CHAPEL HILL McHENRY Gifted, Special Programs At Johnsburg Outlined The Office of the Superin­ tendent of Public Instruction and Northern Illinois univer­ sity sponsored a Northern Re­ gion Gifted Program Reim­ bursement meeting recently at the Northern Illinois un­ iversity center in DeKalb. The afternoon session consisted of a presentation of exemplary programs for children with special abilities. Johnsburg school was one of fourteen northern Illinois schools chos­ en to demonstrate at the meet­ ing. Pupils from Johnsburg school who made the trip presented concepts used at the Junior high in self-pacing algebra (Ty- mia Durnil, Gayle Garn, Steve Wolf, Bud Pflug, Sue Scott), the electronics club (Mike Caj- thaml and N'icki Diedrich), art (Ron Dew), the independent study program (Debbie Howen- stine), and multi-text science (Kevin Hudson). Educators at­ tending the meeting were en­ couraged to question the pu­ pils concerning the program at Johnsburg school. Insight about the program w?.s also gained by conversing with Don­ ald Hruby, math teacher who also made the trip, and Duane Andreas, project director. Everyone seemed most in­ terested and complimentary concerning the innovations pre­ sented. Although the elementary tea­ chers and pupils were not rep­ resented at the Reimbursement meeting at DeKalb, they were represented that evening at Johnsburg Junior high school when Dr. Rodney Borstad of Northern Illinois university brought his university classes to Johnsburg school. A pro­ gram by the Johnsburg tea­ chers and administrative staff was presented to over forty educators from the McHenry county area and ten of Dr. Borstad's undergraduate pupils from NIU. Pupils involved in either accelerated and/or multi-talented programs at Johnsburg school answered questions of the educators after the presentation by the Johns­ burg teachers directly involved in suiting special needs of tal­ ented pupils. Teachers making presentations were Mary Rose (fourth and fifth multi-talented class), Ann Latz (second arid third grade multi-talented class), Grace Vyduna and Ma­ bel Weber (Sullivan materials), Mike DeWolfe (multi-text sci­ ence), Marilyn Truckenbrod (kindergarten), James Van- Bosch (independent study), and Margaret Stenzel (self-pacing linguistics). The most provoc­ ative topic seemed to be the in­ dependent study program. After the presentation those present were given a tour of the Junior high facilities. The learning center, individualized reading program, science labs, labs, closed circuit television, electronics club, and self-pac­ ing subjects seemed to be of greatest interest. Some tea­ chers then went to the ele­ mentary school where Mrs. Latz, who teaches a group of second and third grade multi- talented pupils in the afternoon, explained her multi-aged pro­ gram which was begun this year. The half day second and third grade combination of Mrs. Latz involves children with special ability in math, science and social studies activities in an "ungraded" situation as much as possible. The Math Workshop (Encyclopedia Britannica pro­ gram) seems well suited to math needs. It is a discovery approach to learning and is • quite challenging, which these children need," according to Mrs. Latz. Many math pages have an atmosphere ofapuzzle. Mrs. Latz's SRA social stud­ ies program involves children in many activities, among which are economic principles through role playing, etc. Chil­ dren are also doing research in small groups and studying real people and real places. The sci­ ence materials of Mrs. Latz are McGraw Hill prepared units, an investigation type pro­ gram. Science materials are supplied for each pupil, and the experiments are open-ended. The program for mu'ti- talented pupils in Mrs. Rose's fourth and fifth grade combin­ ation is quite similar to that of Mrs. Latz. Laboratory units in social studies focus on social psychology. Seven units are contained in a pupil resource book, and records are keyed to project books. Pupils learn to collect, record and tabulate data about themselves, their class­ mates, and others. They analyze the results of the data and pre­ sent their findings on simple charts and tables. The science program of Mrs. Rose's multi-talented fourth and fifth grade class at Johns­ burg school is based on in­ dividualized project work. It is hoped that the child will engage in questioning and, as he uses both his mind and his hands, will arrive at valid conclusions from h's own observations, comparisons and generaliza­ tions. The process of discovery for oneself is something more valuable than the answer. Stu­ dents learn by doing. An ob­ jective of the science program is to acquire an awareness of the world of science and ar way of approaching and enjoying sci­ ence. Research and independent study are encouraged. Mrs. Rose's math program emphasizes the discovery method and is self-paced (chil­ dren woi-k at their own rate). They have an individual folder to keep up-to-date and grade their own practice exercises. Children may work in groups and help each other. Drill in number facts and computation's given to those whojneed it. The main theme of the pro­ gram for multi-talented pupils at Johnsburg school is to as­ sist talented pupils in develop­ ing their talents to the utmost. PUBLIC NOTICE!
