Success in Team Teaching Leads to Expansion This year, 300 students had the privilege of having two teachers for the price of one as a result of social science team teaching. This fabulous deal was found in the World Cultures Discovery and U.S. History courses taught by the odd couples Mr. Essex and Mr. Tabing, Mr. Thomas and Mr. MacArthur, and Mr. Rose and Mr. Malmo. Although some may feel that the purpose of team teach- ing is to the benefit of the teacher (ie. making it easier to teach), it actually does more good to the student. This type of class encourages students to be taught by each other, to be self-disciplined, and to have experiences that will help them to be critical in their decision making. Sem- inars, role-playing, mini lectures, and simulations are regular activities that help achieve these goals. Mr. Malmo conducts a seminar.

ICGram. Spell. North High ' s English Departmpnt could very well be called the most on-going department in the school. Headed by Miss Ida Nazon, its ' members are con- tinually on the lookout for new course ideas and teaching techniques. As the result of listening to student sugges- tions in order to satisfy their interests, courses such as Literature of the West , Action and Combat , and Lit- erature and Politics have been created. In the future, the department hopes to develop a resource area where stu- dents can go any period of the day to seek directed help in English. Plans are also being made to enhance the team teaching approach which has been so successful in several other English classes and other departments. Mr. Lehr Mushrush Aurora Col. MS Annual, Cont.
