Progress Reported in JH 'Talent Search Program 1 BELLPORT - At a special meeting of the Board of Education of Central School District 4 (Bell- port-B rook haven-East Patch- ogue) last Monday evening, a progress report on the \Talent Search Program \ of the junior high school was given by Princi- pal Edward McHugh , and partici - pating teachers. Mr. McHugh explained that the prime objective of the program is one of developing positive stu- dent and parental attitudes toward tie school through motivation of the student and the creation cf a strong self-image rjy the developm ent of confidence through successful achievement It was observed that the pro- gram was initiated In the Spring with the selection of 23 seventh graders according to teacher recommendation , scholastic rec- ord , and a checklist of addition- al factors. Raymond Kalil, co-chairman of the program noted that this pro- gram is a pioneer pilot because there ls no available research in this field. He said , \The les- son plans of the teachers Involv- ed may very well become the text- books of tomorrow. \ The other teachers actively participating ln this progra m , Robert Strong, Arnold Rasso , James Beedy , and Frank Gil , agreed that there ls little or no material available to use with these children. The teacher must , therefore , create daily lessons and projects to increase a short attention span and to build a greater power of retention. It was pointed out that a minimum of three times as much planning is necessary for one of these class- es than for any other. According to Mr. Kalll , the Important finding, after a four month trial period, is that these children have changed. \They are no longer discipline prob- lems: they do have feelings of accomplishment; and they now seem to have a new and exciting attitude toward school , \ he said. It was further noted by the teachers , that a vital part of the group ' s success has resulted from the teachers ' acting as personal guidance advisors In trying to help the students to solve his problems. I. W. Bianchi , vice president of the board , said. \The program will continue throughout this year and will again be evaluated in the Spring, \ James Beedy, of the high school guidance department , reported to the board on the newly Instituted program of providing data sheets on students with special needs to all teachers ar. the beginning of the school year. Mr. Beedy explained , \This Is not a method of identifying problem students; rather it is a means to help the teacher work more effective- ly with the student immediately, not after the teacher has had to discover the problem himself. \ He continued , \Data sheets were filled out for only those eighth , ninth and tenth grade students with social , emotional, and educational problems. Such information . as test results, grades , general achievement , be- havior ln and out of the class- room , environmental factors and summaries of previous teachers ' comments were included. Questionnaires to teachers in- dicated the usefullness and val- idity of the individual data sheet; further the teachers request- ed additional information should this service be continued. Dr. Daniel Koshland, president of the board , explained that thi s was one of several innovations to the school program , on a trial basis , and that the effectiveness of the program would determine its continuance. The human relations commit- tee of the League of Wom en Voters presented to the board a study of the pre-kindergarten programs in various school sys- tems in the U.S. Representatives of The committee were; Mrs. Nancy Man 4 , chairman; and Mrs. Bonlta Sutln and Mrs. Lewis Schiffer, committee members. Mrs, Marr emphasized to the board thatthe reportwaa present- ed solely for information and that the league , wes proposing no recommendations. The film , \The City; A Chance at the Be- ginning, which depicted the N. Y.C. pre-school program , was shown. It was pointed out during dis- cussion that there ls no effective means of Instant evaluation of any of the pre-Kindergarten pro- grams studied. Mrs. Marr added , \Most communities, including N.Y . S ., .feel that the evaluation of the program will be possible only in terms of pupil success as he moves through the elemen- tary grades \ . Due to the thoroughness and length of the report , the board requested time to study it and asked that the committee return at a later date for further dis- cussion. , Dr. Erwln Dlngman , district principal , gave a brief progress report on recruitment for an instruction*] coordinator. He said , \A total of 76 applications have been received for this po- sition; of these , 16 were select- ed for interview on the basis of experience on the elementary and secondary level , adequate col- lege course preparation , and gen- eral background and recommen- dations. As a result of the in- terviews , the number of appli- cants have bees narrowed to four. All are of outstanding cali- ber and the district would indeed - be fortunate to secure the serv- ices of one of them. \ The board moved to arrange for interviews with these candidates. Among the other items of busi- ness were the approval of the schedule of bills and the ac- ceptance of the minutes of De- cember 7 and 14. p^^ — — I Serving Long island...
