Special Teachers For Students The head of EMH department is Mr. Thomas, who has taught at King for ten years and who enjoys working with the students. This year the EMH and SLD department consists of Mr. Thomas, Mrs. Vcla-Vcla, and Mr. Bradley, with three new teachers — Mr. Bozo, Mrs. Walter, and Mrs. Barnes. The EMH classes help those students who have specific needs ranging from physical handicaps to special education. The department has elective courses as well as the required curriculum such as English and math. The SLD department helps those students who arc not physically handicapped, but who arc slow in reading and math. The reading teacher for the department is Mrs. Barnes. Mr. Bradley teaches social studies and Mrs. Walter teaches math. With the special attention and help from these teachers, the students can have a better understanding and be prepared for their future. The Remediation Center is a program offered at King to help those students who did not pass the State Assessment Test, but did not score low enough to be placed in the Compensatory Education classes. Every student must pass Parts I and II of this test in order to graduate from high school. The two assistant teachers are Mrs. Jackson, who teaches math, and Mrs. Hicks, who teaches English. These, teachers give students individual help on any part of the test that they might have missed. Studentsare taken out of one of their classes to work with a remediation teacher on a one to one basis. The class hours spent in the remediation center all depend on what the student has missed on the test. Some- times it only lasts one hour, and sometimes it could be as much as twelve class hours. her students each da. a great, hig smile. Remediation 57

Distributive education is a program of instruction in merchandising, marketing, and management which trains people for careers in retailing, wholesaling, and service establishments. It is a partnership between schools and the managers and owners of businesses. Student trainees attend school part-time and re- ceive supervised work experience under actual work- ing conditions. Training establishments are local business firms where the student receives on-the-job training which provides practical application of the trainee's studies. The D.E. teachers diagnose students' individual needs, tailor projects to fit these needs, and also pro- vide work-related learning experiences in the class- room. We have three school-based substitutes who serve King first and foremost: Mrs. Bandy, Mr. Swilley. and Miss Machen. These are the first persons to fill any temporary positions in the absence of regular faculty members. They are here so often that some- times we forget they hold substitute positions. We appreciate their commitment to King. Substitution 59
