Teachers Attempt Improvements During 1948-49, the Oakwood faculty members have continued their efforts to improve the school’s instructional program. The staff remained on duty after the close of school last spring and were back on the job a few days before school opened, planning and integrating the year’s program. During the year this proposed schedule was implemented by individual and group effort to improve classroom techniques and materials. The faculty cooperated with the statewide curriculum revision program in which this school is recognized as a developmental center. A large number of teachers have increased their value to the school by taking graduate work, and by keeping abreast of developments within their own fields through attendance at numerous conferences and workshops.
