AFTER CLASS HOURS a social teacher's job consists of cor- recting tests and recording grades. Social Studies Team Teaching Grows, Includes More Classes Team teaching was a growing experiment in the Social Studies Department. The team teaching approach was first started in 1967 with two Social 12 classes and two world history classes participating. It then spread to in- clude the entire Social 12 Department and was partially used in U. S. history and world history classes. ln Social 12, the teachers conducted large group lec- tures, discussion groups, and assisted students as they did research in the library. They used paper-backs and magazines to help the students analyze the subjects ap- proached and determine a position for a mini-position paper, in which they took a stand on a controversial issue. Team teaching in the U.S. History and World History Departments was directed by Mr. Georges Denzene and lVlr. James Corbett, and by lVlr. Jerald Beckmann and Mr. Denzene, respectively. The Vertical Curriculum Committee, headed by Mr. John Harshbarger, met regularly to update the Social Departments in all grades.

Math Electronic Calculators Give Class Added Depth Math students had the opportunity to use electric cal- culators forthe first time. These calculators gave depth to math classes, providing the student with more time for math study. Two math classes were added to the preceding math program to enlarge it to a total of seven courses. The added classes were Math 10 C and Math 11 B. The 10 C course was an algebra refresher class offered to sopho- mores only. Math 11 B taught modern algebra and trigonometry. The reason for such a broad selection of math courses available was to provide each student with all his math needs. The Math 12 class was for students planningto go to college and major in field requiring an extensive math background. The Math 11 B course was for college- bound students that did not need an extensive back- ground in math for their particular majors. lVlr. Byron Spear, head of the math department, was elected the president of South Eastern Minnesota Coun- cil of Teachers of Mathematics, covering areas from kin- dergarten to college. 16 - Academics re- MATHEMATIC CALCULATORS are utilized by stu- dents to determine quadratic formulas. ll! f 2' 1 J 5 vt - i
