News Of The Week
At Appalachian Hi
Students Rated
Members of the student hpdy
of Appalachian High School
participated last week in a self
evaluation of social behavior
and personality traits. The pur
pases of the evaluation are to
make students more aware of
desirable personal traits, to let
them know how teachers arrive
at ratings used on permanent
school records, and to give them
a share in the rating.
Three phases of the rating
arc the self-rating, the commit
to* r?tiog by members of the
homeroom, and the teachers'
ratings from all six classes and
homeroom. An average of teach
er ratings, rather than the rat
ing of an individual teacher, be
comes ? part of the student's
record and is used in providing
information to college represen
tatives and employers.
During homeroom on the first
day of the rating, students dis
cussed the meanings of such
traits ss cooperation, initiative,
and maturity when applied to
school situations. After the dis
cussion the student then rated
himself on the ten chsracter
istics listed on school records.
On fbt second day the home
room divided into committees
to rate other members of their
homeroom. Within the next
week every student will have
an opportunity to compare his
