BY JANET MILLER
Bru 'Ce=county-elementary school teachers--
will get their first glimpse of the County
Board of 'Education's Values and Morals'
Program at a briefing session on June 24.
The mammoth task of integrating Values
education concepts with existing curriculum
courses has been completed. Guide lines and
supplementary materials prepared by the
Board of supervisory staff and their
divisional committees will be on hand for the
teachers' perusal.
"We are off to a great start" is the firm
conviction of Al Leeder, convener of the
program. Leeder enthusiastically commends
the Bruce Board for "making it possible for
teachers to delve more deeply into the
significance of values education in the
on-going teaching process."
Development of a sense of self-worth is
the key-stone of the. V & M program says
Leeder. How a' child feels about himself
affects hoW he views' his world. Leeder is
convinced that persons with a high degree of
self-esteem usually have a successful
achievement level and a greater ability to
sustain relationships.
The new materials have been field tested
with surprisingly positive evaluations.. The
elementary school's reading and literature
program under the supervision of Ina Mary
Rutherford, Board supervisor, is divided into
two sections, print and non-print. A suitable
list of Teference books and films is being
compiled as a resource for teachers.
Sample lessons illustrating values found
in biblical stories have been prepared for
each divisional level. To provide a more
comprehensive understanding of world
religions, exploration of the significance of
religious, festivals will become part of the
reading and literature curriculum. The Bible
as literature will be introduced as an optional
subject: Values questions will be pursued as
they arise in the regular reading program
and children will be encouraged to work
through their own questions.
Classroom councils will become a forum of
discussing moral dilemmas. Bev McNeill,
guidance supervisor describes the class as a
mini-society in which the deciSions made
influence the life of the whole group. This is
—supported by Clarke Birchard, supervisor of
outdo6r education, who cites as an example
the situation where students in the camping
program who shirk their duties, are, confront-
cd by their peers with their responsibilities.
The lines of 'communication opened in this
way will benefit teachers' and pupils alike
Birchard contends.
Morals and values components are
identified in all subjects covered in the
environmental studies and outdoor educa-
tion program and are outlined in a supple-
ment attached to the teacher's curriculum
guide. Respect for others is a value inherent
in the home and family course. Appreciation
and responsibility for the environment is a
,natural outcome of the outdoor eduCation
curriculum.
In the area of special education, materials
tttdeveloped by other divisions will be used
where they.effectively relate to the particular
needs of children in this program., Philoso-
phical statements have been prepared as
guidelines for the teachers responsbile for
the 25 special education classes. Ron Clarke,
special education supeivisor asserts child-
ren's feeling reactions are a significant
guide for the special education teacher.
History and geography subjects present
considerable potential for dealing with broad
social issues as well the Opportunity to
encourage attitudes which form the basis of
good citizenship. Teaching techniques to
assist in dilemma solving are included with
the supplementary material for these
courses.
Toward Affective Development Kits al-
ready in use in the school system emphasize
concepts which encourage awareness of self
and others. County School Superintendent
Keith Waldie contends that development of
a healthy set of values and morals which lead
to self-respect and respect for others can
have far-reaching —social • implications. A
child who values his worth as a person is
much better equipped to deal with harmful
social trends,. such as abuse of drugs and
alcohol said Waldie.
