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.
