In-Service Program During the school year, District 156 offers op­ portunities to the staff, th r oug h i n-se r. v ice programs, to continue their professional growth. Professional development is crucial if the staff is to provide up-to-date, relevant learning experiences for the students. The ever in­ creasing quantity of knowledge and its growing complexity require con­ tinual study. In addition, developments in learning and teaching theories and in concepts relating to social and emotional dynamics require additional training. The first in-senvice program offered this year was conducted around the topic of "Improving Student Vocabulary", presented by Ms. Dee Johnson from Warren Township high school. Ms. Johnson shared ideas of how to help students get more out of an assigned activity. She stressed various techniques to im­ prove a student's vocabulary and how these activities can help to increase the student's comprehension skills. She also stressed the importance of introductory activities so that students will not ex­ perience frustration when being introduced to new vocabulary and materials. The second in-service revolved around the topic of "Organizational Strategies for Small Group Presen­ tation", presented by Mrs. Jill Simon of the Educational Progress corporation. Mrs. Simon indicated various strategies that teachers could use in the classroom to divide students into small groups to work on assign­ ments. Essentially she talked about ability grouping. achievement grouping, interest grouping, and grouping around various topics or themes. She also stressed on how to group students so that the students are responsible for in­ structing and correcting the lessons. The third in-service presented by Ms. . Mary Meade was a seminar regarding the importance of an adolescent's image of himself-herself as a male- female. The seminar stressed the importance of feeling comfortable and accepting one's self as a person with a sexual iden­ tity. Ms. Meade helped teachers become aware of how students perceive their maleness or femaleness affects their attitude toward school, learning, and their peers. I What do B.L.
