Where teachers become students PE T workshops PET, Program for Effective Teaching, is a program designed to revive and improve the quality of teaching skills used in public school districts. Outlined over a six week training course, PET gives teachers the opportunity to display their skills before a new classroom - PET instructors. Here, teachers are critiqued on their style and effectiveness. After various sessions are completed, and teachers return to their normal classrooms, they are observed by a PET administrator. Some teachers recall that this situation is a little uncomfortable. Math teacher, Alice Gad- berry, said, When an administra- tor comes to observe us Cteachersl, we get a little nervous just like students at test time. We want to do our very best. PET is a requirement for all trators. The program involves the higher officials so that they can become closer to students and more involved in the daily schedule. And some officials really find the program beneficial. Principal james Smith, who was one of the first to enroll in PET, said, I think PET is an excellent program. It has brought me closer to our students, and our teachers have been very enthu- siastic about it. But, most important in the situation of PET is its effective- ness. New ideas and prospectives have arisen, and it is the teachers' duty to use them. I think PET ideas are very important to the educational system, said Alice Gadberry. Some of the techniques we learn from PET are in effect and have been very effective thus far. - By Denise R.
