Sessions Cover New Teaching Methods As students became familiar to the half-day ses- sion on Wednesdays, the staff of Red Bank Regional High School received In-Service instruc- tion in preparation for moving to the new school. In-Service sessions were conducted by some visit- ing officials from Brookdale Community College. The experience from Brookdale should aid the staff at Red Bank in the near future. The sessions covered areas such as grading, scheduling, open classrooms, the systems approach to teaching, concepts of individualized instructions and team teaching. After meeting with the Brookdale advisor, the staff conducted their own sessions to iron out problems. It was a learn- ing exercise that allowed the staff to foresee prob- lems and situations they will soon face. Teachers enjoy one of their half-day In-Service sessions. The Faculty engages in a discussion concerning the future at Red Bank. 21 Ms. Leverette and Mr. McCall prepare questions for visiting Brookdale advisors.

Pilot Experiments With ILP's A physical change on the third floor of the old building hailed the arrival of what was known as the Pilot Program this past year. Because the new school was built with the open space concept, Red Bank Regional was given a Title III grant to explore and try out individualized learning, team teaching, open space areas, and student responsi- bility. The program involved half the freshman class which was randomly selected. With a staff of six teachers and one guidance counselor, the program began with 75 students in the morning and 75 more in the afternoon. Each session was instructed in Math, Science, and the Humanities, which was both English and History combined. Under the direction of Mr. Robert McCall and Mr. Robert Noguera, the program had much suc- cess but some shortcomings. Both men believed however that the program served a meaningful purpose for the entry into our new school. Mr. Layton works along with students. 20
