yond grade four. there may be a
spread Of six years or more in
any one grade"
To recognize these differences,
nc adds. a school must have a
coed record system, commVnica-
ton between staff members, and
comprehensive testing, guidance
and counseling programs.
I-ehker says the ideal classroom
teacher should have-four qualities:
A thorough knowledge of stu
dents; flexibility in operating
within the teaching schedule; the
wisdom to encourage individual
work; and sufficient classroom
control to allow freedom for in
dependent study.
Lehker points out that no one
system of program planning for
individual differences will be ef-
feetive for all schools. But ad-
iusiments should not be rejected
or accepted solely on the label
Of progressive" or Traditional"
he warns.
Lehked cites as possible pro-
gram adjustments: aeeeIeration,
summer school lfor both rapid
end slow Iearners); ability group
ing of students, special interest
clubs. research projects and read

tories. extra subjects and semi
