Of the nearly 2,000 Title HI ESEA Projects concerning innovations in education that have been funded to date by the federal government, School District 12" of Johnsburg had the honor of being featured along with Avon, Connecticut and Washington, D.C. in the recent issue of PACE REPORTS. The University of Kentucky, an advisory committee commissioned by the U.S. Office of Education, chooses unique and interesting projects and reports on them to educators plays a major role in teaching foreign language and art to youngsters in the three area schools. throughout the U.S. via the PACE Publication. The amount of Title HI grant received during the first and second funding period by Johnsburg has amounted to $99,018. The grant was entitled Dual Enrollment Innovations -- a plan under which students are enrolled projects. The funds are granted to public school boards, rather than to the non-public schools and are used to benefit the child and not the non-public school. As stated in the article, Johnsburg's dual enrollment project centers around the new junior high, which opened in half-day in a public school, and November. The school islocathalf- day in a non-public school about a block from St. John and which encompassed some •/cne Baptist Catholic school. unique curriculum innovations. 1,000 INVOLVED Approximately 1,000 grade school youngsters are involved in the Title in project operating in District 12. tThe U.S. O.E. encourages arrangements whereby noo -public school children benefit from Title III mow ' lr flow (Heavy Duty) Anytime- Days or nites Prompt service Driveways -- Parking subdivisions a ®i Thus, youngsters from both of these latter schools jure within easy walking distance. They come over for various parts of the day to participate in activities which their own schools cannot offer. The article states that the elementary school, junior high and parochial school have been hooked together by telephone and close-circuittelevision. The closed-circuit TV plays a major role in the teaching of foreign language and art to youngsters in the three schools, beginning with grade three. Other dual enrollment courses and activities include science, self-pacing, mathematics, a "creativity room", group guidance, and independent study program, use of the junior high library facilities, a hot lunch program and a dual enrollment band. The Johnsburg board of education granted the project director, Duane D. Andreas, a sabbatical leave during the 1966-67 school year so that he could study curriculum and ad? ministration as it relates to the dual enrollment project. This ye •, In addition to directing the project, Andreas also serves as principal of the new junior high and teaches two science classes there, and is involved in curriculum work. The article then went on to give guidelines concerning how dual enrollment programs could be inaugurated. The article states that because of the project, three parochial schools in nearby school districts have started dual enrollment programs. TEAM TEACIT When first planning the pror ject, Andreas wondered whether teachers would be willingtorelease their students from class so that they might work independently in the junior high learning center or pursue their own interests in the creativity room as part of an independent study program. This has not been a problem, he says. In fact, he notes that sixth grade teachers decided to team teach this year in order to more easily free their students for out-of-class activity. Furthermore, he says, there is now planning in the school concerning greater individualization of school activities for the next school year. Andreas intends to write another continuation grant application after the current project ends in September, 1068. EARLY PROBLEMS According to Andreas, some of the problems 'encountered during the early planning stages of the project were: -Getting consultant help and communicating to consultants the aims of the project. -Gathering information concerning creativity testing and defining creativity. -Non-resident dual enrollment pupils. ( -Gathering adequate means to disseminate information. -Communicating with people concerning what duel enrollment was. -Involving teachers in changing their roles as part of the project.
