Striving for improvement with mastery of skills Developmental Services is designed for students who are reading or writing at or below their expectancy levels. These services focus on elevating the level of competency with which the students perform specific skills. The instructors determine each student's abilities, disabilities and expectancies, and they then determine which of the skills needed to be taught, the extent to which they must be taught, the level of sophistication on which they should be taught, and the order in which they should be taught.

Books not here to collect dust on shelves Elizabeth Ray Doris Perkins Llbrarlan Assistant Llbrarlan B.J. I M.Ed. At the outset of each year, the librarians explain to all ninth graders the various facets of the library's operation. They accomplish this goal by having English teachers bring freshman classes. During the year, eleventh and twelfth graders complete research paper topics, and these students begin to realize the wealth of material the library possesses. All three ladies may bemoan having to shelve tables of secondary sources, but they also see tangible results exemplified by the students' work. The library also serves as a central location for combined classes viewing films or other audio visual material. And many students take advantage of the numerous magazines and periodicals by arriving during off periods or lunch periods.
