Introduction The following information on the status of the Lexington Public Schools for Respectfully submitted, 1965 is respectfully submitted as my second annual report ALFRED L VIANO, Chairman ELIZABETH H CLARKE,Secretary One of our primary goals in 1965 was to create and refine a number of agencies and activities to improve teaching behavior and the quality of instruc- ROBERT H FARWELL tional materials and programs AUSTIN W FISHER, JR CHARLOTTE LICHTERMAN There is a distinction between what I call the form of education and the School Committee substance of it In simplest terms I would classify teachers, pupils, materials and programs as substance, and the arrangement of these into organizational patterns as form I would also consider that sincere efforts to deal with and improve the substance of education would produce richer opportunities for children than efforts to change the shape of the enterprise With this premise in mind, many of our efforts this year have been devoted to improving t',e substance of education Our recruitment program was again expanded to reach into almost every state in the country to attract and pursue top teaching talent Although we must accept the quality of our students as they come to us, we can and must continue to improve the quality of teachers selected for Lexington An aggres- sive and thorough recruitment and selection program is vital if we are to achieve this objective A careful selection process may permit occasional errors in pre- dictive judgments, but it should never permit errors of omission We shall con- tinue to do everything possible to make certain that every newly-elected teacher is thoroughly screened and evaluated before that teacher is placed in a class- room with children To provide teachers with opportunities for personal and professional growth we have created two agencies—a Screening Committee for Research and Devel- opment, and a Professional Library, and have refined a third, the Continuing Curriculum Committee Screening Committee for Research and Development If one assumes that a teacher who is a consumer, applier, and innovator of research is more effective than one who is not, then efforts to help teachers assume a research posture in their classroom teaching should result in more effective teaching The Screening Committee for Research and Development, chaired by Dr William E Sim, has been assigned this responsibility We do not expect our teachers to make major breakthroughs in basic edu- cational research, but to use the findings of research in planning teaching SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 251 252 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT strategies and to employ research techniques in their classroom teaching Good With this in mind, I have expanded the responsibilities of the continuing

of the data processing center located in the high munity who offer their services to teachers and students due to their specialized school has been a very productive one The four basic pieces of equipment—a training Questionnaires were prepared for teachers to indicate the type of service key punch, sorter, reproducer, and simple accounting machine—have been in and subject areas in which they would appreciate assistance Lexington resi- daily use, and demands are already beginnirg to tax their capabilities dents have been most generous to share their talents with the schools in both formal and informal presentations and work with individual students in highly Some of the present activities at the center are specialized areas 1 Student scheduling During the summer the scheduling of 2200 high school students was done with the help of a large computer The result was a workable schedule for 99% of the students The time saved through use of the computer allowed more time for consideration of many individual scheduling problems This gave many students a schedule meeting all of their desires and needs that might not have been possible were the computer not used The extra time also permitted the adjusting of many schedules in an effort to keep students in their own units for more classes and thus reduce the time spent passing out- doors between classes 2 Attendance records All operations concerning the maintenance of at- tendance records are being handled by the Data Processing Center This includes the production of daily absence lists, monthly summaries, and year-to-date cumu- lative totals for each student 3 School census The town-wide school census was processed by the Data Processing Center This high speed processing facilitated exact answers to many questions which could only be estimated in previous years School districts were relocated and the effect on school enrollment analyzed without ever moving a student The effect on the school population of families moving into and out of Lexington is being systematically observed Answers to these and other ques- tions will prove very helpful in many phases of future planning 4 Grade reporting The Data Processing Center will soon undertake the task of producing report cards for the high school This will not only result in a neater, more accurate card, but will provide the guidance department and main office with an immediate copy of each student's card This added inform- ation will assist the guidance counselors in providing even better services for the students 5 Surveys and lists A very valuable and often under-estimated capability of the Data Processing Center is its ability to make various lists and complete many surveys with ease As departments, teachers, and other administrative personnel have become acquainted with this use, the number of requests for many minor but very useful tasks has risen exponentially Lists of students with sight handicaps, who ride bus 28, who are excused from physical education, who are band members, who take a particular course, who have had perfect attendance, etc can all be made with ease When used properly, these lists and surveys will help provide better services for all students 278 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 277 THE LEXINGTON READING PROGRAM Some planned activities of the center are 1 Permanent records Since the Data Processing center can produce report The development of good reading habits is a life-long pursuit During the part of that time youngsters attend the 'Lexington Public Schools, they are in- cards, it can also produce a permanent record card for each student This will strutted in a variety of reading skills designed to develop confidence and in- make a more accurate record and save many days of hand transcription Hence, colleges will receive mid term grades and final marks not only sooner, but they dependence in reading These skills are presented and developed by classroom will be presented in a more meaningful way teachers of reading in the elementary schools and further refined and extended by teachers of literature and 'English in the secondary schools 2 Library records Groundwork has already been started for a master file The skills and arts of communication—reading, listening, speaking, and of library books to be maintained by the Data Processing Center This could writing—are highly complex This fact necessitates various emphases in these provide both teachers and students with bibliographies of specific areas Such disciplines at several stages of reading development in a child's life a file would also recuc, multiple orders of texts that are not needed, and should indicate the books for which the demand far exceeds the supply To be a proficient reader, it is necessary for today's youngster to be able to do over a hundred different tasks These tasks are generally grouped under 3 Expanded services Perhaps the biggest undertaking for the future is major categories called skills Some of these are visual skills, auditory skills, to expand the services of the Data Processing Center to include more than lust skills of phonetic and structural analysis of words, comprehension skulls, evalua- the high school This would be started by assisting the Junior High Schools in student schedules Steps toward this have already been initiated The next log- required in

schools does not lend itself to data processing techniques, but the problem of While theeneral g pattern of learning to read is known, no two pupils attendance records is systemwide Although it is not

become greater The Lexington Public Schools strive to meet each stu- dent s reading needs at each grade a much more rapid rate than was originally anticipated The total effect of these services cannot but help to provide a more valuable educational experience for all the children of Lexington In addition to the methods and materials regularly used by classroom teach- ers, the Lexincton Public Schools employ personnel specially educated in the techniques of teaching reading to aid in providing for pupil differences and needs Five of these people work in the elementary schools, two in the junior high schools, and one in the high school At each school level the reading pro- gram differs in sophistication of skills and program requirements The Elementary Program Each pupil attending elementary school spends a large portion of his school day in study of the language arts Within the classroom schedule a specific amount of time is allotted for the teaching of reading The first concern is to determine the correct instructional level of every child Continual assessment of pupil progress, strengths, and weaknesses must be an integral part of a successful reading program Formal or informal tests are recommended and their correct use demonstrated by the reading consultant SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 279 280 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT Groupings are made by the teacher on the basis of these tests Usually Therefore, no specific time is provided in the classroom schedule for the teach- the reading consultant confirms this grouping for instruction In addition, the ing of reading alone reading consultant is frequently called upon to administer reading analyses to individuals Reports of these are made to the teachers, principals, and parents Reading records from elementary schools, tests, interviews with students and parents provide the basis for pupil selection and program planning by a Students are grouped according to common requirements to assure that each full time reading specialist in each of the junior high schools child succeeds and that his individual differences be provided for more effi- ciently Each pupil is encouraged to progress as quickly as he can master the The reading program in the junior high is fourfold (1) a program for young- skills, using materials suited to his ability Grouping is flexible so that a child ors with severe reading deficiencies (2) a program for students reading at may move from one group to another as his performance and needs dictate grade level, but who are capable of reading well beyond grade level, (3) a pro- gram for poor spellers, and (4) a program to increase reading speed The elementary reading consultant makes many classroom visits, primarily to study the problems of slow-learning groups through teaching them in the class- In the first two programs, classes generally number ten to eighteen and room Help is provided with the organization of, and planning for the simultan- meet daily The second two programs may have larger enrollments and meet eous instruction of several groups within the classroom Reading materials and two or three times a week These latter are elective courses practices are demonstrated

high schools is usually able to pronounce words and read sentences fluently He has increased his speed of reading Under- standing the ideas and concepts expressed in subject content receives increas- ing attention Reading skills are developed concurrently with subject matter SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 281 282 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT A LOOK TO THE FUTURE In closing, for the cooperation, encouragement and helpful suggestions given The experience of two years as superintendent in Lexington has provided by the school committee, town officials, parents and other citizens of Lexington I am grateful It is a privilege to live and to work in this fine community as me with additional understandings and insights on the needs of our schools superintendent of your public schools If we are to improve the quality of our programs, we must continually search to identify and solve the problems and needs which children place before us Respectfully submitted, Last summer I appointed a committee to study the status of so-called un- RUDOLPH J FOBERT, derachievers and slow-achievers in Lexington and to suggest more effective methods for working with these students Although these children represent a Superintendent of Schools small percentage of our total school population, we nevertheless have a respon- sibility to make certain that we are doing everything possible to provide them with an appropriate educational program The final report of the committee should provide the basis for future action to meet the needs of this group of children Although previous Annual Reports, dating from 1930, underscore the value and need for establishing a kindergarten program in Lexington, we still find ourselves without this vital program in 1965 In an earlier section of this report I discussed the possibility of establishing kindergartens in September, 1967 Recommendations for this program by previous superintendents of schools and school committees were always conditional—"if pupil spaces were available, then " For the first time it appears that spaces will be available and I urge the community to support this program We have waited too long to provide this vital educational experience for all Lexington children Federal funds for education will provide educationally and economically disadvantaged communities with opportunities to expand and enrich their ed- ucational programs Our democratic society cannot achieve its goals unless children from these communities are offered adequate and appropriate programs Most of the efforts for these children will be directed toward eliminating or minimizing the handicaps which prevent their educational development It is equally important that we in Lexington, although not faced with the same types of problems as disadvantaged communities, use available Federal funds to sup- port and enrich programs which will help us to achieve our objective of the fullest possible development of each child In Appreciation The strength of any enterprise is only as great as the quality of the people who are engaged in it I am constantly aware of the dedication of our profes- sional staff members Hours in the classroom with boys and girls are supple- mented by long hours in search of ways to make teaching and learning more ef- fective with these boys and girls Our teachers are educators in the finest sense of that term, and deserves our warmest thanks To my fellow administrators in the central office and to the principals in each building I offer sincere appreciation for their support and assistance SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 283
