CURRICULUM INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES The Director of Instructional Services plans with the staff in the continued development of the instructional program in the Shorewood schools. He assists teachers in the selection of instructional materials, holds conferences on teaching problems and encourages them in the further improvement of the educational pro- gram. PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES In the process of growing up everyone is confronted with difficult situations. Most of these can be worked out with one's parents, teachers, or coun- selors, but sometimes there is a need for psychological help. Our school psychologist, Dr. Dunlap, is always available to aid students study such dif- Hculties for a more effective understanding and solution. She may be contacted direct- ly or through any staff mem- ber. SPEECH RE-EDUCATION In order to fill the need of those with speech problems the speech therapist, Mrs. Hall, conducts special classes. These classes have a two-fold purposeg to aid in developing the best speech of which each youth is capable and to re-educate and retrain those with faulty speech habits. In order to attain the second goal it is often necessary to work closely with the health department and the psychologist. 25
