necessary?What will be accomplished?When and how do you choose the firm and the consultant? To answer some of these questions, you shouhl review all of the points listed on the following pages.

If you then feel that further discussion of your particular educa- tional problems would be helpful, a WLC consultant will contact you personally, with no obligation. The WLC educational consulting office nearest you is listed on the last page of this brochure. FLEXIBLE MODULAR SCIIEDULING

Flexible modular scheduling is one of the innovative educational services offered by Westinghouse Learning Corporation. It is a tool which the local school administrator can use to great ad- vantage to individualize instruction so students can learn at their own pace. The Westinghouse Learning Corporation Flexible Modular Scheduling System, which incorporates the Stanford School Scheduling Syster, generates the school master schedule, assigns students to classes, and produces class lists, and teacher, room and student schedules.

This scheduling tool allows the school to utilize a greater number of time blocks than in traditional scheduling. By combining time blocks, the school may schedule its classes for various lengths, -Irequencies, class sizes, staffing patterns and instructional activities. Traditional periods are yeplaced by "mods" (modules of time) of usually 15 to 20 minutes. The number of mods varies from class to class and from day to day for various classes. Students meet in large lecture groups, in small groups, and in lab sessions. Students may also have 25 to 50 percent of their time unschedul&i when they can choose their own activities.

The implementation of a flexible modular schedule does not by itself make a drastic change in the curriculum. It does, however, provide the opportunity to change the present curricula to provide a much more individualized approach to the programming of each student. Flexible scheduling enables the administrator and the educational staff to make optimum use of the faculty's time, the students' time, and the school facilities and offers the oppor- tunity to provide an individualized program for the student and the teacher. The faculty will have more opportunity to structure and teach their classes using the most appropriate instructional materials and methods.

Schools which consider a flexible modular schedule usually do so in order to meet certain objectives which they have determined to be meaningful for their setting. These objectives usually include some or all of the following points:

1. To individualize instruction.

2. To further the professionalization of the teaching staff.

3. To expand, develop, and improve curriculum.

4. To inplement new instructional methods. 5. To instill within the students somedegree of responsi- bility for their own education.

If your faculty has collectively asked questionssuch as these: How can we better educate our slow learners?How can we help our upperclassmen prepare for the greater independencethey will find in college?How can we enable the boy with five majorsand physi- cal education to sample same minors? HOW can webring our program into line with our stated belief inindividualizing instruction? then it's time you seriously investigatedflexible modular scheduling. National Association for theIndividualization of Instruction is an organizationdedicated to: developing unitv in the movement forindividualized instruction, producing available andinvaluable materials aboutihdi- vidualizing instruction forits membership,continuously alerting school districtadministrators, educators, agen- cies and the generalpublic to the need forindividualizing the instruction program,and establishing a homebase for those interested inobtaining furtherinformation, expertise leadership and planning inthe area of individualizing instruction.

NAII SERVES THROUGH: Conferences - NAII conducts anannual conference with some of the most renownededucators in the UnitedStates. Each member of the associationwill get an opportunity topresent his specific program andreceive valuable suggestionsand recommendations by those who areknowledgeable in the subject. The information,suggestions and recommendationsobtained from the participants ofthe previous conference arecare- fully incorporated in theplanning of the forthcoming con- ference, usually held in thespring. At the last two conferehces, there were morethan 3,000 inquiries. Approxi- mately 1,000 registrantsand 35 educational expertspartici- pated in each of theconferences. More than 700 persons were refused admittance to thefirst conference because of a space limitation. It is felt by themembers that studentpartici- pation enhances theeffectiveness of the numerousworkshops and demonstrations that areconducted. For this reason the conferences are usually heldin a school facility. Clearing House and ConsultationService - As a direct result of NAII's wide contacts,the association is equippedto per- form clearing house andconsulting services in thefield of individualization of the instructional programs. The asso- ciation, while serving as abank for relevant materials on the Individualization ofInstruction periodically develops and compiles research data onthis subject. All of these materials are made available toall members at no extracost.

Institutes - NAII sponsors a minimum of twoinstitutes a year on some aspectof the individualizationof instruction. The last instituteregistering more than 40 personsemphasized the development ofbehavioral objectives_ Included in the program was a manual,which provided a much broaderprospectus of this subject area thathad been developedspecifically for this particular institute. ii Publications - NAII published newsletters,pamphlets, manuals and bulletins throughoutthe year. All publica- tions, except those consideredmajor by the association, will be provided to all members at nocost. Booklets on the events which took place atthe annual conferences will be available to all interested personswith a reduced cost to those individuals who aremembers of the organization.

by Robert H. Anderson

(Smmary of presentation by Robert H. Anderson of Harvard University, NoveMber 9. 1971)

Children learn in varials ways: from things, fran people, and fram actions. One key to humanizing education is to do a far better job in assessing the learning style, the life style, and the "readiness" of each child.

One way to humanize a school, and to make more realistic learning possible, is to organize itproperly. Although organization is itself no guarantee of good education, certain organizational elements have been found to be more effective in delivering educational services to children with different notes and styles of leazning and varying levels of motivation. These include "nongradedness" (which is chiefly a philosophy honoring individual difference); multi-age groupings to insure heterogeneous as well as homogeneous pupil clusters; cooperative teaching; and open-space physical settings.

It is neither humane nor efficient to rely on text book-dependent curricula and fixed courses of study based primarily on one learning medium. Multimedia approaches, with flexible structure so that each child has in effect his own separate curriculum, must be adopted.Much nore time should be provided for the creative and expressive arts, for examination of controversial issues, for health and personal development, and for exploring life pursuits.

More pupil-pupil interaction, including that which occurs when pupils tutor and assist other pupils, must be encouraged. Competitive-comparative marking systems must be virtually eliminated. A, more flexible yearly calendar must be adopted, and more "education" should occur outside the walls of the school. The school should shed the policies and practices that have caused some critics to compare them with penal institutions.

Much overlooked in discussions of humanization is the need for teachers them- selves to live richer and more "humane" lives.Unless the adults in the school are also learning a lot, interacting with themselves in lively and productive ways, and generally illustrating "the good life" in their behavior as the children see it, then we have little reason to expect the children to be inspired.

Reordering EducationalPriorities to Accomodate the Personal Develo ment ofStudents

It has been charged by somethat in the schools today"only when there is interferencewith intellectual developmentdo the personal and emotional aspectsof human development receive attention." Some noted educators,such as Benjamin Bloom, have even suggestedthat "under some conditionsthe development of cognitive behaviors may actuallydestroy certain desiredaffective behaviors." This presentation will explorethe current situations in elementary and secondaryschools regarding the allocationof time, facilities, and resourcesfor the personal developmentof students. It will be suggested thatthe personal developmentof students, as evidenced in theinstructional program, is negligible. Suggestions and examples of how thebalance between cognitive and affective objectives might beachieved will be presented.

School-Community Drug Prevention Programs

The naivete of students and youngpeople sampling drugs in the country today is matched onlyby the fantasies of adults who Imagine this problem can be easilysolved. Unfortunately both groups err inoversimplifying the etiology and remedy ofthis concern. This presentation will explore anumber of factors accounting for the ever-shifting papametersof the drug scene and the problem in gaining perspectivein this area. In addition, the factors involved in whyindividuals turn to drugs and haw early intervention might reduce thisattraction will be analyzed. Finally, a ten point operationalschool-community program to control drug abuse will be presented.

ARTHUR C. CLARKE \\, AUTHOR

truly Born in Englandin 1917, Arthrr C.Clarke is a man of diversified and remarkableachievements. An authority on space travel, he is thewinner of the FranklinInstitute's Gold Medal satellite in a (1963) for having originatedthe communications technical paper publishedin 1945. Kalinga Prize for In 1962, he wasawarded the $2,800 UNESCO Writers science writing. In 1965, he wontwo Aviation/Space future Association awards forhis LIFE article onthe history and Oscar of communicationssatellites. In 1969 he shared an nomination with StanleyKubridk for the screen-playof "2001: A ." of " Atop-ranking szliencewriter and "a master (The New Yorker), Mr.Clarke is the authorof 40 books, both non-fiction and fiction,10 million copiesof which have been printed in some 30languages. The latest (1968)is the Book- of-the-Month Club selection,"The Promise of Space." He is now book of writing the preface andepilogue to the astronaut's own the Apollo mission.

In addition to"2001: A Space Odyssey,"which was inspired by with one of hisshort stories "TheSentinel," Mr. Clarke wrote, the editors of LIFE, "Manand Space" (1964).

His non-fiction worksbegan to be publishedin the early 1950's, The titles and revised editionshave appeared withregularity. "The Challenge of these bodksinclude: "Interplanetary Flight," "Profiles of the oaf. the Spaceship," "TheChallenge of the Sea," Future," and "Voicesfrom the Sky."

Mr. Clarke'sscience fiction has beenspectacularly successful books are: and has gone into manyeditions. The titles of these 36 "," "," "Against the Fall of Night," "The Sands of Mars," "Childhood's End," "," "," "Reach for Tomorrow," "The City and the Stars," "Tales form the White Hart," The Deep Range," "The Other Side of the Sky," "A Fall of Moondust," "Tales of Ten Worlds," "," and "Glide Path."

Severalomnibus collections of hisfiction have appeared: "Across the Seaof Stars," "From the Ocean, From theStars," and "Prelude to Mars.I I

The mysteries of the sea,however, fascinate Clarke as much as those of outer space. Since the early 1950's he has been ex- ploring the deeps of Australia andCeylon with his partner in skin diving, Mike Wilson, a film producerand under-water photo- graper. An underwater expedition byClarke and Wilson to the Great Barrier Reef of Australiain 1954 and 1955 was chronicled by Clarke in "The Coast of Coral,"with photographs by Wilson. Underwater adventure around Ceylon wasthe subject of "The Reefs of Taprobane." His interest in the sea was alsoreflected in "Vcice Across the Sea." With Mike Wilson he wrote "The Treasure of the Great Reef" about the successful expeditionundertaken in 1963 by Clarke, Wilson, and othersin search of a sunken ship in the Great Basses Reef of Ceylon,where they discovered a tor. of silver coins.

Other collaborations betweenClarke and Mike Wilson were the juvenile non-fiction books "TheFirst Five Fathoms, " "Boy Beneath the Sea," .-Indian Ocean Adventure," and "Indian Ocean Treasure."

Arthur Clarke's articles have beenpublished widely, including such periodicals as Reader's Digest,Holiday, Playboy, Look and The New York Times Magazine.

A graduate of King's College,London, with First Class Honors in Physics and Mathematics, he is past Chairman ofthe British Interplanetary Society and a member of the Academyof Astronautics, The Royal Astronomical Society, and manyother scientific organizations.

In the face of all theseattainments, Arthur C. Clarke is not one to lose his sense of humor andbalance. Where other men may be didactic about scientific matters, he islikely to come up with such a witty truth as what he once called"Clarke's Law." This is (and we quote):

"When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that some- thing is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong."

He then returned to his oldschool com- munity to teach grades one throughtwelve in the Newark Public School system during the yearsfrom 1954 to 1969.

Mr. Cureton was appalled tofind that many of his junior highschool students were unable to read. He began the laborious task ofresearch into why can't these students read?

Mr. Cureton's unrelenting research wasnot in vain for he has now perfected a reading program whichrelated reading skills to the environ- mental impacts of the ghetto child'slife realities.

During 1970, the Cureton Methodof Reading brought recognitionfrom the President of the United States whoappointed Mr. Cureton to his National Educational Advisory Committee.

ABSTRACT: Strategies for RealisticStaff Development

by C.T. Don lin

The 1960's might well be termedthe era of the innovations explosion in American education. Thiggered by the launching of Sputnik I and thefederal funding titles, schools were prodded to overcamethe inertia of the status quo. The literature, the devices, thestrategies and the programs of the 1960's are history.We are certain of one thing and thatis innovations abound' literally hundreds and thousnads ofwhat-have-you's across the whole spectrun of education fram the nersery school tothe university. Mmplicit in our dilimmas in education is the fact that only amixnite portion of innovations have been directed toward improvingteacher training programs and improving professional developmentprograms of staffmanbers in active service.Here- in lies the thesis of Strategies: forRealistic Staff Development. Ttaining programs pest and presenthave been woefully inadequate in preparingteadhers who can effectively respond to the needs of youngpeople. Same states are experimentingr with performance-based criteria forcertification. Same univer- sities are centers for experimentation indeveloping new teacher training strategies.America has a generation of school childrenthat cannot wait far the development of etnew generation of teacherswho have been trained to cope effectively with their needs.ALseeming dichotomy exists when we see these inadequacies and needs on one hand and the innovations onthe other. What can the schools do with our presentgeneratian of educators, tenured and many years from retirement, whose trainingan& competency leaves something to be desired. What can the local district do, living with therealities of today's economy and the financial constraints ofimplementing differentiated and other staffing arrangements. Mt. Donlin will address himself to theseissues and attempt to direct the thinking of the educator to those alternatives that canrealistically lead to the development of today's professional staff, which canthen better respand to the needs of our young people.

50 ABOUTACT: The Natdonal Institute of Education

by Joseph Lipson

Planning is in progress for a proposed new federalinstitution intended to give impetus to research and development ineducation. Legislation creating this agency, the NationalInstitute of Education, has passed the Senate and awaits sub- coomittee action in the House. Final passage is expected in Ccbpber of this year. The Instibitevaill report directly totho U.S.Commissioner of Education. Present legislation calls for a 15-man advisory board bp advisethe Institute director on policy and to represent a broad spectrun of thinking oneducation.

Work is currently underway bp analyze the problemsof education, prepare a menu of possible: majordevelopmental and research problems, deal with the setup problem, design an effective organization, and arrangefor a smooth, 'humane transition firm the present National Center for Education,Research and Develop- ment to the National Institute.

The drive to create a special institute canes from agrowing concern that educational R & D has not done the job expected of it. People within the education R & D community have called for sudh an institutionto focus and upgrade the uork in their field. Difficulties with national programs of change and reform (eg. Head- start) have sane:MA=0 that a more powerful institution forplanning and analyzing change is needed.

In addition, the Nixon Administration feels thatif the federal government is to continue to be the source of huge educationalsupport programs, we had better gain a better base of larwledge and a better systemof delivering products and new approaches to students.

Plans for the institutefocus on the developmentside of researdh and develop, merit. The conoept of&Nelopment is nat well established in thefield of educa- tion.This is one reason that so few research products andideas find their way into practice. In the new institute, development teams willdesign programs, each of which is to have a clearly specified educational impact.The teams will be thtfmdi.sciplinary - includiag research scientists fran major disciplines,educa- tional R & El people, edicational practitioners, and students.EMphasis on develop- ment will generate new, fundamentally different formsof education which will challenge the thinking of people in the educational and socialscienoer.

The plans include the institute'sthink tank, a unit of educational studies. Educational studies research would provide the basis for policy decisions for new programs and for changes in emphasis in the development and research pTograms. The task of this group will be to illuminate the problems of education and bp see through current nyths surrouanding education: to deal with both the forest and the trees. The division is to be organized around new kinds of groupings so that people frau many disciplines can focus upon some aspect of educataon. For example, one group might deal with the study of human interaction. Psychologists, anthropologists, doctors, poets, as well as sociologists and social psychologists, could each bring their own perspectiva to such a unit within the NIE.

A thi-xl &vision would be responsible for nuxturing research and develognent capability in both individuals and organizations. The current regional laboratories fr;1 and R & D centers would be guided and supported by this unit. As institutions for ressardi mature, it is hoped that they will achieve the competence to run full- fledged programs. Such organizations would then interact with all the divisions of the NIE.

There are many implications for teachers, school boards, school districts, state education agencies and commercial research and development firms in the proposed institute.People, proposals and contracting orgmnimtionswill be sought from the entire spectrum of talent and involvement. Teachers, board members, technicians, artists, scientists, etc., will be contacted and involved in the enterprise.

New relationships with commercial, industrial and profitraaking concerns will be designed at the same time that the producave capacity of industcy and commerce is turned on to scme of the problems facing education.

The funding level reque3ted by the administratian is about 150 to 200 million dollars for the first year (fiscal year 1973),It-is hoped that the work of the NIE will justify increases of about 20 percent per year so that the funding level could approadh 1 billion dollars within a decade.

CHARLES F. REASONER 4 PROFESSOR OF EDUCATION NEW YORK UNIVERSITY NEW YORK. NEW YORK

Dr. Charles F. Reasoner,Professor of Education, New York University, received his B.S.c degreefrom Ohio State University and his master's and doctoratein education from Teachers College, Columbia University. Born in Logan, Ohio, Dr. Reasoner's childhood andyouth were spent In Mount Vernon, Ohio.

Dr. Reasoner's expertise isin the areas of children's literature, reading, and the language arts. As a curriculum generalist, however, his concern has always beenthat of a practitioner who focuses on the individualized learningof each child, regardless of age or grade placement, culturalbackground, and ability grouping in curriculum subjects.

Professor Reasoner has lectured nationallyand has conducted demonstration workshops in which he putshis theory into practice - teacher-teadhing, learner-doing - while classroomteachers dbserve. His emphasis, always, is placed onthe child as the individualizer - a decision-maker aswell as upon the fact that individualization - at all levels of instruction - exposes,widens, and capitalizes upon differencesin educationally desirable ways. Most of all, Di. Reasoner recognizes the teacher as an individual, too: He urges and helps teachersto develop their own classroom conditions, situations, and approaches in order to reach morelearners on a one-to-one basis. 59 PUBLICATIaNS OF CHARLES F.

104 NONGRADED EDUCATION BYINSTRUMENTATION

by

James Lewis, Jr.

A monthly educationmagazine highly praised two elementary schools in the northeastern partof the United States abouttheir highly successful nongraded program. Another southwestern school was described as ademonstration school with regard toits out- standing implementationof a nongraded, highly flexibleinstructional program. An educational journal gavecredit to a secondary school for its nongraded program. Feature articles in this tenor appearin a number ofeducational publications each year,propelling thousands of visitors, not only acrossthe country, but also in some cases, around the world hoping to get aglimpse of a "truly" nongraded school by observing the programsin these highly publicizedinstitu- tions. Many of these visitors aregenerally receptive to any pro- gram they seebecause they are not themselvesfully knowledgeable about all the elements whichshould be present in a purenongraded school. Others, who may have had somebackground experience in the area of nongradedinstruction return home disgruntledbecause they discovered that, once again, themagazines publicized somethingwhich did not exist. In fact, all that was tobe seen, in most of these cases, might bedescribed as simply a sophisticated,conventional educational program which hadbeen given a contemporary title.

Why has this happened?Why have school administratorsmis- represented themselves and whyhave educational publicationsbeen accused of misleading thausandsof teachers and administrators?

The anawers to these questions aredisconcertingly simple. First, as Dr. Robert Andersonof Harvard University has stated, most people like to get in on a goodthing. The nongraded concept repre- sents a contemporary conceptin which efforts are made toreach aut and meet the unique individualneeds of each student. Second, definite and appropriate criteriafor judging the effectiveness of a nongraded program have never reallybeen established.

Many school administratorsand teachers tend to identify the nongraded concept with abilitygrouping. By doing this, they attempted to build theireducational programs around grauping pro- cedures which failed to allawteachers to truly individualizetheir instructional practices. The question may then be raised as towhether it is humanly possiblefor a single teacher to meet theindividual needs of some twenty-five youngstersin a classroom during asingle 106 11.,,JA.T.,7.-nme F 2

THE UTILIZATION OF ANEDUCATIONAL INSTRUMENT

Like the scientists, ournext major step is todesign an "instrument" that will facilitatethe implementation of anindivid- to ualized instructional program,and afford us the opportunity to a successfully make thetransition from a traditional program 108 nongraded program. This instrument must be onewhich will help to alleviate the above-cited problems topermit the infusion of an individualized instructional programwhich may be realistically implemented by a single teacher. We must remember here thatthe scientists alluded to did not relysolely on their own knowledge and experience, but they activelysought the research and experi- ence of othersand profited from a conglomeratewealth of knowledge. Such must also be the case inthe development of other"instru- ments" decised for use to individualizethe instructional program. This is not to say that their programis completely nongraded and all the problems have beeneliminated. This is only to point out that the base or core of their programis dependent upon an instru- ment designed to providemaximun opportunities for meetingthe varied needs of each student. In Duluth, Minnesota, theDuluth Public Schools use a "contract" asthe means for individualizingthe instructional program. The Westinghouse Corporation educational systems provide a'Teaching-Learning Unit", more commonly known as "TLU's", for a number of schools throughoutthe nation who utilize their computer-assisted instructional program. The Nova Schools of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, hasexperienced some success with"Learning Activity Packages (LAPS), while theKettering Foundation which supports the IDEA MaterialsCenter of Anaheim, California, has popu- larized "Unipacs" which are being usedby more than 25,000 yaunsters throughaut the United States. Success has also been achievedby the Ruby L. Thomas School in Las Vegas,Nevada with their Nath Package". Recently, the University of Pittsburgh,in collaboration with Research for Better Schools created"Individually Prescribed Instructian (IPI)" units which have provenextremely viable in meeting the individual needs of studentsfrom varied backgrounds. The author and a group of educators framthe Wyandanch Public Schools carefully and methodically examinedthe various pr6blems cited above as inherent in administeringthe instructional program, and devised their own educational instructional"instrument" known as the IndividualStudy Unit which has been successfullyused to facilitate learning for all students. As a result, the aughor believes that the educational instrumentwhich will be best able to ameliorate or erase all or most of the problemsmentioned previously is the comprehensive Individual StudyUnit,,and this particular unit should receive full elaboratian and study.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF INDIVIDUAL STUDY UNITS The Individual Study Units are developed byteacher and student. On occasion, same materials contributedby parents are included in a few units. There are eight major components to eadh IndividualStudy Unit:

1. Content Area

In this area, the student is given adescriptian of the contents of the unit. The title of the unit appears here; the skill or concept to bemastered; and identification of the level ofthe unit. 109, 2. Statement of Purpose for the teacher In yesteryears, notonly was it not necessary of work but, in some to explain the reasonfor learning a given unit infor- situations, it wasconsidered absurd to givethe student this society, mDre and mDrestress has mation. Today, in our contemporary been placed on studentinvolvement in all areasof the educatioaal If students are going tobe awarded a greaterresponsibility process. for a for their learning,then it becomesunquestionably necessary detail what the unitis Statement of Purposewhich spells out in some learn the concerned with andwhy it is necessaryfor the student to content of the unit.

Behavioral Objectives

One of the majorfunctions of educationis to change the has behavior of the studentby exposure to andpractice of that which previously been unknown orunfamiliar to him. In order toaccomplish this task effectively,eadh student shouldreceive an understanding There are three of the eventualbehavior which is expectedof him. objec- basic ingredients tobe included in thecreation of behavioral tives: be taught must a. A condition underwhich the student will be presented, will b. The act or performance(behavior) which the student be expected to execute mustbe stated in concise terms,and satisfactory c. An indication of theminimum standard for performance must be delineated.

All behavioral objectives arewritten so as toincorporate the thought processesexplicftly described inBloom's TAXONOMY OF all tests are EDUCATIONALOBJECTIVES.1 By following this procedure, developed which evaluatesthe thought processeswhich have been in- corporated in the behavioralobjectives.

4. Pre-Test

A pre-test is available tobe administered tothe student to determine if he shouldcontinue in the same unit, orbe directed to another unit. The student decides forhimself if he can pass the If he can, he test. If he cannot, then heproceeds in the unit. completes the test andsdbmits it to the teacherfor evaluation.

6. Learning Experience andLearning Activity Ottions

If education is to bemeaningful to students, thenit must, in some way, be relevantto the realitieswhich the students have experienced or are experiencing. The purpose of the LearningExperi- ence is to"turn the student on" to thelearning program. Often included in this section arematerials written about astudent's community which bear somerelativity to the subjectunder study.

Learning Activity Optionsprovide a multitude ofdifferent learning activities whichgive the student a wide rangeof choice in making the decision of hawhe will pursue hislearning experience. These activities should encompass abroad horizontal rangeof interest levels, as well as a broadvertical range of abilitylevels to meet the varied needs ofindividual students.

These options consistof a variety of relativeactivities to reinforcelearning guch as role playing,writing scripts, producing television shows, publishing abooklet, interviewing anoted person, producing a film, utilizingall available educationaltechnology and a host ofother activities.

7. Post-Test

;r. The function of this test isto determine howwell the stu- dent has learned in order toproduce the expected behaviordescribed in the behavioralobjective. Care must be taken sothat the student predicated to is properly evaluatedin terms of the thought processes be utilized by the languageof the behavioral objective. Where a stu- dent has not beensuccessful, he may then bere-cycled back to the behavioral objective or to theremaining Learning ActivityOptians, in order to continuehis learning experience. Where a student has been successful, adiscussion bearing on theAttitudinal Objectives to be realizedshould then occur eitherbetween the student and his teacher, or between a groupof students and the teacher.

8. Attitudinal Objectives

Attitude is much too importantin learning to either be omitted entirely, or simplytaken for granted in the learning pro- gram. By designating AttitudinalObjectives, the teacher can more Hi student toward the unitand its readily determinethe attitude of a effectively evaluating atti- content.

These units have been faund toadd appreciably to thesuccessful implementation of an effectivenongraded program whereindividualiza- tion of instruction is theoptimum goal. Students and parents are extremely excited abaut andreceptive to these new andinnovative tools which aid in facilitatinglearning OP the part of thestudent and teadhing on the part ofthe teadher. The Organization and Flow Chart whidh serves as theguide by which these units aredeveloped serves to insure sequence,scope and thateach unit will be a part of the total educationalpicture for eadh student.

Of course, no instructionaldevice is a substitute for aneffec- tive teacher, so the purposeand function of theinstrument is not to replace the teacher, but toprovide a means by which theteacher can meet the unique needsof individual students withmaximum proficiency and maximum performance during agiven period. There is not method, device or instrument which willsucceed if the teadher usingit is a poor teacher.

SUMMARY

If the individualization ofinstruction is ever to become a reality, then the standardtextbook must be discarded and a con- temporary tool used in itsplace which will meet all ofthe problems and cope with all of thevariableswithin a typical classroom. The Individual Study Unit can serve asthis replacement. One of the most important featuresof this instrument is that thestudent is aware of whatand why he is to learn alesson. He will be aware of the performance expected ofhim. He can be tested to determineif he should or should not continuein the lesson. He will be able to evaluate his own growth todetermine his own progress. He is given variaus choices of haw he isgoing to learn. He will receive a post- test to evaluate hisperformance. His attitudes will be examinedand, finally, he will be evaluatedby the teacher who will exerciseskilled professional judgment to determinethe next step at which thestudent will continue his learning as anindividual. And finally, like the astronaut, he will enjoyhis learning venture and zoomoff into space to acquire newhorizons. CONFERENCE REPORT

FIRST NORTHEAST CONFERENCEON THE INDIVIDUALIZATION OF INSTRUCTION

January 10, 1970

Dr. Edward Pino's Workshop Introduction Of New Organizational Patterns In Staffing And Curriculum

In his workshop, Dr. Edward PinotSuperintendent of the Cherry Creek Schools in Metropolitan Denver,Colorado, dealt comprehensively with the nature, scope and implementationof differentiated staffing and individualized instruction in hisdistrict.

After a brief introduction, in which Dr.Pino described the wide socio-economic composition, conservative, yetaspiring, nature of Cherry Creek's suburban-urban population,the meMbers of the Workshop viewed a twenty-minute slide presentationof Cherry Creek's program of Individualized Instruction. The accompanying narration beganwith Cherry Creek's philosophy of educationwhich is based on the belief that:

1. All children are basically good andhave a desire to learn.

2. All children are entitled to ahappy, successful school ex- perience.

3. All children differ in their interestsand requirements.

4. All children have unique andever-changing rates and styles of learning.

5. All children have intellectual mountains toclimb.

6. Educational goals must stretCh astudent's capacity.

Therefore, in accordance with these beliefs, Cherry Creek accepts these responsibilities of establishing these goals: 114 1. An environment where students candevelop and maintain a positive self-image by beingthemselves. enjoyable. 2. An environment wherelearning can be human, free and

3. An environment where learningactivities are based on free enterprise to allow all children toreadh their full potential.

4. An environment where all children areprovided a stiff curriculum based on basic and fundamentalconcepts, skills and values.

5. An environment where all learningexperiences are based on an individualizedplan for each child.

To implement this philosophy, theadministrative staff has developed four broad guidelines:

1. Develop new programs based on soundresearch and practice.

2. Allow each building staff to develop its owncreative program as each believes it canbest serve the students at eachattendant cen- ter.

3. 4uplay a superior staff of teadhers andadministrators; let them know what their job is; let themdo what they think best.

4. Plan for improvement on a five-year basisutilizing a total systems approadh; train and retrainthe staff; carefully evaluate the results of all new programs undertaken.

The goal to personalize and humanizeinstruction is basic and underscores all system components, includingthe instructional strate- gies which center around the Cherry CreekLearning Loop, the five camponents of which include:

1. Diagnosis. This is a continuous process involving an attempt to systematically analyze anddetermine the next steps in student learning.

2. Prescription. Based on interpreted findings of the diagnosis, prescriptions are individually tailored to the requirementsof each learner, of short and long term duration.

3. Contract. Based on.the prescriptions, contracts are oral or written, and canbe amended at any time.

4. Treatment. The actual instructional methods and procedures selected by the team.

5. Assessment. This is 'based on clearly defined behavioral objectives specified in the contract and demonstrated onperformance 115 findings become partof a newdiagnosis: testing.

There has been a shift of have traditional concerns ofacademic content. These curriculum areas been condensed andreplaced by five majoralternatives:

1. Paid work experience. VISTA, the 2. A non-paid serviceexperience (in such areas as Red Cross, and ActionCenters). anywhere in the 3. An exchange experiencein an environment, world, but different fromthat in which the student grew up.

4. A teaching experience.

5. Life time skills(i.e., lifetime sports).

In terms of methodologicalchanges, cooperativeinterdisciplinary teams, which allowchildren to move at their ownrate on a continuous progress basis,with the schedule as much outof the way as possible, and with the school defined asthe community, are beingtested. Dr. Pino questioned thevalue of increasing thenumber of modules as an attempt toobtain more flexibility. Cherry Creek's experience with increased modules has notbeen that successful. Dr. Pino observed that the one-period moduleis probably the mostflexible, the three- period module is probablythe most flexible, thethree-period day the next most flexible,and the fourteen periodperhaps the least flexible.

During the next one and onehalf hours of the Workshop,Dr. Pino angwered questions concernedwith Cherry Creek personneldesigns.

Team planning time wasdiscussed first. The school day for members of the team begins at8:00 a.m. and ends at 4:00 p.m. The student's day begins at 9:01J a.m.and ends at 3:00 p.m. Team plan- ning is scheduled for threehours every day as follows: from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m., from noonto 1:00 p.m., from3:00 to 4:00 p.m. Team members utilize the firstand last planning hours forconferring and individualized planning. At noon, 9 members of the teammeet to plan grouping for the next day whilethe team aide supervises thestudent's lunch hour. The team aide posts the nextday's groupings by the end of the day, and thechildren of the family meet atthe opening of the next school day tolearn details of theirschedules for that day.

The Cherry Creek differentiatedstaffing models are based onthe same dollar resources. At Walnut Hills, forinstance, the cost per family of 150 students wasdetermined by multiplyingthe $9,000.00 median salary of the districtby the figure six whichrepresented the number of teachers in aconventional plan. Thus $54,000.00 was set 117 5

as the upper costlimit of the new differentiatedstaffing model. In actual fact, the new cost came to asubstantially lower figure, representing a savings of $100.00 perpupil for the year. The ten- member team model serving 150students at Walnut Hills consistsof:

1. Team Leader (tenuredcadre)

2. Senior Resident (3rd yearteacher)

3. Junior Resident (2nd yearteacher)

4. Beginning Teacher

5. Intern Teacher

6. Assistant Teachers(Part-Tome Trainers)

7. Two Undergraduate StudentTeachers (Conventional)

8. Six-Hour Team Aide

9. Two Part-Time High SchoolStudents

10. Two Parent Volunteers

Extra personnel not counted as partof the 10 member team.

The ten-member team model includestrainees from the 7 year coop- erative teacher-training programof the University of Coloradoand the Cherry Creek Schools. The first two years of this program aretradi- tional, and held on the Boulder Campus. In the spring of the Sopho- more year, a jointcommittee of Cherry Creek staffmembers and the University select the trainees who gointo the last five years of the program. The Juniors and Seniors then begin a sequencewhich leads, over five years, tothe culminating position of SeniorResident. -At the end of the Senior Resident's yearin the differentiated staffing model, a joint committee of professorsand staff members of Cherry Creek meet and decide whether that personbecomes tenured and a permanent staff member of theCherry Creek Schools.

In Cherry Creek's differentiatedstaff, the Juniors and Seniors of the University of Coloradobecome "undergraduatAssistants". The salary of the Junior is $750.00and the salary of the Senior is $1,000.00. The "Intern" or 5th year stucentreceives $5,400.00. The Junior Resident is second-yearteacher on the Ealary schedule andthe Senior Resident is third yearteacher on the salary schedule. Progression, on the pay scale, is based ontask differentiation. Tasks are determined by the team, as atask force, before contracting 118 "move with the district. One weakness inthis model is the built-in corrected by new models up or moveout" feature. This is now being evolving for the schoolyear.1970-71.

The criteria for theselection of team members are: model. 1. Willingness to work in adifferentiated staffing

2. Divergent yet complementarysubject matter competencies.

3. Complementary yet divergentmethodological competencies.

4. Balance of variety offeatures such as age, sex, etc.

5. Compatability.

The criteria for theselection of team members are:

1. Performance.

2. Willingness to work hard.

3. Willingness to acceptresponsibility.

4. Ability to relate with others.

5. Training and experience.

The responsibilities ofthe team leader include:

1. The responsibility to convene. of the team. 2. The transference ofleadership to other members

3. The responsibility tomake decisions when there is no consensus.

4. The approval of all studentlearning contracts.

5. Curriculum development andinstructional supervision.

Phasing into differentiatedstaffing, says Dr. Pino, is a pro- cess of graduallyworking into the modelestablished by the district's be a staff. Actual cost comparisonshould not be based on wiv.-At may senior staff, A model can beestablished with an establishedstaff because attrition allows thehiring of new staff on adifferentiated district basis. Receptivity on a building levelis more feasible than on through the level. Dr. Pino advises adistrict to get official sanction organization and to get allbuilding level models approved byall staff members involved. 119 Next year, for the firsttime, there will be a differentiated staffing model at the senior highschool level. Because of the increased modular schedule atthat level, the cost for thismodel was arrived atby using one da: module multiplied by the 180 days of the school-year as a unit The roles of the team members will be vertical. There will b ician-Assessors, Prescriber- Contractors, General Practianers, etc. Subj ect-matter specialists will be encouraged to developmethodological competencies so that they can function in more diverse rolesthan just subject area teadhing. Program evaluation was discussed next. Dr. Pino said that each school.has its own model but each has thefollowing components:

1. Attitudinal surveys of parents, staff, andstudents.

2. Test score comparisons.

3. Statistical information on such matters aswhether in fact more small groupsdo develop out of larger modules,whether more or less children are being referred to thepsychologists, etc.

4. Affective domain measures such as the APSSindicators of quality which includes: inter-personal regard, inter-personal worth, inter-personal interaction, degree programindividualization.

5. Outside visitation.

6. Self- evaluation.

7. Cost-benefit analysis based on output measures.

One of the final questions from membersof the workshop elicited from Dr. Pino the criteria for movementof students in the school as:

1. Open eni liment that allows the dhild to enterschool when he is declared ready by parent, teadher andthe child. (The youngest child in a Cherry Creek school is 3 years,9 months.)

2. The judgment that more than 50% nf achild's time is being spent with one family ratherthan with another, at which point in time that child is deemed to be a member ofthe next higher family.

3. Multi-age grouping in families that permitsflexibility in movement. Some family modules have less thanthree age groups, same have more.

The basis of instructional groupmembership in the family modules is the individual contract and thevariable is how many adults you can have tomanipulate the formation of these instructional groups. Homogeneous gr,:suping comes as a function of theindividualization based on such criteria as: 120 '",,,,,,crryrs,r,,,,.3.,,e1v,-,,,,,,r o, vntr,*!,,,,T.rvr,.- rg,,,,^

SECOND NORTHEAST CONFERENCEON THE INDIVIDUALIZATION OF INSTRUCTION

May 16, 1970

WORKSHOP NO. 1

Mr. Michael Van Ryn and Dr.Theodore Grenda of N.Y.S. Education Department - General Reviewof Basic Elements of Programsfor Indi- vidualized Instruction. It was reported that the NewYork State Ed- ucation Department regional centersplan elaboration on thefollowing points in local conferences inthe fall.

A. Individualized instruction is an attemptto suit materials of instruction, level ofdifficulty, and pace of instruction tothe ability and interest of theindividual student.

B. Clear determination of objectivesof instruction and the means to reach these goals arefirst consideration in changing a program. These might be determined bythe school, community or bythe learner.

1. Individually prescribed instructionis the label that is applied to the system whereobjectives and methods are school determined.

2. Self-directed instruction is where theschool determines the objectives and the studentdetermines the methods and materials to reach the objectives.

3. Personalized instruction draws its namefrom the fact that the learner identifiesthe objectives and uses schoolselected methods.

4. Independent Study is where the learnerdetemines both objectives and the methods toaccomplish the objectives.

C. Reactions to programs in existenceis as follows:

1. Teachers report that there is much morework in carrying out individuali-ed program. 12 2. Students are usually in favorof this type of program, but most schools reportthat between one percent andfive percent of the students seem unableto.make proper use of the newfreedom for self-direction.

3. Parents are at first skeptical,but they seem to approve when they see the increase instudent, enthusiasm that usuallyresults.

4. Traditional discipline problems seemto be greatly re- duced in these programs.

D. The main objective of schoolsin such a program was todevelop independent life-long learnerswith emphasis on attitudes toward learning andipasic study skills. The teacher is a helper, adiagnos- tician rather than the authorityfigure. The school stresses maximum progress for eachstudent rather than group progressin particular content mastery.

E. Evaluation of how well pupils werereaching the specified objectives is not uniform with variousschools using one or more techniques from this list: teacher-made tests, commercialstandardized. tests, subjective teacherevaluations, and student evaluations.

F. Instructional Procedure places stress onindividual diagnosis as contrasted withtraditional programs that"expect more work from those least able to perform or ingiving less recognition tothose who need encouragement most".

G. Factors of Instruction andLearning:

1. Individualized instructio14 is not usedfor all students, nor is it usedin all sUbjects.

2. Learning activities can be prescribedfor the learner or selected by the learner(with or without counsel of theteacher).

3. Learning areas can be devoted to singlediscipline (subject) under supervision of one teacher ormultiple interest, large area with many resources andteachers to provide needed help.

4. Time schedule can vary from ordinaryassignment of a set number of minutes persubject per day in some schools toflexible choices with larger blocks of timein some form of modular scheduling.

H. Instructional Materials range from traditionalcommercial materiais that can be broken intounits or single concept packages through teacher prepared materialsin single units to those research project or commercially preparedsingle units. 123 3

I. Main problems reported byschools embarking on programs of this type:

1. Money - requires shiftof spending patterns.

2. Teachers - have to learn newrole with stress on inter- personal relations.

3. Parents - particularlyof college bound are concerned.

4. Pupils - find it difficult todirect themselves

5. Lack of knowledge ofmaterials.

6. Reporting pupil progress.

J. Suggested Administrator's Role:

1. Plan carefully.

2. Implement in a gradual manner.

3. Provide extensive inservicework for teachers.

4. Keep School Board and parentsfully informed on reasons and steps in program.

5. Provide sufficient lead time sothat no steps are taken in haste. ti- 6. Acquire materials early enoughfor teadhers to become familiar with them during inservicework and prior to student use.

7. Where possible, involve the parentsin discussion of steps in theimplementation.

8. Avoid over selling of ideas.

11"7'' 9. Keep the main goal of providingfor maximum individual progress.
