VARYING Individualized Instruction The Individualized Instruction Program was designed for students who wished to receive additional assistance in various areas of learning, such as reading, spelling, speech, and personality behavior. Both academically gifted students and average students were welcomed. The student started with pre-testing, and from that point, worked at his own pace. This year letter grades were based on both attendance and achievement of the individual, as in any other class at RHS. One credit was given per trimester to those who pass satisfactorily on a point-scale basis. New concepts were taught through the use of tapes and games. There was a relaxed atmosphere promoted by the instructors, yet each student was expected to work hard and earn his grade. It is hoped that in the future more students will take advantage of this opportunity to improve skills in any area that needs improvement. ft Varying: Individualized Ins»ruction 23

Homebase In its second year of existence, RHS's homebase proved itself to be successful once again. It's been one of the best systems with which to communicate recent news to the student body at RHS. More has been accomplished in this ten-minute class than any other system tested before. The students were informed about upcoming dances, sport's scores, extra- curricular activities, and the lunch menu. This year attendance was taken more carefully to keep track of the large number of students in the school. One distinct and obvious advantage of having homebase every day of the students' three years at RHS was that it improves relations between teachers and individuals, and it's comforting to see familiar faces, too. Many students felt it was a learning experience in which to get to know other people. Others thought it was a good way to get involved in what's happened behind the scenes at RHS. The homebase system seems to have satisfied the needs of both the school and the students. And it has provided a short break in which students can become informed and acquainted with events taking place in their school. 1. Mr. Sheehan reads the daily bulletin to his homebase. 2. A typical homebase engages in conversation. 3. A junior homebase shares their room with science lab equipment. A. Mr. Olive, Debbie Smith, and Carla Halbur wait to take their turns at the microphone as students anxiously anticipate what's for lunch. 5. Mrs. Orr works with a student on an individual basis. 6. Mr. Raub corrects a student's assignment. 7. Mrs. Gustafson encourages students' efforts. 8. A student works through a problem with the aid of Mrs. Snow. 22 Varying: Homebase
