teachers examine halldennis report the hndermb report on education went under the microscope on nov 16 at the hilton county conference at white oaks secondary school in oakville paul martindale of the acton staff was a coplanner in discussions and concluded from the conference that many of the 260 changes recommended in the report can be brought about by the classroom teacher rather than at the administrative level the entire success of the halldennis report hinges on the attitude and ability of each administrator and teacher they must first want the change and then have the freedom and ingenuity to carry mt out enrolment at teachers colleges indicates that there will be- a 60 per cent surplus of teachers next year this will undoubtedly bring about greater competition for positions and thus a higher standard for teachers mormfig discussions in oakville dealt mainly with major philosophical considerations it was concluded that leathers should be social engineers making citizens for a better world they should not merely perpetuate the old accepted ways but equip young people to adapt to a changing society by examining the present and the past knowledge is to be considered a process not a thing that can be packaged and put out teaching should involve a free flow of ideas rather than an indoctrination session teachers should be open to student ideas and values each student is to be considered an individual who will work at an individual pace with individual interests and needs the new system would be childcentered rather than teacher or system centered the question arises how teachers can accomplish this in a classroom of 30 within a specified time the general conclusion semmed to be that more could be done at the teacher level than at the administration level to bring improvements in this area many teachers fear that a nonstructured concept will mean a breakdown in class discipline resulting in havoc however under the new system the studeni should be taught responsibility so that strict authority is not necessary the report suggests a decentralization of the power structure the department of education would be phased out to services only decisions could be madd on the leached level education will move into the age of technology with resource centres and large informal classrooms emphasis will be on the weatrve nature of lejrning through discoycry exploration and inquiry visuji resource centres will be in each school to produce shdqs film mnps and records also attending the conference from acton high school guidance counsellor brian
