OUTGOING TEACHERS' PRESIDENT DISCUSSES MODERN EDUCATION ual assessment of each stud- ent's progress and problems. He pointed out that the emphasis in education used to be on straight academic education. Educators are now realizîng that they "must prepare the child for the total life situation." The education- al umbrella should cover five basic aspects of learning- academic, physicai, social, emotional and *moral. 0f course, this type of teacbing requires a great deal from the individual teachers. Pitt admitted "I'm old-fash- ioned. I like to think there is a certain amount of dedication involved in teaching. A good teacher bas to enjoy teaching.' The Northumberland-Durh- am Board recently approved a Ministry of Education recoin- mendation giving public school teachers five additional non-teaching days at the end of the school year. And next year there will be several non-teaching days during the year. For the students these will be hoidays. but for the teachers'they will be days to pursue professional develop- ment and help plan the curriculum and the program for the school. In the past, the curriculum tended to be deveioped in a rather piece-meal fashion, a haîf hour at lunchtimes or after school. This year the students will be let out early, on June 22nd in most cases, and the teachers will come back to scehool the following week.

FARM & HOME WEEK -This year, the field days wiil be.,beld. on July loth, llth and l2th at the Elora Research Station beginning at 10 a.m. in the morning to 3:30 p.m. Each of these days there wiil be special dispiays and exhibits and a chance wili be given to discuss farm prob- lems with facuity and staff. On Juiy lth the officiai opening of the Beef Cattie Research Centre wili be heid, as weil as Crops and Soils tours. On the llth the Dairy Cattie Research Centre wili be opened and Crops and Soils tours wili also be availabie. On the 12th along with the Crops and Soils Tours, there wiii be a special Ladies program on the Guelph cam- pus. Aiso on this day there wili be a bus sponsored by the Pitt stressed. Various consult- ants wiii be available to heip the teaching staff work out the program of instruction and the curriculum for the foilowing year. As far as the professional development of individual teachers is concerned, the non-teaching days next year will allow a teacher to make much better use of speciai seminars and work-shops. Al too often under the existing system a teacher can't get the most out of an evening seminar or workshop. Pitt expiained that if you have to rush 'out of schooi, cram in dinner (or miss it aitogether) drive 50 miles to a meeting and stili have a lessonready forý the next day, you realiy can't give an evening session your full concentration. In the long run it is the student who benefits from professional development days. "Teachers have to continue to improve and broaden their thinking," he said, "if they are to be truly effective. " 11 Tying in with his theme of education for the total chiid Principal Pitt pointed to 'a "P-D" day in Ottawa iast year when the featured speak- er discussed Moral Education. The aim of that session was to help teachers to be more sensitive and objective in making decisions which affect their pupils. Pitt was firm in his opposit- ion to governmental cutbacks in the educational spending ceiling per student. He impli- ed that there are some areas of education spending that couid be reduced, such as administration and mainten- ance, but not when it comes to the quality of education the children receive. "The great- est asset this country has," he asserted, "is the education of its youth.", The South Courtice Princi- pal aiso discussed the need to get parents and the commun- ity involved in the education process. One means of achiv- ing this involvement is through the establishment of school committees. South Courtice has recently set up a' School committee, comprised of interested par- ents and representatives of the, business community, as weil as one or two members of teaching staff. One of the things the committee looks at is the kind of report cards that are most valuable, particular- ly fron. the point of view of parents. Sbould numerical marks be used, or grades, such as A, B, C or are anecdotal comments by the, Durham County Soul and Crop Improvement Association go- ing to, the Research Station as \veli as arrangements made for the Ladies to visît the college of Consumer and Family studies. There is a possihiiity that there will be room on this bus and if you wish to leave your name at our office at Bowmanviile, phone 623-3348, you miay be able to go with this group. The Elora Research, Station is located about 10 miles north of Guelph.
