lluu 5393 saw-S Team Teaching provides for a beifer ulilizafion of slaH , sfales Mr. Kennelh Noble head of lhe social sludies deparlmenf. The mefhod has proven successful because il allows fhe leacher lo have a befier chance lo display his individual falenls in a given area. Sixly-five sludenfs are faughf by Mr. John Duncan and Mrs. Homer in ihe school audiforium. One ieacher may lake over lhe class for a day leaching ihe subiecf ihaf he is sirong in, while lhe ofher feacher is giving individual insfruclion for sludenls having lrouble. Block of Time, begun in fhe fall ol 1963, has also mef wilh success. Taughf by Mrs. Richie, sfudenfs have fhe same leacher for Social Sfudies and World Hislory during fheir ninlh and lenfh grades. Members of fhis class generally have a high infelligence, buf low achievemenf record. Because much of hisfory is reading, fhe goal of Block of Time is fo help fhe siudenls read wiih more undersianding. The Social Studies deparimenf will lose o member of ifs stall this year. Mrs. Connie Crossman, who has laugh! al Dondero lor fhirfyefwo years is refiring. An excellenf feacher of American Hisfory and Hisfory of Religion, she will be hard fo replace.

The problems are introduced simply and become more compli- cated each time they are reintroduced. With this method it is possible for a student to be ex- posed to a subject as many as five or six times over a period of three or four years. S.M.S.G. was introduced at Dondero in T962 as a pilot course. A National Science Foundation division, S.M.S.G., proved to be such a success that in the fall of 1964, it was introduced to the entire freshmen class. Block of time, taught by Mr. Chancy Jones and Mr. Walter Diebel, is a pilot course to help under-achievers. The student is taught for two years by the same teacher, and he receives more individual help in problem areas by means of student teachers. It is therefore concievable for a student to finish math, algebra, and geometry during these two years. Fundamental Math is a class new to the math department this year. The class was formed as a refresher course for seniors. The average member of this class has had only a minimum of math. lt is hoped that by taking this course the students will be better prepared for the business world. Ei 1 C' f- U' , H7 w
