Pcis- session Nov 1st, Suburbanite to friend: "I'm thinking of becoming a bigamist. There's just too much grass in my yard for one wife to cut." By Arnold ,blathers Principal, Huron Centennial School, Brucefield • During the last few years, and especially since the Hall-Dennis report of 1968, many people in Ontario have been taking an interest in non-graded schools. What is a non-graded school? The concept of a non-graded school was popularized in the United States about ten years ago by the authors Goodlad and Anderson. Their book the Non- Graded Elementary School started the search for non-graded schools and programs. It's a futile search because a non- graded school simply doesn't exist. Non-gradedness is an idea. Simply stated it means that the children at one grade level do not all learn the same thing at the same time or in the same room. There are as many patterns of non-gradedness as there are schools. Some schools 'test ail, pupils in spelling and establish spelling groups containing pupils of close to equal ability. Thus, Grade four, five, and six children, who all spell about the same, go to the same room for spelling per- iods. Other schools kee p all the Grade five children in the same room for spelling but have groUps of children working at various grade levels. The same concept may be applied to mathematics, reading, or creative writing. Another popular pattern is the age-grade organization. Classes are set up on the basis of age and stay-- together through their eight years of elementary school. The teacherg group the children within these classes for reading, mathematics, and spel- ling, but teach subjects such as social studies and science to the complete class. Schools organized. in this way call their groups by age, 'e.g. the eight year olds, the twelve year olds, etc. A different type of non-gradee dness is called the multi-age group or multi-grade group.' Children from Grades 4, 5, and 6 are placed An one classroom. The teacher condUcts a course of study at each grade level but A school in Joplin, Missduri, worked out a system whereby pupils were streamed" for cer- tain subjects but retained the idea of a homeroom teacher for other subjects. Reading and English skink are streamed for one part of the day, mathematics is streamed differently for another part of the day, and pupils work in their grade placed classroom for the balance of the ,day. The timetable might look like thisR:eading and Language - 9 a.m. - 11 a.m. Mathematics - 11 a.m. - noon Homeroom grades in after- noon. Groups or levels are deter- mined as follows: Group 1 compares to Grade 3. 3 Groups. 2 compares to Grade il Group 3 compares to Grade 4. Group. 4 compares to Grade 4 v2 Group 5 compares to 5. Group2. 6 compares to Grade 5 11 A Grade four pupil can be in level 3 reading and language, and level two mathematics. Another Grade four pupil from the same class could be in level 3 reading and language, but level five math- ematics. Both pupils do the same work in the afternotm but are grouped according to their ability in reading and mathematics. In this case their reading is otintia-r but there is consideraPie dif- ference in their ability in mathe- matics. At this time it is probably obvious that no single pattern of non-graded organization is better than any other. We can only say that some form of non-graded- ness is likely better than none at all. Non-graded, while yet in its infancy, has been superceded by the open-concept. Openness, like non-graded, is a complex notion. An open concept school does not mean a large physical area, in fact some opee area schools operate a very closed system of education. Openness is a synonym of trust. It refers chiefly to a teaching approach which disre- gards the traditional pupil- teacher methods acid the lock step prografn. The emphasis is dir- 'ected toward classrooms in which 1) the room is decentralized into groups- and work areas, 2) the children choose some of their activities, 3) the teacher provides rich learning experiences tffid materials, 4) the teacher works With individuals or small groups LI seldom presenting a 1,1esson" to the whole class. While there are approximately 360 open plan sehool buildings in Ontario, no one-would hazard a guess at the number of schools in which open concept education is being init- iated. With the emphasis 4on trust between the staff and students, libraries are used by any student at any time of the day, audio visual machines are operated WI my children_whe have taken basic instructions in their operation, and pupils are not tied to one roorn or one teacher all day every day. It is hoped that the student assumes greater responsibility for his education and the by- product is heightened motivat- ion. The idea of the open concept school was practiced in Britain after the Second World War. Some excellent films are .now available 'showing children in British Primary Schools which operate ,under the open concept plan. Undoubtedly this is a gross over simplification of both trends in our elementary educational patterns, however, it may serve to establish the idea that there is no one way to establish ungraded or provide open concept schools. Why, bother with these changes? As parents, we sit down today with our seven or eight year olds to discuss the kind of worldly knowledge which our parents passed on to us as teenagers. Sesame Street and the cultural and technological change which it represents is a real challenge to the educational community. 14-41ig -MAIM EXPOSITOR, SEAFORTH, ONT, OCT. 21, 1971 Grey Merchant Passes Suddenly allows Grade fives to work above or below their grade level. She also provides material for Grade four and six pupils to work above and below their grade leve 1 and, therefore, she is really teaching Grade, 3, 4, 5,6, and 7 courses. This resembles the organization of a rural school but, reduces the age difference of pupils to three years and lets them range across the grades in various subjects. The unit system is one of the better known non-graded or- ganization. It allows pupils to move through units of work and negates the necessity for repeating a whole year, or going on to the next grade of work before the pupil is ready. It divorces the promotion system from the cal- efidar.
