By OneitaSumsion It's been readin', 'ritin', 'n 'rithmetic too long. And now I believe we're headed in the right direction," declared Mrs. Marilyn Groneman, para-professional para-professional technician for Nebo School District, some five and a half years ago when the district introduced a new Vocational Evaluation System at Springville Junior High. The program proved to be immensely popular with junior high school age students, so much so that the homemaking and shop programs at the junior high have been expanded to include most of the things offered through the system. Since the first of the school year, the equipment equip-ment used for the program has been stored at the junior high and Mrs. Groneman has been taking some "R and R" leave. But when Middle School students moved into their new building, the program found a new home and equipment has been put to use giving seventh graders an opportunity op-portunity to find out just what they might be fitted for vocationally. The program, initially, was the first of its kind in Utah. Nebo District invested in-vested $16,000 in equipment equip-ment alone for the innovative in-novative program. "And it's worth every penny," Mrs. Groneman declared. "It's hard to believe the success of it. I have never seen students so receptive to a program." In the new program students are seated at a carrel -- a small recessed area , designed for individual in-dividual study. Mrs. Groneman briefs each student, or participant, par-ticipant, on use of the projector. A programmed text or f ilmstrip describes tools, potential job environments, en-vironments, and leads the participant step-by-step through the station work task at a pace controlled by the participant himself. him-self. The student places a set of headphones on his ears and turns on an audio and video tape player. While a voice describes the steps to follow in performing certain occupations, oc-cupations, such as cleaning a motor, the student also looks at a video screen which shows detailed pictures of exactly what to do. A total of 15 carrels are set up to contain a "hands-on" approach to vocation evaluation of curriculum not ordinarily taught in local schools at seventh grade level.

Residents of Utah Valley and BYU students who are interested are invited to the meeting. The meeting will be held in Room 6225, BYU Library from 8 to 9 p.m. on Wednesday, February 21. Doris has spent considerable con-siderable time doing research by correspondence correspon-dence and extended visits to England and is prepared to discuss some of the common problems in English research and how to solve them.

Most students approach the projects, as they do many new undertakings, with a bit of apprehension. ap-prehension. But Mrs. Groneman runs graciously from carrel to carrel-reasuring and praising. The program is set up to handle 12 different students, chosen in alphabetical order, daily. This leaves three of the 15 carrels open so students may move on when they finish a project. They generally are able to complete at least two projects in a day. The experience lets them know what type of vocation they might be fitted for, or interested in. "They know in a hurry, too. Believe me," Mrs. Groneman laughed. The ultimate goal, of course, would be to let each student have a chance at every single occupation, but time simply does not permit. Hopefully, though. Mrs. Groneman said, every seventh grader will be able to try several different dif-ferent projects before the school year is over.
