The Barrie Examiner Thursday February 17 1977 Female teachers mistake strength for weaknesses Men women are too busy for socializin SINGAPORE AP Mar its books ranging in age from riage bureaus say business is 18to70 Others are very choosy One men before she found her Mr client had to be introduced to 30 Right EDMONTON CP Heleen McLeod assistant superinten dent of pupil services for the Edmonton public school board disagrees with the opinion that school administrator has to be highly authoritative with people preferably over 55 and male Ms McLeod 35 doubts that even with encouragement many more women will seek out administrative jobs Some of the reasons are quite subtle The women tend to think this is going to be their whole life Many young female teachers mistake their strengths for weaknesses and think that because theyre pri marily interested in kids and parents and the community that theyre less qualified for top administrative role But that interest is what its all about Ms McLeod said many women forgo promotion for family reasons For good or bad if youre going to raise family there has to be at least as much com mitment for that as for your job Many women think its un reasonable to think they could do job like this well and still raise children WORKED AS CONSULTANT She started as counsellor teacher in 1961 after leaving university and combined work with university masters and doctoral studies summer re search project in Greenland and consulting duties with several city agencies In 1972 she applied for job as acting director of coun selling services and to her sur prise got the job year ago she became assistant superin tendent Now she said feel people are watching me partly as my self and partly as woman feel great sense of re sponsibility to do well for other women Ms McLeod said that after 15 years of work in schools she has becomean optimist Im optimistic enough to be lieve that our schools provide diversified experience to meet the needs of almost every child Theres greater emphasis on individual education to take care of the needs of special youngsters growing tendency to look at the youngsters strengths and build on these AWARENESS GROWING She said there is growing public realization that if child cant do well in school it doesnt necessarily count him out for life All youngsters cannot achieve the same in each area People are seeing greater need for children to stay in school longer to get special training People were more willing to ask for extra help or special treatment for child who was unable to survive in programs geared for average youngsters Students and parents are more open about the childs special needs talents weak nesses There arent as many labels as before Particularly heartening was the move to integrate children with special problems with nor mal youngsters TEACHERS VITAL At one time she said parents and society used to lock away youngsters who were retarded but today it is possible for many retarded children to go to school and with special train ing eventually become em ployed The greatest strength of the school system she said is the good teachers Theres real difference be tween the bright and the me diocre teacher and its not something thats dependent on their training or education great teacher can excite the students get them excited about learning unlock their minds Ms McLeod said she doesnt know whether she will seek higher position in Edmonton or in another school district lot depends on what hap pens with my private life she said SUNNlliALIC ART CLASSES Kathy Wismer proudly
