The fifth and sixth graders have begun to do some indi- vidual work on to auto-harp, a simple stringed instrument that can easily be operated to produce a pleasing song. As the year progresses we plan to spend much more time on this instru- ment, as it is especially effective as an accompaniment to sing- ing. Although it will take the children some time before they can produce a tune on the auto-harp I feel that the extra work is worth while because people learn more readily by doing than by listening. This instrument will be invaluable in two and three part singing.


When the weather is more pleasant I plan to take the chil- dren outside for a musical game and dancing lesson. These active sessions are most enjoyable and relieve the monotony of indoor singing lessons.


It is evident that the work in the past year in theory, note reading, singing and dancing has been beneficial to a great number of the pupils. They have become increasingly aware of the ever-broadening horizons of music in the world of today. This is most important; because in this modern age of tele-


38


vision, radios, movies, record give-aways, and record players, the man who does not like music and can not understand it is truly unhappy. Music is all around us; we can not escape it no matter how hard we may try!

REPORT OF THE AUDIO-VISUAL AIDS DEPARTMENT EDWARD J. DESROCHES, Director


Education at this moment is profoundly stirred. In a sense a great awakening is taking place. And most significant, the stirring appears to be coming from within. Broad and funda- mental changes are beginning to form in the minds of educa- tors generally. It is almost universally agreed that the next ten years can witness the most striking progress in the whole history of education. A major part of this progress, it is fur- ther agreed, will be in the area of instructional methods and materials.


The problems of education - bulging enrollments, short- ages of classrooms and teachers, rapid and extensive increases in knowledge to be taught, and a world in which that knowl- edge and its intelligent application have suddenly become vital - are forcing upon us a complete re-evaluation of our entire instructional program. This, in turn, is leading to an even greater recognition of the indispensable role played by audio-visual materials in the instructional program.


The National Defense Education Act which will provide matching funds to communities for the purchase of audio- visual materials and equipment is itself dramatic testimony of the kind of recognition the Federal Government is giving to the audio-visual movement. Certain states are now re- quiring teachers to show at least three semester hours of work in audio-visual education before certification is granted. Most schools of education today require training in audio-visual edu- cation before graduation.


Such is the status of audio-visual instruction today, and it is in such a context that our audio-visual program should be viewed.


Change of Location


As part of the over-all plan to increase the educational facilities of the High School - new science room, school li- brary, etc. - the Audio-Visual Aids Department was moved to a newly created room immediately adjoining the area which will eventually serve as our school library. This is a very logical and desirable change. It represents the type of facility organization that is incorporated in most well-planned educa- tional plants. By joining the audio-visual department with the library, the services of both as resource areas of educational


39


materials are greatly facilitated. The teacher's needs for educa- tional materials are completely satisfied in one main location. This usually encourages the teacher to make greater use of both services; and this, in turn, usually results in a more enriched educational program. That should be our aim and the sole purpose for the existence of the Audio-Visual Aids Department.


Teacher Training


Training periods in the operation and use of the 16mm sound projector were conducted in each elementary school during the month of September. The program gave every elementary teacher an opportunity to develop the skills needed for the efficient use of this important tool of education.


As a result, more elementary teachers are now operating their own projectors instead of depending on fellow teachers or the building principal. This is an encouraging development. It should undoubtedly lead to a more extensive use of the in- structional film in our educational program.


Projectionist Squad


Students selected and trained by the director in the use and care of audio-visual equipment and materials make up the Projectionist Squad. These students render an invaluable service to the Department and to the teachers.


Under the supervision of the director, they receive, check, and deliver materials; splice films; prepare films for mailing; help in the cataloging of new materials; operate the PA sys- tem at assemblies and dances; set up various pieces of audio- visual equipment for teachers; and, when necessary, operate the equipment for teachers.


Audio-Visual Uses


The educational film continued to receive the greatest emphasis in the instructional program during 1958. A total of 230 films were used in the following programs: Elementary, High School, Trade School, and Guidance.


Films used in the' elementary schools were selected by grades in the spring when all elementary school teachers met with the director in the High School cafeteria. Organized by grades, they selected their films for the coming school year. Then, as soon as the director had booked all films, a master film schedule, showing all films coming into the building, was prepared and given to each building principal to post on the office bulletin board. Along with the master schedule, each teacher received her own individual schedule of the films which she had selected together with other teachers of the same grade. In this way, each teacher knew well in advance the


40


film she was to use. Knowing this, she could then proceed to prepare her class for the coming film and thus really "use" the film instead of merely showing it.


Another valuable help provided for the teacher was the "Teacher's Guide". Every film used in the program was accompanied by a "Teacher's Guide". The director placed in each elementary school a loose-leaf folder containing a guide for each film coming to the building. Distribution of the ap- propriate guides to teachers was done by the building princi- pal a week before the films were due to arrive at the school. Since each guide introduces the teacher to film content, meth- ods and techniques of use, and follow-up activities, it becomes another real help to the conscientious teacher.


In addition to the film, the other instructional materials which received the most attention during 1958 were the film- strip, lantern slide, record, and tape recording.


New Equipment and Materials


One of the main objectives of the Audio-Visual Aids De- partment was finally achieved in 1958 by the purchase of a new Bell and Howell sound projector.


The placement of this piece of equipment at Eastford Road School marked an important milestone in the audio-visual program. It is the last school to be equipped with a sound projector of its own. Now every school in the system has its own projector. With this important teaching tool right in the building, readily available to teachers every day of the week, more extensive use of the educational film will be greatly facilitated.


A filmstrip cabinet with a storage capacity of 1080 film- strips was also purchased in 1958. A complete plan for storing, checking, and distributing filmstrips came with the cabinet. To take advantage of the plan necessitated a complete re- cataloging of all filmstrips in the Department. This was done because it was felt that the added features of the plan certainly justified the additional work. A new catalog using the format suggested will be completed and distributed to the teachers in the early part of 1959.


Other materials purchased in 1958 included tapes, records, and filmstrips. All were purchased at the request of teachers who had viewed or auditioned the materials.


Community Service


During the year, the services of the Department were ex- tended to many organizations in the community. Equipment and operators (in some cases the director himself) were pro- vided for the following: Junior Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club, Knights of Columbus, Exchange Club, Mothers Club,


41


Association for the Mentally Retarded, Pilsudski Polish-Amer- ican Club, Office of Civil Defense, Boosters Club, Sitzmarkers Ski Club, and the Jacob Edwards Public Library.


Conclusion


I wish to express my appreciation to the School Committee for its friendly advice, wise counsel, and encouragement; to members of the school staff for their loyalty to the profession of which they are members; to the Parent-Teacher Associations for their diligence in promoting better understanding between home and school; and to the town departments, other organ- zations, and people who have been helpful during the past year.


Respectfully submitted, ROBERT L. FOX, Superintendent.
