one must spend an entire day in the individual class rooms for first impres sions are deceiving the children no longer sit in sedate rows while the teacher instructs from the front or rear of the room they now work in sets often helping each other as one viewer put it it may seem noisy but its a busy kind of noise the program allows each child to work at his own speed through the medium of learning centres the centres are so located about the room to allow pupils to work independ ently it also permits the teacher to move from group to group guiding children through different phases pf instruction the centres also contain such aids as filmstrip projec tors typewriters tape re corders and record players much optimism permission to proceed with the new program was received from the stouff ville school board follow ing a meeting with mrs byer the system also has the approval of principals lome boadway and keith sutherland and all are now viewing the program with optimism at a

to each child and prompts pupils to think for themselves mrs byer be lieves that individual diff erences exist in the innate ability of each boy and girl and teaching must be per sonalized and geared to the childs individual needs previous experiences and level of maturation if the teaching is successful learning will be a vital exciting experience she said enjoy their work its not often that a boy or even a girl enjoys his school work to such an ex tent that he dislikes hear ing the ring of the bell at four oclock for 150 pupils in stouffviiles primary grades this is a fact dis cipline problems are also almost nonexistent mrs byer is sold on the program and her enthus iasm for the scheme is at tracting the attention of other trustees and teachers in other hools the childrens progress is the proof of success she says and 150 stouffville stu dents would want it no learn by doing is the new practice employed in grade 1 classes at stouffville public schools terms of liquid
