"The mix makes the classroom come alive." he said. He also feels destreaming will help students improve social skills like leadership, responsibility and understanding of their peers. Students are greatly influenced by their peers, and segregating them Destreaming means putting stu- dents of different abilities in the same classes, instead of dividing them into separate levels, as is done in Grades 10-13. Destreaming may even be advanced to Grade 10 in future. "This is not a new concept in education; it has been around for hundreds of years," said Di Ianni, the board's superintendent of educa- tion program services. "We veered away from it at the secondary school level, but it has always been a way of organizing classes." 8atterms/tapes/C0s/atxess0rieyadapters not Included unless specified.

"For students in Grade 9, this is nothing different from what they've had in elementary schools," said Angelo Di Ianni of the Halton Roman Catholic School Board. But while there has been hand- wringing by some teachers and par- ents, local educators say they're prepared for destreaming, and the new high school students are already used to it. Halton's Grade 9 classes will be at the centre of a couple of major changes in the educational system. The fledgling high school stu- dents will face destreaming, plus reading and writing tests, two changes mandated by the provincial Ministry of Education.

"The intent is to continue to meet their needs, but not to pull The level students continue at in mathematics, for example, can affect their career prospects. "The biggest advantage of the change is that it allows another year in terms of maturity, for students to make better choices for Grades IO, 11 and 12," said Zywine, the board's superintendent of instruc- tional services. Joanne Zywine of the Halton Board of Education also sees some silver linings in destreaming Grade "They are pivotal years in terms of general knowledge," said Di Ianni. "The students are in their teens and having their own interest- ing times. Keeping them motivated and focused on school is a chal- lenge." The board has placed major emphasis on staff development for teachers who handle the transition years of Grades 7, 8 and 9. "There has been a thrust.to reduce the number of teachers deal- ing with individual students, so there's less confusion in the mind of the student," said Di lanni. "There will be a lot more personal mentor- ing and less of an opportunity to get lost in the big, big, world of the sec- ondary school." in schools can send out the wrong message, he said.

She said there is recognition that parents want and need to be involved in their children's read.. ing and writing. The idea is that the ministry of education and training wants to get information and accountability. "lt's all-important to iocis on the basic skills," said Zywine. Students across the province will be given a number of reading and writing assignments and marked on a six-point scale. Grade 9 students will be at the centre of another change when provincial testing of their reading, and writing skills is implemented during the school year.
