The Huron Expositor, 1976-12-02, Page 5ment of the curriculum and chose workshops on individualized instruction as the means to set their methods down. As a result of the workshops the teachers will prepare a report to be sent to a curriculum committee consisting of teachers and parents. The report will be reviewed and sent back to the staffs for final editing before it becomes policy. , Mr. Mills said the teachers hoped to lay out the steps they feel are necessary to allow a child to develop reading skills and use them to benefit from reading material in all subject matter both in school and out. The workshops were established according to zones that evenly divided the schools in the two counties into four groups. Zone One included Wingham, Qoderich, Clinton and Kings- bridge, Zone Two included Exeter, Mt. Carmel, Zurich and St. Joseph's, Zone Three included St. Columban, Seaforth, Dublin, Hesson and Kinkera and Zone Four was made up of St. Mary's and Stratford schools.
