New Programs Point to Individual Three pilot programs are new in fresh- man English this year. A special course, IS, experiments with grouping students with special interest, while IH consists of students with high ability. Team teaching, with Miss Toni Couretas and Mr. Robert Graham working together, strives to use time and materials to com- pensate for the varying abilities of students in a classroom. Another technique is being used with underachievers. Mr. Gary Hahn heads the Block of Time course, in which he teaches English and Social Studies. SRA reading materials permit each student to learn reading skills at his own level and are being used in team IS and Block of Time courses. Pilot courses in twelfth grade allow seniors to explore their interest in the Novel and English Literature and to di- versify their skills in Advance Speech and Drama. If these courses turn out to be successful they will be added to the present curriculum. Sara Jane M cM ath, advanced composition stu- dent, listens intently while Miss Boltz reads a selection of a professional writer. Below, team teachers, Mr. Graham and Miss Couretas, teach one of their combined English I classes. dia
