REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the School Committee:
For several years the Wayland schools have been expanding so rapidly that a great deal of effort has been given to providing classrooms and teachers to accommodate the swelling enrollments. During this same period the faculty has also been laboring to upgrade the quality of the educational program.
Since quality can so often be forgotten or overlooked in rapidly expanding schools, it seems to the Superintendent of Schools that a look at the educational philosophy undergirding the development of the edu- cational program is in order.
The year 1959 was a most eventful one for Wayland's schools. The most spectacular event was the start on the construction of the new high school. However, the continuing development of curricula and the refinement of the teaching processes in the elementary, junior high and senior high schools are of more educational significance than the con- struction of a new school building.
For several years the Wayland faculty has been engaged in an important educational program. Emphasis has been placed on designing student programs geared to the needs of each boy and girl, from grade one through grade twelve. A testing program designed to diagnose student needs has been utilized as one approach to placing boys and girls in challenging classroom situations to stimulate each student to become curious and investigative, to learn to work independently, to seek out knowledge and learn how to apply that knowledge in an intelli- gent manner.
Much has been written about the structure of Wayland schools and the teaching methods. The most important issue is not the educational structure and the teaching methods, but the goals, the purposes under- lying the educational structure.
Over a period of several years Wayland schools have been taking a basic approach to the learning processes, defining the purposes first and then attempting to find the best means of achieving those purposes.
In Wayland the primary purpose of education is the development of intellectual powers on the part of every boy and girl. Each student needs to develop an inquiring mind, as inquiry is an essential step in the process of developing the student's intellectual powers. The aim of the school is for each student to engage in intellectual inquiry as independently as is possible at that moment in his intellectual develop- ment. Each student is encouraged to move at whatever pace he is capable. Toward this end the individualization of student programs has been pressed by the teachers with boys and girls. The realization that education must take place outside the classroom as well as within is important for every student. Therefore, the importance of effective
198
independent study on the part of the student cannot be stressed too forcibly.
In a Democracy all citizens are expected to make individual deci- sions. The school must, therefore, help to prepare students to be qualified to make intelligent decisions.
The importance of the individual in our democratic society was pointed out vividly by a leading Soviet educator when he told a group of American educators recently, "We believe in a planned society, you in individual initiative. Let time tell."
The Wayland educational program places emphasis on providing each individual student with the kind of education needed to permit each individual to reach the highest level of achievement in the basic skills of education the student is capable of obtaining. These basic skills are thought of as being reading, writing, arithmetic, speaking, listening and viewing. Each boy and girl must become proficient in the basic skills if he or she is to move successfully into a study of the bodies of knowledge, which are basic to becoming an educated person.
The bodies of knowledge to which the Wayland schools need to and do place top priority may be identified as Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Languages, Literature, History and Fine Arts. The Wayland program falls down in providing a sufficiently strong educational program in the Fine Arts. Steps are being taken to redefine and build a solid program in the Fine Arts in the immediate years ahead. The program in Languages is also being given special attention and an expansion in the area of modern Foreign Languages is in progress. The opening of a language laboratory and offering French as an elective in grade seven is illustrative of the attention being given to improving the language program. It is the intention of the school to offer modern foreign languages over a six year period at least and make it possible for a student to become truly proficient in a modern foreign language.
The importance of vocational education is not to be overlooked. There is, however, the belief that the student must first be well grounded in the basic skills and have a substantial foundation in the basic bodies of knowledge prior to giving serious attention to a thorough program designed for vocational pursuits.
Wayland's school is, therefore, purposefully oriented toward the pursuit of knowledge and is not vocationally oriented. Those boys and girls who are in need of strongly oriented vocational programs are given the opportunity of attending a vocational school in Newton, Framingham or Waltham where schools especially designed for voca- tional training are available. During the past year there has been a definite decline in the number of students attending vocational schools. This decline has come as the Wayland High School has been better able to design better individualized programs for students.
The percentage of Wayland High School graduates entering insti- tutions for education beyond the high school has passed the 70% point and may well become 85% and more within three to four years.
Among the important developments during the past two years has been the use of many instructional materials to supplement the text- book which a few years ago was the student's primary source of materials. Audio visual materials have also begun to play an important part in advancing the instructional program.
199
The use of these various instructional materials along with new teaching methods has made it possible to proceed through the grades at a rate determined by the readiness of a student to move from one step or stage to the next. The student may and often does proceed at different rates of achievement in various subject areas.
The Wayland schools are at this time committed to an educational doctrine which places the emphasis on the cultivation of the mind. The structure of the school, the design of the curricula, the use of teaching materials, and human resources - that most important person, the teacher, is committed to providing each boy and girl the best individual educational program possible under existing conditions.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD J. ANDERSON, Superintendent.
