"As early as possible in the school year it is important impor-tant to get into the individual rooms and spend a full period with each teacher and evaluate procedures," commented Park High prin-cipalJack prin-cipalJack Dozier. ' Evaluation involves observing ob-serving the overall learning atmosphere created in the classroom and determining whether or not that atmosphere at-mosphere provides an effective effec-tive learning situation. Several weeks ago Dozier notified the faculty that he. was "ready to be invited" into in-to the classrooms. Prior to visits, he meets with the teacher, sets up a period and date for visitation and discusses what specific teaching objectives will take place during the class period. At this time "situations beyond the teachers' control," con-trol," such as lighting problems or faulty equipment, equip-ment, which might influence juding the competency of instruction, in-struction, are discussed. During teacher obser-' obser-' vation. the high school principal prin-cipal looks to see the students studen-ts are "in control." "This is not to say they should be sitting with their hands folded." said Dozier. "but they should be pointed u I ! v V 1 Dr. Jack Dozier in the right direction."' The student should be able to interact, in-teract, to "show his stuff. ' Also ."; taken into consideration con-sideration during evaluation is the physical appearance of the classroom and whether or hot it is a "warm learning station.' Under observation are the dress and personal characteristics charac-teristics of the teacher, the instructor's rapport with the students and his command of the English language. The administrator looKs for responsive students who are "actively, positively and Eoads Utah Wearing Out Utah's roads are wearing out faster than they can be repaired according to aUtah Department of Transportation Transpor-tation report. The report, en-tilled en-tilled "Good Roads Cost Less," says that because. oi rehabilitate roads, even more roads will deteriorate to an unacceptable level in the future. . , v . UDOT engineers ex- , plained that every time a vehicle drives on a road, a little bit of the road is "used up." The effect of each vehicle is cumulative. Highways are designed to withstand the predicted number of "load applications" ap-plications" over a twenty-year twenty-year life of the road. (UDOT engineers measure load ap- , plication in 18,000 pound equivalent axle weights. It takes the passage of 12,500 passenger cars to equal the , damage of one legally loaded semi-trailer truck. ). As a road approaches the end of its design life, it starts to deteriorate noticeably., The road should be resurfaced at this point. The longer resurfacing resur-facing is delayed,, the greater the thickness of asphalt (and greater the expense) ex-pense) necessary to restore the road to a useful condition, con-dition, jv Many roads Jn Utah have now exceeded their design lives.

As the roads deteriorate, the maintenance main-tenance effort becomes more intensive and expensive. expen-sive. The UDOT report, prepared by Research & Development Engineer Dale E. Peterson, says if pavements are rehabilitated to maintain a good condition or better, much lower annual costs and higher benefits to the highway user would , result. The report estimates it would take $69 million to resurface all sub-standard primary and secondary state highways to bring them up to the good or better condition. (Interstate highways were not included because of the possibility of federal money ( for rehabilitation work.) Another $16 million annually ; would be needed to resurface other roads in the future as they near the end of their -design lives. ' If state highways tare upgraded and maintained at the suggested level, there would be a considerable savings to the highway user. :.A poor pavement surface will require 25 per cent more fuel for vehicles per mile of Srtravetthan goad pavements tlf TTtahVoaflteK&re -proved, ait estimated 11 t(W3 million gallons of motor fuel per . year could be saved. There would also be less -wear and tear on tires and vehicles in general The accelerated rehabilitation schedule would also use less asphalt in the long run than the current level of rehabilitation, and three to five million gallons of asphalt cement per year could be saved. The report noted that existing pavements should be upgraded as expeditiously ex-peditiously as possible due to inflation trends and the in-tests in-tests of energy conservation. The report concluded the $69 million necessary to improve im-prove the system could be recovered in a little over four years through improved benefits. There would be a net savings to the individual motorist per mile of vehicle travel (due to reduced operating costs) even with a fuel tax increase. MURRAY FIRST THRIFT & LOAN CO.

" After the visit. Dozier meets with teachers to discuss the observations. Where there are "concerns," "concer-ns," questions or teachers in need of extra help, the principal prin-cipal will revisit. Although teacher observation obser-vation is not a requirement of the State Board of Education, the principal feels class visitation is "a good administrative practice." "I found some fine teaching." noted Dozier. "I was not pleased with it all but. as a general rule. I was pleased.
