State Choral Festival And Concert Members
New Program To
Be Enacted At
Grimsley High ^
“A new way of expressing the
old ideas in a way to make learn
ing a more profitable experience”
is one idea of a new teaching
method to be tried at Grimsley
next year.
The new program, which as yet
has no name, incorporates ideas
from Glasser and other similar
programs.
“We don’t have an exact idea
of what the program is like, but
it has several new ideas, which
should help the students learn,"
remarked Miss Tamhlsm. “It
probably will not have a pass-
fail system, though.”
All students and teachers will
be involved in the new program,
and it is hoped that this will
prove a precedent for the future,
not just a one-year program.
Meetings for the development
of this program are to be held
this summer. Students are in
vited to attend but only for act
ual planning. “These (the meet
ings) are not walk-in, walk-out
affairs. But, if anyone is serious
about helping, by all means
come.”
Areas to be discussed at the
meetings concern the most ef
fective techniques and how to
use these ideas best.
The materials to be covered are
identical to the ones used now;
however, the teaching methods
might be changed.
“We hope the students will
benefit from this and that this
will be a worthwhile endeavor,”
reported Miss Taroblyn.
If you are interested in help
ing, contact Mr. Ballance.
