AGE. HU. 8-5406 23A20 Inspector Hallman then called for a frank discussion of the proposed scheme and Mrs. G. Tate ,Jefferson asked if the course shouldn‘t be enriched ra- The evidénéé isTthat the grade system is becoming obsolete.” Discussion Period The slow learner arrives a year later but under the new plan he goes at his own pace and finish- es school with the proper foun- datipn in learning. “Under this new scheme the clever child arrives at year soon- er without gaps in his education and promotion is awarded when ready, at any time of the year. The present disturbing factor of our promotion system is, we are trying to fit all children into the same pattern," he continued. “When a child isn’t ready to pass in June, he should be allow- ed to complete his educational progress for Grade One the next year also taking as much of Grade Two work as possible and continuing on in this fashion un- til he has caught up with his fellow school mates. He is not a failure .he just takes 10 ger.” As for the above avera e child, he should be promoted according to his ability. Hhe should pass into a higher level, master it, passing on to the next level. He won’t miss any fundamentals and he will be a happier and a more interested pupil. He explained that the use of levels, such as A, B and C, in each grade would wipe out the trouble caused by premature promtion, failure and keeping a youngster in a grade when he is ready for promotion. Then Inspector Hallman gave the following outline as a solution. Offers Solution er grade because he lacks the foundation he skipped in the promotion. "This," declared Mr. Hallman, “is wrong. The picture is not right." Principles 0f Unit Promotion Asking his listeners what they thought should be done about these two examples Mr. Hallman then outlined his plan for “Basic Principles for Class- es organized for Unit Promotion.” “The problem with the latter choice is, having once failed, he may fail again. Failure doesn‘t help a child. It either makes him more determined to succeed, or else he gives up trying. 0n the other hand, the gifted child covers the work set out for him in less time than the calen dar requires. Chained intellec- tually to his desk for several months when he is ready to move on, the child may undergo a trying time trying to fill in time, yet still appearing to be busy at his work. Finally, such a child ma yskip a grade . . . and may almost miss passir‘xg marks_ in _thq high- “1. The teacher can promote the child, in spite of his handi- cap. But he has not mastered the foundation he needs for fu- ture new work." “2. The second choice is to let the child remain in the same grade for another year, when he repeats all the work done the year before, even though he had mastered a large part of this work.” Speaking of the child who does not make a grade by the end of a given period of time, Inspec- or Hallman said, “There are two choices a teacher has to make under the system of promotion now in existence." He expressed concern regard- ing the “slow” child and the “bright” child. The ‘normal’ child who moves through the grades in an orderly fashion, completing the work of his grade for that year and who is ready for promotion into the next grade by June of each year, travels more or less smoothly along the path laid out for him and causes very little worry to his teachers or himself. “However,” Mr. Hallman said, “there are fewer 'normal' child- ren than the average parent im- agines”. Two Alternatives Inspector Hallman said that the meeting had been called to discuss fully the problem of pro- motion. Following the tour, the meeting came to order and Inspector Hallman officially welcomed the visitors before beginning his ad- dress. Purpose Of Meeting Miss Audrey Leary. principal of Jefferson School and Miss M. Creasy, Junior room teacher conducted the guests on an in- spection tour of the modern two- roomed school. Not only were the visitors interested in the up- to-date fixtures of the school ‘it- self but also in the very fine work on display which was done by the junior and senior pupils. Inspect Jefiersoq School Almost 100 teachers and student teachers, represent- ing the one and two-roomed schools in Markham, Vaughan and King townships, gathered at Jefferson Public School on Tuesday afternoon, to hear and discuss a new procedure regarding promotion and its problems, as outlined by Mr. Maynard Hallman, Inspector of Public Schools for York 9. Outlines Plan For Unit Promotions For Schools Teachers From ThreeTownships Meet Following the meeting after- noon tea was served by Mrs. Stan Leno, assistant convenor of the Jefferson School Community Club, Mrs. E. A. Terry, school trustee and Mrs. John Pa'ssmore and Mrs. Dickson Miller, wives of the board members. Ownership Heaters Transferred The group will meet again at a future date to discuss this plan further and although Mr. Hall- man would like to see the scheme in efiect as soon as possible that step was left to the discretion of the teachers, at least for the present. Concluding the meeting Inspec- tor Hallman suggested the teach- ers use their own judgment re- garding the number of levels in each of their grades. He also sug~ gested the first month of the year should be spent in review and the next nine months would allowlthree months in each grade if desired. He would like to see promotion WHEN the child is ready withzut the skipping of classes. He does not approve of a child being marked on the report card as a failure because he is down in one subject. First; oral reading may be largely replaced by questionaires which would show if the pupil is reading with comprehension. thus cutting the time element down considerably fer the teach er who can use the time gained in this way for other grades. Second. More time should be spent on weak subjects and less time given to subjects the stud- ent is ahead on. The two groups then made sev- e1‘:il_ suggestjons t9 the meeting. The meeting then divided into two groups, one for those teach- ers who have grades 1 to 8 in- clusive; the other for those tea- ching two, three or more grades. Jos. Weare, No. 11 Markham, acted as chairman for those with grades 1-8 inclusive in one-room schools. Offer Suggestions Frank Sturgess, Vellore, asked. "How would you suggest control of deviation on the part of a re- tarded child ,who cannot make the grade?” to which the inspec- tor replied. “a child who is re- tarded for more than two years may be sent to a special school financed by the Government and his own school board.” Inspector Hallman said this scheme would apply chiefly to the primary grades 1, 2 and 3 for the present but he feels that the more advanced grades must be "broadened" in intelligence ra- ther than built up too far ahead at too early an age. ther than have the clever child ready for High School before a suitable age.
