Show The Payson Chronicle, December 2, 1998, Page 14 PARENT CONCERN: What is Outcome Based Education? Several years ago John Champlin set up a school in New York. The child in this school was not automatically passed from class to class without at least a C grade. If a child did not learn the concept, he or she did not go to the next concept or grade. There were no failing grades. Bill Spady worked out a process called an Outcome Based Educational Network based on Champlin s concept. Spady s idea was a process used to plan and develop leadership and how to incorporate that leadership into teaching children, discipline, school climate, etc. The idea was to try to find the best resources for the best practice of leadership, staff development, and other teacher oriented needs. About 1985, Utah became involved in the network. The concept was not tried in all schools and has not been used at all, according to the State Department of Education, for at least five to ten years. In fact, the concept has mostly died out nationwide. About 15 years ago, one of the northern districts in the state had a workable concept of the idea as it affected teaching methods. In that district, at least one of the schools used the process in some of their classes. Students were placed in groups of three to five. Students in these groups were of varying abilities. Peer pressure was used to encourage each student to learn. The concept of using peer tutors was implemented. In these particular classes, each member of the group received the same grade in tests, etc. as the least successful student in the group. In this particular area, that concept worked. Each student excelled. When the concept was used in Nebo District, in about 1985, teachers were encouraged to write out their goals for the year, or portion thereof, and communicate those goals to the students and their parents. These goals were outcomes expected at the end of a unit, section, or year. The objective was to keep parents informed on how their particular student was doing and how they could assist the student. This concept was only used for two or three years. Uniform grading was not used. Now, the State of Utah requires mastery of the core concepts in any given curriculum or subject. Each child is expected to excel on his own level within the school setting and classes are offered on several levels to accommodate the varying abilities of the students. This concept meets the State requirements in each area of the core curriculum. Teachers receive a core curriculum for their teaching assignments. The method of teaching subject matter is left to the teacher as long as the teacher does not endanger the student physically, mentally, or emotionally, and keeps in mind and honors the religious, social, and moral standards held by the parents and the community at large. All teachers in the schools, churches, or other places of learning work with a goal or outcome to work toward with the students. Without a goal, nothing is accomplished. Grades are an individual matter in all District schools. Each child receives a grade which reflects his learning capacity and his performance in the classroom, and the level of understanding of the material he (or she) exhibits. In short. Outcome Based Education is an outdated, unused concept over most of the United States, and especially in Utah schools.
