This special training is being provided on Thursday evenings at North Ogden Junior High School. The 22 teachers who are enrolled include teachers from home economics, vocational science and education, mathematics. Special training is under the direction of Dr. Jim West, Math-Scienc- Coordinator e for the district. Instruction for the class is being provided by four teaching teams from the districts secondary staff. These eight teachers received extensive training in metric education last fall as part of a ederally funded project involving he states of Wyoming, Montana, idaho and Utah. According to Dr. West the special training in metric involves five concept areas. These areas include volume, length, mass, temperature and area. The approach to metric education used in the Weber District is a hands on approach. This means that students learn to apply metrics by actually estimating size, weight or shape of real objects. Dr. West emphasizes that many adults feel thta we learn metrics by con- verting from the standard or English system to the metric system, but actually this is the poorest way to learn. A much better approach, Dr. West reports, is. to work with metric measuring devices and measure real objects. During the course of the training the 22 teachers involved will develop re'evant training material which can be used back in their own classrooms. At the conclusion of the training, the teachers who have completed the course will receive two hours of graduate credit through Utah State University.
