At an earlier meeting. the board approved appointment of 14 master teachers. and nine have already been appointed, The board had ,also approved appointment of 27 associate master teachers. Mr. Bacsal- mast reported 25 of these also have been appointed. These people. he said. would spend 40 percent of their time teaching. The master teachers and as- sociate master teachers. he said, should be directly responsible to the superintendent of plan- ning and development. Their responsibility will range from kindergarten to grade 13. but they will work in specific areas or divisions such as language arts. social sciences. mathemat- lcs and science. cultural and physical development. commer- cial, technology. and resource services (libraries. audio-visual. etc).

A resource centre should be available to assist in curriculum development, providing special services such as a professional library. central library services and an audio-visual centre. To provide the best possible vehicle for students to reach their goals, said Mr. Bacsalmasi. curriculum development should make use of the abilities of all personnel connected with school curriculum. The organization therefore would have to be an integral part of the school. At a special meeting of York County School Board April 7. Stephen Bacsalmasi, superin- tendent of planning and devel- opment. explained to the board that more effective organiza- tion could be achieved in the system if the inspectoral system was eliminated and replaced by master teachers who would 0p- erate within the schools as teacher-consultants and advis- ers to the classroom teacher.

Clerk RICHMOND HILL APRIL 27th GOD SAVE THE QUEEN PROCLAMATION “Rapid advances in technol- ogy. explosive growth in stu- dent population and a dynamic. often disruptive social climate are realities on the educational scene." ’ The modern teacher. Mr. Bacâ€" salmasi continued. is faced'not only with'the challenge of copâ€" ing with all of these. but must accept some basic changes in his own role as teacher, and at the same time ensure that edu- cation will be a meaningful and productive experience for the students. "It is obvious that the teacher is the starting point for any large scale re-evaluation of the educational processes." He predicted that the elimina- tion of the inspectoral system and the introduction of the master-teacher program would result in a saving of several thousand dollars. Real education is ln danger from many things â€" the vast amount of rapidly increasing knowledge, the growing tend- ency of dehumanization of so- cial living. insufficient prepara- tion for the complex task and range of responsibility for teaching, and the fact that teaching is a lonely profession. There is insufficient opportunity for personal development and for relationship with adults dur- ing the teacher's working day. Referring to the taxpayers' resistance to the increasing cost of education. he added, it is necessary to try to increase ef- ficiency in education. \ll“lllll|\lllllll‘l“\l‘lllll\llll\l\\lllll\lll\\lllilllll“\l“lulllllllllllllllllI ers is to help each student "to become" and teachers can do that only by using their own “self” as an instrument.
