Changes that teaching has gone through with teachers, students, and facilities N- ince the time of the one room schoolhouse, teach- ing has changed drastically. It has gone from one teacher and a few students, to many teachers and hundreds of students. A wider variety of subjects are of- fered. And there is different material available. Are things still changing? What about in the last 10-30 years? Have teachers changed? What about students? There seem to be mixed feel- ings on this subject. Yes, teaching has changed. Fewer students seem motivated to do well, said Ms. Betty Fen- nell. My answer is no. I find stu- dents are still great, said Mr. Jim Reda. It's harder to teach now be- cause the students have a shorter attention span and less pressure from home than when I was in school, said Mr. Steve Bailey. Different approaches were taken by some teachers to do what they felt was necessary to allow for the changes. t'There's a lack of interest in the kids towards the subject. What I try to do is show how interesting I feel it is and ani- mate it, then they respond, said Ms. Donna Crisci. The students don't feel pride or responsibility towards their work or actions, said Mr. Bob Maynard. Emphasis on subjects has changed.

However, relationships havenlt appeared to change through all the other evolu- tions. I feel teaching will always be a communication and in that sense it's the same, said Mr. Jim Reda. I don't think the relation- ships have changed. There's still respect, said sophomore Chimen Stiles. Q V NO LONGER AROUND, one room schoolhouses have been taken over by modern day buildings. The change has occured because of the growing number of students attending school. j ' , ,f I f' .-'I ' ,. .

Each meeting was approxi- mately two and one-half hours long. They began with a social and nourishment period after which time was taken to prac- tice mental and physical relax- ation. Once the lectures began son Planning On the last session, Mr. Gilli- land asked the participants to design their own lesson, each in support of the theme CELE- BRATIONH. Many ideas and theories, such as the process of exposing people to the mysterious in themselves and then getting out of the way so you don't get run over, were taken from The Aquarian Conspiracy by Marilyn Ferguson. I attended a seminar during the summer that was sponsored by the LA County Office of Education There they taught about New Age Learning said Mr Gilliland The act1v1t1es of the seminars were almed to help teachers with intellectually passive stu dents by exposing the human ity of their teachers Faculty members of the Wal nut School District that did at tend felt they got a lot out of the workshop I feel I have some fruitful and new ideas I would like to implement this year with my classes, said Mrs. Alice OKeeffe. It was a shame more teachers didn't get involved. I was very pleased with the response, interest, and myself, said Mr. Gilliland. I believe it was a successf' Q A ALL PARTICIPATE in the activ- ity to help enhance the lecture. This activity was to show how messages are relayed in the brain. W
