Odessa's Instructional Aids Program The Odessa School's program of audio-visual aids had its beginning during the I945-46 school year when Superintendent Ernest Newland appointed Mr, Gasser to take charge of planning a revised program of instructional aids to meet the needs of both elementary and high school classes. Since that time a central department of instructional aids has been created for the purpose of serving teachers to better use the audio-visual aids to teaching, The room is capable of seating any class in the school system. Storage facilities for filing materials and equipment have been provided. All furniture in the room has been constructed by student staff members working in the school shop. Our Audio-Visual Department is at the present time serving under the supervision of the Department of Secondary Teachers of the National Education Association. A certificate of Merit was received in the fall of the I949-50 school year, and was awarded for commendable advances in the use of instructional materials. In order to remain worthy of this recognition, the Department has introduced demonstration programs to the local parent-teacher organization, the county's school superintendents, and neighboring schools. Mr. Gasser has written several articles on our instructional aids program during the past five years. They are: AN INSTRUCTIONAL AIDS PROGRAM FOR A SMALL SCHOOL SYSTEM-a Thesis for Master of Arts Degree. WE INTRODUCE AN AUDIO-VISUAL PROGRAM-April l949 issue Of Washington Education Association. I A DEMONSTRATION CENTER GOES INTO ACTION-March issue of the Audio- Visual Guide.
