It will be conducted by the St. Joseph Sisters of the London Diocese. John Vintar, Superintendent of Education, presented the 76 - page Report on Schools for 1970- 71 to members of the board. The report was prepared in two parts. The first part provides general information on program which is applicable to all schools in the two counties. All trustees were given a copy of the report and each school will receive a report as well in order that the staff will be infor- med. Irl the Primary Division the language arts are a key parr of the total curriculum --listening, speaking, reading and writing activities make up approximate].) 605 of the daily learning exper- ience. The report states two Schools have initiated continuous prog- ress programs arid it is anticipat- ed the primary divisions in all schools will commence contin- uous progress in the fall of 1971- 72 term.

In the Junior Division several schools are utilizing a limited form of teacher exchange accord ing to subject area expertise of the teachers concerned. Teachers are encouraging pupils to engage in individual and group research projects be- cause this approach to learning develops those skills of research and enquiry which form the bas- ic fibre of all learning exper- iences. Activity centres and interest centres have been established in most classes. At these centres pupils may independently eng- age in remedial or enrichment activities. Teachers in the Junior Division are beginning to make more use of the community and commun- ity resources. Plans are underway for the in- itiation of continuous progress in the year 1972-73 at the time when pupils from primary divis- ion will have moved into the junior division. In the Intermediate Division the report states that in the sub- ject areas of science, history and geography teachers are en- couraging pupils to engage in research projects. A pilot proj- ect for September will include three schools -- St. Michael's of Stratford, St. Mary's of God- erich and St. Boniface of Zurich when each school will initiate a six-day cycle. On days 1 to 5 pupils will follow the regular academic program. Day 6 will be an "option day" which will be divided in four quarters. On REDI-MIX CONCRETE (ALSO FORM WORK) McCann Const Lt‘ DASHWOOD Phone 237-3381 or 237-3422 Day 6 each Grade 7 and 8 pupil will be able to select four differ- ent options. Options may include such areas? as film making, public speaking,1 home economics, drama or some specific area of subject matter in the existing courses of study. Personnel from the community may be invited to assist in some of the options. It is felt that the THURSDAY, JUNE 3. 1971 two options of home economics and industrial arts are very lim- ited in scope and may not appeal to the wide range of interests found in the average intermed- iate class of today. It is the intent of this pilot project to provide the pupils with a wider range of alternat- ives which may serve to develop more viable alternative in educ- ation. ,.0,..011._.,.: __Impry CUSTOM APPLICATION ANHYDROUS AMMONIA Order your pre -plant application now ! !
