Show SEPTEMBER 23, 1986 L, Rryans PEOPLE An interesting look at people in Davis County t Change important to educator If. Dr. Betty Ashbaker had a favorite animal, it would probably be a chameleon, a species known for its ability to change. Change is important to the educator--and- , as the O director for the Davis County School District, she is in a perfect position to affect that change. The mark of a great teacher is adaptability," she says. What worked 20 years ago in a classroom does not necessarily work today. Teachers no longer deal with students who are totally subservient, kids who enter the class, sit down quietly and thirst for any know- ledge the teacher gives them. Students question more today and the role of the parent is quite different. An excellent teacher is one who cares about individual students and then searches out new ways to " The Kiwanis Club of Layton meeting at Kikis Restaurant recently for their regular Saturday breakfast meeting, heard Utah Kiwanis Northern District Lieutenant Governor, Barney Tanner of Salt Lake City speak regarding Kiwanis programs. He showed a film strip entitled Make Miracles Happen, produced by Kiwanis International which presents the theme for the 1986-8Kiwanis year. The theme is Time to Care." The goals and objectives of service to people who are less fortunate were reviewed. Each Kiwanis club is challenged to assess local needs and adopt at least one service project involving service to youth with special needs. Projects in the areas of safety, emotional support for terminally ill children and their families, services for disabled children, and assistance to hospitals for children. Involvement of Kiwanis Club members who take time to care can make miracles happen in the lives of children who need our help and support. FARMINGTON A complaint charging a Layton public relations man with impeding or otherwise in- terfering with Davis Countys Primary Election has been filed in Second District Court. The complaint was filed by Glenn Clary, the losing candidate for Davis County Sheriff, against Bryan Gray and "John Doe One through John Doe Ten. The John Does were not identified as defendants as this time. The charges the defendant, Mr. Gray knowingly, willfully and maliciously conspired with other John Doe defendants to use a fraudulent device or contrivance to impede, prevent or otherwise interfere with the free exercise of the elective franchise of certain voters in Davis County in giving their vote for the candidate Brant L. Johnson while refraining to give their vote to candidate Glenn Clary for office of Davis County Sheriff. The civil suit, filed late Wednesday afternoon, asked for punitive damages to be determined by the 7 35-ye- ar - Complaint filed Kiwanians meet But Dr. Ashbaker is more a than a philosopher. Raised in the small southeastern Idaho town of Thatcher, she left the farm to study at Utah State University where, along with serving as a clinical demonstration teacher for handicapped children, she earned , a Citizens, now is your chance to have your say in the political process.

On Oct. 16 the local candidates will be at the Golden Years Center in Bountiful and the state and federal candidates will be represented, on Oct. 23. With so manv programs and services at stake thafwill affect you as senior citizens this is your Masters degree. More than 25 job offers poured in, but she fulfilled a desire to teach in Davis County, serving as a resource instruc- and an adm. tor, a diagnostician inistrator in the Special Education program. And she continued to strive. She wanted to seek a doctoral degree. I realized that there were some people who frowned on a woman earning a doctorate, she said. One professor at BYU let me know of his negative feelings and he refused to give A grades to young women. But there were others who applauded the decision and, with the support of my husband, I didnt let those negative feelings interfere with my goal. By the 1980s she was already directing some of the then limited classes for Davis teachers. The classes were few and were not even published in a schedule format. Dr. Ashbaker took hold of the program and increased its emphasis, an emphasis which peaked two years ago when Career Ladder monies were budgeted. But financial gain is not the key courses, she says. to The key is to learn and upgrade and improve, she says. Teachers who feel more comfortable with their classes are not only better teachers but also happier teachers. To learn a new technique, then implement it and see it thats a great feeling. Shes convinced that many work-w- - I hy, feelings have come from ''teacher enrollment in such programs as Workshop Way, a system started by a Catholic nun which stresses individual learning along with the concept that its all right to make a mistake.

BETTY ASHBAKER tary teachers and, according to Dr. Ashbaker, was pioneered for Utah teachers in Davis County. Other popular programs include Assertive Discipline, a format in which teachers define common goals, standards and acceptable behavior on a school-wid- e basis; Precision Teaching, a program which measures learning and gives teachers the ability to predict the time it will take for a student to achieve; and Zest for Teaching, an Ashbaker-create- d series in which teachers are stimulated and motivated, often by success stories. Along with these programs, Dr. Ashbaker also coordinates a full schedule of curriculum and enrichment courses, some tied to training of teachers for the new core curriculum. State-mandat- New theories, new strategies, new curriculum... Change. Society changes as well, so education must follow, she says. In my own teacher training, I saw the increasing emphasis and interest in education for intellectually handicapped and behaviorally handicapped students. Those kids used to be ignored. ..When I first taught the handicapped, I met a nine-yeold child in Logan who had never seen his neighbors. In ar fact, the neighbors didnt even know the kid existed. The parents would just lock the kid up in his room. Today, thank goodness, we have programs for such youngsters. Theres a lessening of stigma for students who have learning difficulties. Everytime a national magazine publishes a story on slow learners, we get inundated by telephone calls from people wanting more information. The so are public is more aware-a- nd we. And change will continue. Dr. Ashbaker predicts a future in which computers will free teachers from their current housekeeptasks. ing and record-keepin- g And she even hopes that parents will be able to choose their students own teachers. You get a situation where pa- rents choose the teachers and those teachers then get paid an amount for each child. ..That free market approach will have more impact on education than any other bonus program. We have a lot of good teachers now and we need even more of them. Paying them well will solve much of our problems. ' Such pay incentives would be a major change in education. But, in stantial (financial) damages. Although not specifically mentioned in the complaint, Clary, who is Riverdaie police chief in Weber County, claims that a letter sent to county educators by a group called Davis County Teachers United just a few days before the primary election urging support for his opponent (Johnson) swayed enough votes to cost him (Clary) the election. The complaint alleges that the defendant was retained in some official capacity to consult with and assist in Brant Johnsons election campaign and that he (Gray) conspired with defendants (John Does One through Ten) to make or publish, or cause to be published, a false statement in relation to the two candidates with the intent of tending or affecting the vote in the Primary Election.
