DR. JOSEPH CECH Assess /K-5 Math Program Dr. Joseph Cech, MathemaUcjwconsultant for the State of Illinois, is presently working with District 15 in evaluat ing the newly adopted Appleton-Centruy - Croft - New Century Math Modules program. Dr. Cech disclosed that the Math evaluation procedure being used is the first implementation of an "Instructional Monitoring System" in the United States. This approach utilizes recent development in computer technology and statistical theory. The computer program which will be used was developed by an Air Force team in Texas to evaluate various aspects of the Air Force system. The procedure was refined at Southern Illinois university to make this evaluation tool particularly adaptable to educational evaluation. Mrs. Dorothy Ullrich, principal of Edgebrook school, volunteered her second, third and fourth grades for this purpose. The procedure requires painstakingly ac­ curate recording of students' previous achievement in mathematics which will then be compared to this year's achievement. Mrs. Jay Gard­ ner and Mrs. Dorothy Virgens are the two secretaries charged with this important aspect of the Math evaluation procedure. Since this year's Math program is totally new, variables had to be defined and stated. These variables will be important factors in the final analysis of the data. The administrators of District 15 are anxiously awaiting the outcome of this evaluation, but at the same time some consideration for the new Math program will be given, since it has only been in the district starting with September of this school year. As with any major change in curriculum, the students and teachers need time to adjust. Dr. Cech also suggested that District 15 evaluate its Reading program this year since a change in this area is being contemplated. As a result of his suggestion, District 15 plans to evaluate the Math and Reading programs for several years ahd, perhaps, make it a con­ tinuing practice using the procedure outlined by Dr. Cech.

Feb. 9,1972) Area Schools File Report On Desegregation The office of Superintendent of Public Instruction has r e l e a s e d p r e l i m i n a r y i n ­ formation on the filing of desegregation reports which were required of the state's 1,146 school districts under recently adopted rules and p r o c e d u r e s g o v e r n i n g desegregation in Illinois. The initial reports detail racial composition of student enrollment and outline programs undertaken by the school districts to reduce and prevent racial segregation. Robert Lyons, director of OSPI's Department of Equal Educational Opportunity, said that though his staff is still in the early stages of evaluating reports, the initial findings factually indicate racial segregation is a serious problem in a number of Illinois school districts. Lyons characterized the response from school districts as one of cooperation. He added his staff is ready to assist school districts in the development of comprehensive and educationally sound desegregation plans. McHenry area school districts have filed reports. East campus lists 547 freshmen and 539 sophomores. In the freshman class there are 286 boys (2 Indians and 2 Spanish Americans) and 261 girls, (1 Oriental and 2 Spanish Americans). Among the sophomores there are 287 boys, (2 Indians and 1 Spanish American) and 252 girls (1 Spanish American). At West campus there are 428 juniors, 205 boys (3 Spanish Americans) and 223 girls. There are 397 seniors, 225 boys and 172 girls, of whom 2 are Spanish American.
