GTEA Ends Conference On
Developing School Program
This year the teachers of the
Third Region of the Georgia Tea-
chers and Education Association
focused their attention on the top-
ic, "Implementing Today's School
Program Through the Utilization of
Knowledge of Human Develop-
ment." The participants were from
the faculty of the School of Edu-
cation of Atlanta University.
Dr. Paul I. Clifford. the moder-
ator of the panel, opened the dis-
cussion by emphasizing the im-
portance of a general concept of
the many facets of human develop-
ment in effective learning situa-
tions. Specifically, he emphasized
the significance of a clear realiza-
tion of the impact of various de-
velopmental tasks with which pu-
pils, students, and people in gen-
eral are concerned.
Following this introduction Dr.
L. E. Boyd provided a penetrating
and practical application of cer-
tain principles of human develop-
ment to the administrative and
supervisory processes. His identi-
fication of principles focused at-
tention upon individual differences.
the continuous nature of growth,
the factor of readiness, the impact
of one's cultural background. and
the prevailing influence of needs.
Dr. R. O. Johnson then address-
ed himself to a challenging appli-
cation of principles of human de-
velopment to curriculum develop-
ment. His discussion began with a
definition of the curriculum which
included all experiences for which
the school assumes the responsibili-
ty of guiding. In the first part of
his elaboration he
carried this
broad and thoughtful concept of
the curriculum through points
which stressed the facts that there
is no such thing as a set curricu-
lum, but a general guide through
which each individual experiences
according to his own capabilities,
competencies and the like.
The last speaker, Dr. Lynette
Saine, applied principles of human
development to communication. In
a forthright and thoughtful man-
ner she took certain principles of
human development and explained
how they have influenced the tea-
ching of communications. Among
the outstanding influence empha-
sized were: 1 more attention to
the natural sequence of language,
added emphasis on listening
3 marked attention to the per-
sonal values of conversations and
general modes of expression and
4)the importance of making teach-
ing of communications help indi-
viduals to live more effectively.
Other consultants were: Prof.
Walter Chivers. Dr. K. R. Huggins,
