Paul Butler Request Virginia's Scylla and Charybdis come to confuse fantasy with reality can at least partially explain the passive detachment with which 37 New Yorkers watched from their apartment house windows, the murder of their 28-year-old neighbor, psychiatrist Ralph S. Banay told a symposium on violence held by the M edical C o r rectional Assn. The 37 watched for more than 30 minutes while a killer stalked and stabbed the young woman while she cried for help. Only one person placed a call to the police and that was done after the victim was already dead. “These people were deaf, paralyzed, hypnotized with excitation. . .fascinated by the drama, by the action, and yet not entirely sure that what was taking place was actually hap pening,” said Dr. Banay. “ We underestimate the damage that these accumulated images do to the brain”, he stated. Today's Child The gross injustices of Virginia’s poll tax and malapportioned legislature have oppressed our citizens for too many years. At long last some of the chains restricting the size of our electorate were broken. It took the tortuous trail of a constitutional amendment to abolish the poll tax as a prerequisite for voting for federal offices. Happily Virginia registrars are reporting record registrations for the November 3 elections. The desperate chicanery of a “certificate of residence” in federal elections as a wishful substitute for the outlawed poll tax was prop erly struck down by federal court action. Let’s hope the enlarged electorate comes out with a resounding vote to establish conclusively the new forces to be reckoned with in Virginia politics. Bob Bogen Another hopeful sign, although somewhat shaky at the moment, is the court-ordered mandate for reappor tionment of the state legislature.

A strange rationale has been advanced by rural interests in their hollow arguments of fear of corrupt urban politicians gaining 7-13 to welcome Greater San control of state legislatures. This alleged fear is simply a mask for Diego’s 4,500 teachers back to to school. The 500 new and the real fear of loss of ill-gotten power and control. For years rurally-dominated state legislatures across the nation 4,000 returning teachers were have cynically disregarded even their own constitutional mandates honored guests of the com to reapportion periodically. These self-same legislatures which munity at everything from a violate basic principles of representative government control the “Haggers Hoedown” , a fashion standards for curriculm, certification of personnel, and financing of show (for men and women), ice public education. The highly touted “ loss of local control” skating party, “teacher’s night arguments against federal support for education are flimsy at best on the town” , harbor cruises to since state governments historically have delegated as much or as a professional leadership con little control as they see fit to local boards of education. In Virginia ference and lavish salutes from the rural legislature has stripped local school boards of much of the town’s mayor, churchmen, their proper function and jurisdiction. Further, most local boards business leaders, newspaper are creatures of the state political machinery and about as far removed from the local citizenry as can be found anywhere in the publishers, TV broadcasters, and service brass. Nation. To make the new teachers Our sister state of Tennessee has had an inquitous history over sixty years of complete disregard for a constitutional mandate feel a part of the community, for a decennial reapportionment. It was poetic justice that the the town buzzed with “ Wel United States Supreme Court decision in Tennessee’s historic case come Teacher” posters, bumper of Baker vs. Carr finally offered urban-suburban dwellers hope for stickers, banners, serenades, a break in the long-standing stranglehold of rural minorities. The open houses, free cokes, door distribution of school funds, as well as funds for other important prizes, TV tributes, luncheons, state programs, has been notoriously weighted against the urban banquets and receptions. On the taxpayers. No accountability has been forthcoming for this history practical side the new teachers of abuse as the rural legislative majorities, representing constituent minorities, blithely constructed their formulas to dole out dis could choose from more than proportionate shares to themselves of the heavy “takes” from 2000 listings in town and could seek all so rts o f p erso n al urban taxpayers. “Taxation without representation ” were fighting words to our services, inform ation, advice forefathers. We have exhausted all the legal and political processes and transportation from SDTA to correct these blatant inequites.

Without the Supreme Court, citizens this year vying with where does the urban voter go for equity and justice? To the malapportioned legislatures which have closed their eyes to these each other to show teachers, crass inequities, lo these many years? A ludicrous thought!

At the Leadership Training Institute I asked all of us to look ahead toward the future of the Arlington County School System. Here are some questions I asked: What efforts or plans does Arlington have to attract and use Federal funds and foundation funds to institute new educational programs? The rising national concern about our undereducated youth has led to the availability of funds from both these sources for pilot and demonstrative projects. What early retirement programs does Arlington need to develop so that educators have the security of knowing that should there occur an early disability, as for instance, a heart attack, their financial security would be protected? The Federal government, recognizing that a child’s learning difficulties usually start very early in his educational career, is beginning to help subsidize elementary school guidance. What plans does Arlington have for elementary school guidance? Arlington currently has standards for the number of pupils per teacher. What plans does it have for establishing standards for the number of students per administrator, the number of teachers per supervisor, the number of teachers per helping teacher, the number of students per librarian, the number of teachers per secretary? What plans does Arlington have to provide for the inservice training of administrators to upgrade those in service and develop administrative potential from those already in Arlington service? What plans does Arlington have to improve its basic salary scale, the scale with which we must recruit teachers new to Arlington, this year 15% of our total staff? What plans do we have for recognizing teachers who earn advanced degrees? We have a large and very rich reservoir of highly trained, very able people available for use during the summer months. How can Arlington take advantage of this resource to strengthen the school program? Arlington has a justly deserved reputation as a fine school system. Its schools have served as “ Lighthouse’’ schools for the state and nation. It is important that we maintain this leadership position. Today in technology, in business, in national defense, in industry, one must run hard just to keep up-to-date. To lead, one must do more than run hard. Education has the same problem. Maintaining the status quo would soon leave us far behind. We need to look constantly for improvements. L e t t e r s to t h e E d i t o r The REPORTER invites letters.

During the past several years a small number of AEA members have provided emergency blood service when it was needed by a member or his family. This will no longer be possible under the new plan approved by the Board of Directors. Attempts were made in years past to establish an AEA Blood Bank under the Red Cross. In order to maintain a bank with the Red Cross, a minimum of 200 pints must be kept on deposit at all times. Since AEA members were unable to meet this balance, the AEA has not had a blood bank. Under the plan of the Metropolitan Washington Blood Service Plan it will now be possible to have blood protection for those AEA members who wish to participate. Unlike the Red Cross Plan, the new plan provides for a walking blood bank. Blood is kept by donors until it is needed. By signing a pledge, an AEA member will provide protection for himself and his dependents. Only one-third of the membership will be called upon to donate blood during a given year. Never theless, protection is provided for all those who have signed pledges. If a member who signs a pledge cannot donate blood when it is called for, another member will be asked to donate in his name. We urge you to become a member of the new AEA Blood Bank. Blood can only be supplied to those AEA members who sign pledges now. Remember, the blood you pledge today may be needed at some future time by you and your loved ones. Have blood ready when you need it! �P ag e T h ree AEA R e p o r t e r O c to b e r , 1964 ----- 1 ---------------------------------------- What Price ForA Masters Degree Bogen Attends Political Clinic by Lucile Ellison, Secretory NEA Citizenship If an Arlington teacher de­ Committee cides to upgrade himself by As a long-range plan in build­ taking a Masters degree, this i how much i will cost him: ing political know-how in s t teacher organizations, the Tuition costs: N E A Citizenship Committee 32 credits @ $40 per credit in cooperation with North­ (price at American U. and western state associations and G W U ) ......... $1,280.00 five other units of the National Time costs: Education Association i spon­ s Time required for each credit: soring i s second regional t 1hr. instruction plus 2 hrs. political clinic in Spokane, preparation equals 3 hrs.

Under the sponsorship of the N E A and in cooperation with the United States Agency for International Development and the Sierra Leone Ministry of Education, she worked with a team of twenty American classroom teachers who con­ ducted teacher training work­ shops for approximately 300 elementary teachers in the West African country. The Teach Corps ofthe NEA, created to provide new educa­ tional force in international relations, utilizes the services of experienced American teachers who volunteer their services during the summer months to work professionally with teachers in foreign lands to their mutual enrichment. American materials and ideas on curricula and methodology were introduced and demon­ strated during the five-week course. The teachers of Sierra Leone, who participated in the Vacation School were enthusi­ astic and eager. Their serious ap­ proach showed recognition of the importance of their role in shaping the destiny of this newly independent nation. Classrooms buzzed with activity as new ideas were tried and teaching aids were constructed in the many phases of the program. Laughter and singing interspersed serious discussions in which teachers of two cul­ tures adapted their thinking to one another in order to better guide children, citizens of to­ morrow’ sworld. There was excitement in being a part of a program de­ scribed by our Ambassador i n Sierra Leone, as being true and useful American aid. Amer­ ican participants in this vaca­ tion experience returned to their classrooms in a l sections of the l U.S. richer in understanding problems of emerging nations as well as increased pride in their profession. Q u e s tio n s (Continuedfrom Page 1) our obligation does not stop with the top one third of the class. We had four high schools in Arlington, have closed one and now have three overcrowded high schools. Perhaps the expansion of the high school that was discontinued would would have been a more prac­ t c l solution of the problem. I ia t might not be too late to rectify thiserror. There i some evidence of s poor utilization of the teacher’ s specialties. A teacher whose specialty i history should not s be teaching language and vice versa.

Through these two means, I would encourage and support the emphasis being placed by the school board on strengthing the school program for the mid­ dle group of children, neither gifted or handicapped, who constitute the large majority of our school population. I am particularly interested in the program for the Prevention of Learning Difficulties. This pro­ gram i intended to reduce the s waste in human potential which occurs when students f i to al learn to read or to develop s i l and attitudes essential to kls progress in school and full participation in modern l f . ie Many of these students conse­ quently become unproductive, disinterested and frequently drop out of school. I am interested in the Cur­ riculum Improvement Program that i designed to secure for s Arlington the best of materials and to make changes in curricu­ lum offerings based on research and the community’desire for s enriched and more effective programs. Finally, I believe that con­ tinued effort must be expended on the manner and way in which we reward our teachers. Our salary scale must reflect the professional performance we expect from our teachers i we f are to retain and improve the high quality level of instruction that exists in our system today.” E d u c a tio n D ig e sts (Continuedfrom Page 2) Tanyzer of Hofstra University have prepared the i/t/a ( n t a Iiil Teaching Alphabet) readers, workbooks and manuals. The favorable results of the program as observed by Nancy Larrick, former president of the International Reading As­ sociation include: significant differences in reading levels between i/t/a groups and those taught by the standard alphabet; spectacular achievements in creative writing; and oppor­ tunity to read more interesting and diversified material. After eight month’ instruction 50.7 s per cent of the i/t/a group read on second grade level as opposed to 6.1 per cent of the standard alphabet; 24 per cent were reading on third grade level as opposed to 0 per cent; 14 per cent on f r t grade level is opposed to 74.4 per cent taught by standard alphabet; while only 11.3 per cent i/t/a were on a primer le e , contrasted with vl 19.5 per cent standard. Because the children are taught to form letters and symbols from the start and encouraged to write words, sentences and paragraphs, they were able to express themselves more freely so that many were writing nine and ten-word sen­ tences quickly and eagerly. The transition from Pitman to tradi­ tional alphabet occurs about the end of the f r t grade and is since most of the spelling words on the standard l s s are phoit Leadership Institute (Continuedfrom Page I ) Halliday, John Palmer and the singing audience. Worship Services were of­ fered to the group on Sunday morning beginning at 7:30. Breakfast was followed by the fourth General Session at 10 o’ clock. During this session, summations of the workshop groups preceded a report from Bob Richards, executive secre­ tary of the Teachers Associa­ tion of Baltimore County who acted as evaluator of the total program. Each member then offered his own written evalua­ tion of the Institute. After another famous Hilltop House meal, the group was free to return home. 66 members of the Executive Committee, however, met again at one, and remained in session until four.

Non-favorable aspects of the program included the observa­ tion that other subjects were being neglected for reading and that the quiet conducive to con­ centrated learning of the read­ ing stifled the child’ normal s need to express himself.

Believ­ t ing that active support of worth­ while community projects i an s inherent privilege as well as a responsibility, the Association will perform in an important role in several activities in the near future. In an effort to acquaint newer residents, as well as older inter­ ested residents, with the County and i s many interests and t a t vities, i s opportunities, and ci t ispast, present and future, the t Association i cooperating with s the Arlington Citizen’Partici­ s pation Council in arranging a series of meetings in which pertinent information about our County will be presented. These meetings should become a con­ tinuing effort, providing a much needed information source to residents as well as stimulating a rightful pride in and a desire to become a positive factor in the com­ munity. American Education Week, from Nov. 8 to 14, provides an opportunity for the Associa­ tion to assume a leading role in recognizing education as a primary bulwark of a democ­ racy in a world of conflicting ideologies. Numerous aids will be provided to Arlington schools to help in focusing attention on the important role our school system plays. A third activity of consider­ ed importance i the presenta­ s tion of an evening’conferences program by the Association to the Arlington Council of Par­ ent-Teacher Associations at Jackson Elementary School on Nov. 16. I i anticipated that, t s in addition to presenting num­ erous aspects of the parentteacher role in improving edu­ cation of our Arlington stu­ dents, the general outline and certain specific songs of the upcoming Association musical show may be presented.

All jurisdictions studied listed a particular number of steps, but since varying credit was allowed for outside experience, no correlation existed between years of experience and number of steps.

For these reasons the following two tables com pare only the maximum salaries attainable at the present time without regard to the number of steps in individual salary programs. No table is included comparing Doc toral salary schedules since there are only four teachers in Arlington on this scale. 1964-65 MAXIMUM SALARY FOR TEACHERS WITH BACHELOR’ S DEGREES IN THE MASTER’ S DEGREE CANDIDATES WASHINGTON-BALTIMORE COMPLEX P h y s ic s ............................................

As is any projection, they are based on assumptions, and there fore no absolute validity is claimed for them. In Arling ton County, however, we have a salary schedule that is projected to the school year 1971-72. At that time, pre sumably, the maximum salary attainable with a Master’ s degree w ill be $12,000. In comparing this figure with the salaries of other jurisdictions, one cannot operate in a vacuum, and therefore some sort of projection is necessary. The following figures were obtained to the nearest ten dol lars by finding the average rate of increase from 1959-60 to 1964-65, and assuming that the same rate of increase would continue from 1964-65 to 1971-72.

In order to take advantage of this substantial saving of association funds, the budgeted item of $250 was overspent by $372 with approval of the officers in June. Actually the entire budget for insurance and bonding of $240 was unspent from last year's budget since we delayed payment on this item until we could properly assess the needs for a comprehensive program. When .next year's budget is formulated, this item of insurance and bonding will consolidate these expenditures and set up a running account to take advantage of the three year savings without affecting any one year's budget drastically. �ARLINGTON EDUCATION ASSOCIATION Arlington, Virginia MEMORANDUM AEA # 60 October 6, 1964 TO: Board of Directors FROM: Robert U.

Bogen, Executive Secretary SUBJECT: Tabulation of AEM Questionnaire Last spring at the request of the AEA Board of Directors, a question­ naire was distributed to secure information and opinions from members. The results were to be used to guide officers and committee chairmen-in” planning their work this year. As evaluated by comments and constructive criticism, the questionnaire was felt to be too long and too detailed. Despite this handicap 928 ques­ tionnaires were returned. Many came in with a limited number of questions answered. The reason for this, as stated on several, was the fact that the teacher had not been in the system long enough to give a valid response to certain items. Considering the length of the questionnaire and the difficulty involved in completing it, the total response on various questions was good. Varia­ tions in the total number of responses appear in the results since questions were skipped for reasons known only to the individuals responding. One ex­ ample was pointed out above. Another serious handicap was our request for the name of the teacher on the first page despite our assurance of confidential treatment. Our next questionnaire of this type should be anonymous for a higher return totally and also on certain "touchy" questions. All in all, the results should help us considerably in developing this year's program. Please express our thanks to everyone in your building who cooperated with us by turning in a questionnaire. We want to thank all those who helped in the massive job of tabulating and compiling the results over several months. .. We are sending several copies for placing in the teachers' rooms. If any AEA members desire additional copies, we will run extra sets at a later date. Bring such requests to the next Board meeting an October 22. �ARLINGTON EDUCATION ASSOCIATION Arlington, Virginia RESPONSES TO SALARY COMMITTEE QUESTIONNAIRE QUESTION: Do you prefer salary payments in 10 months?

All members of the Executive Committee mere present. Mrs. Algor introduced Mrs. Rose Holton who presented candidates for local and state races in the November 3 elections. Mrs. Holton asked each candidate to speak for five minutes. A question and answer period followed their presentations. All candidates were invited to the meeting. Those who took part were: Richard May, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate; James Respess, Independent Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate supporting Johnson-Humphrey; and Tom Richards, ABC can­ didate for the Arlington County Board. All candidates were sent a list of questions pertaining to education issues related to the office they seek. These will be printed in a special November is­ sue of the AEA REPORTER. FINANCIAL REPORT - Miss McPherson, treasurer, explained the financial report (AEA #61) and the report (AEA #60) covering insurance and bonding for the AEA of­ fice. Mr. Stiss moved that the Executive Committee recommend to the Board of Di­ rectors that the deficit in item #12.7 for insurance and bonding be removed by an allocation from item #25.1, unobligated cash reserve. Mr. Montgomery seconded the motion. Motion carried with no dissents. Mrs. Day moved approval of the financial report. Mrs. Holton seconded. Motion was carried with no dissents. OFFICERS REPORT - Mrs. Algor requested from executive committee members 196A-65 projects for all AEA committees, names of committee members and necessary financing for committee work for the balance of this fiscal year. EXECUTIVE SECRETARY REPORT - Mr. Bogen handed out results of AEA questionnaire and VEA Committee Reports that will be considered at the VEA Convention. COMMITTEE REPORTS 1. Legislative - There was discussion about the NEA resolution on desegregation in state and local associations and the study recommended by the VEA Board of Direc­ tors on the matter of opening VEA membership to all members of local associations. The VEA Board paints out this would involve rescinding the 1955 resolution limiting membership procedures to past traditions of VEA. Dr. Rupert merger of state the proposal of committee to be 22 AEA Board of Picott, executive secretary of VTA, discussed VTA's stand on the associations. Mrs. Halliday, president of District H, clarified the VEA Board. After lengthy discussion, Mr. Stiss asked for a set up to study this and prepare a recommendation for the October Directors meeting. Members of— -the special committee are; Alex Costea, Mary Collins, and Bud Adler. John Atkins, Harvey Wright, Harvey Wynn, Mr. Atkins moved adoption of AEA platform for state legislation. seconded. Motion carried with no -dissenting votes. Mr. Wynn 2. District H - The District H dinner will be held at 5:30 on October 28 at the John Marshall Hotel, Colony Room. �EXECUTIUE COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES (cant.) - 2 - October 8, 1964 The annual District H meeting will be at Kenmore at 8:00 p.m. an October 21. nr. Franklin Cain, Field Representative .of UEA, will attend. 3. Citizenship - Candidates' responses to AEA questionnaire will be published in a special edition of the REPORTER. UEA election return project referred to Rose Holton, chairman of the AEA Citizenship Committee, for decision. Firs. Holton was empowered to proceed on this project provided that it seemed advisable. 4. Credentials - Firs. Tarantola reported that her committee has studied the AEA bylaws and AEA policies now in existence. She painted out that AD Hoc committee chairmen are not eligible for automatic nomination to attend the UEA convention as are standing committee chairmen. Ad Hoc chairmen can still be nominated by their own faculties. The committee has prepared the PR&R ballot and submitted it to the AEA office for duplication and distribution. The Credentials Committee suggested personal contact with absentees from the Board of Directors meetings (i.e., at least a call to those who do not attend). Firs. Algor agreed to appoint an advisory committee from the Board of Directors to study ways of improving attendance at Board meetings. It was recommended that each Board of Directors member bring a person from his school to each meeting. 5. Salary - Fir. Wynn reported the BA-F1A transfer plan was discussed with Fir. Reid. It was not taken up at the last school board meeting by the executive secretary. However, the matter was discussed by the School Board and recommendations from the school administration will be forthcoming by the time Dr. Laszlo Ecker-Racz returns from his Asian trip. AEA will continue to work with the school administration on this problem. Fir. Wynn painted out the need for information regarding teacher placement on the current salary scale for a cost analysis by AEA. The executive secretary re­ ported past, present and future efforts to get this information. Apparently, the handling Df such information has been transferred to the data processing office from the personnel office. This has produced some delay in securing the informa­ tion. Other community organizations would also like to secure the same information. Fir. Wynn feels that after all the talk about improved communications more needs to be done to acquire basic data more efficiently for use in pre-budget work. Fir. Cornacchione expressed his feeling that Fir. Wynn has a legitimate point. 6. Social - Fliss Hay requested that those who cannot come to executive committee meetings please notify her in advance. This will avoid preparing too much food for the executive committee dinner. The meeting was adjourned at 10:05 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Flary Collins Recording Secretary � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Under the present policy, a teacher transferring from the Bachelor's Career Scale to the Masters' Career Scale may receive an in­ crease of $100, $200, $300, $AD0 or $500 solely dependent upon the particular salary step he has attained on the BA Career Scale when his degree work is completed. The actual differentials for this transfer under existing policies are indicated graph­ ically by the arrows in Appendix I on page 3. In the 1962-63 Salary Scale, all teachers who transferred from the BA Scale to the MA 5cale received a $A00 differential at each step. The present transfer policy for moving a teacher from the MA Career Scale to the Doctor's Career Scale similarly provides a regular $500 differential at all steps of the MA Scale. The BA Career Scale does not provide for the same increments at corresponding steps on the MA 5cale; therefore, the transfer differential presents the varying pattern mentioned above. The inequity involved in the present transfer procedures may be better under­ stood if one considers two hypothetical teachers; A and B as designated on the Scales in Appendix I. Teacher A is on Step 11, teacher B is on Step 12 of the Bachelor Career Scale. Teacher A with a salary of $8A00 on the BA Career Scale can transfer to the MA Career 5cale Step 10 with a salary of $8900 giving a differential of $500. Teacher B with an $8800 salary and one step ahead of teacher A on the BA Career Scale cannot move to Step 11 with a $9A00 salary on the MA Career Scale be­ cause the differential would be $600 or $100 in excess of the present $500 limita­ tion on such transfers. By existing policy teacher B is also placed on Step 10 of the MA Career Scale with only a $100 differential for having acquired his MA degree. Teacher B has received $A00 less than teacher A for his MA Oegree; yet both teachers have met identical requirements. Therefore, the only difference between the two teachers is the fortuitous circumstance of which step of the BA Career Scale they are on at the time they receive the MA Degree. One teacher who actually received the $100 increase in the above example, estimated that despite the fact he received some scholarship assistance, he had spent in excess of $1,000 for tuition and books at the American University in order to obtain his MA degree. In addition, he estimated that he invested over 1,500 hours of his time in preparing for his advanced degree. This latter figure was calculated by estimating that it took two hours of preparation for each hour in class. If this teacher had spent a like amount of time on a part-time job that paid a minimal wage of $2.00 per hour, he could have earned $3,000. This means that for a personal investment equivalent to $A,000 he received an immediate monetary return of only $100 on the salary schedule. Extensive thought and study has been given to this problem by our school admin­ istration and teachers alike. Although the Bachelor's Career Scale and the Masters' Career Scale begin with a differential of $500, they progress with unequal incre­ ments as pointed out above; the existing problem in one form or another is unavoid­ ably with us. That is, it does not appear possible to arrange the two salary scales so that teachers can transfer from varying steps on the BA Career Scale to the MA Career Scale with a comparable differential without a significant revision of the existing salary scale which would affect many teachers who have no relationship to the transfer problem. The only approach that appeared feasible in attempting to correct the inequities in the existing policy will place some teachers between steps of the MA Career Scale for varying periods of time. Understandably the administra­ tion of salaries and accurate appraisal of continuing costs of the salary scales would be more complex if large numbers of teachers received salaries placing them between steps on the salary scale. �REPORT OF THE SALARY COP1P1ITTEE (cant.) 2 9/17/6A However, the paint af greatest importance to staff morale is that teachers should receive equal differentials in salary as the result of having attained com­ parable advanced degrees. The 5alary Committee made every effort to eliminate the salary inequity-while maintaining the maximum degree of administrative efficiency in-fiscal management. A solution has been proposed by the AEA Salary Committee which- would remove the transfer inequity by granting all BA Career teachers the same differential while leaving them between steps the shortest period of time. Specif­ ically, the proposal is: That the Arlington County School Board authorize, in addi­ tion to the yearly increment, an increase in salary of $500 for the current year for any BA Career Scale teacher who has shown evidence of having completed his Plasters' degree requirements before September 1, 196A, and that such teacher shall receive a minimum increment of SABO in each succeeding year until he reaches an established step on the PIA Career Scale, such step to be reached by $500 increment wherever applicable. It is further recommended that the stipulations herein shall also apply to BA Career Scale teachers who complete Plasters' degree requirements subsequent to September 1, 196A as well as those who qualified for the P A Career Scale effective I September 1, 1963. As described graphically in Appendix II, page A, this proposal would equalize the salary differential for the P A and put teachers at particular places in between I steps for a minimal period of time. The proposed career transfer scale attempts to retain simplicity in arrangement so that it can be easily interpreted; in annual cost appraisals, the relatively few teachers between steps in a given year would be nominal. An analysis of the plan will show that of the 11 possible transfer steps, three BA steps (6A0Q, 8A00 and 1D5B0) move teachers to the PIA Career Scale directly; five BA steps (8000, 880B, 92BB, 9600 and 10000). will require only one year between PIA steps; and three BA steps will be out of a phase for 2 years (7600), 3 years (7200) and A years (6800), respectively (see Appendix II for graphic description). Since only 15-20 teachers are expected to move from the BA Career Scale to the PIA Career Scale annually, the $5Q0 differential for all would not likely require a great deal more money than the cost for the existing policy which provides $100, $200, $300, $A00 or $500. It is our sincere hope that such a plan can be developed in the best interest of teacher morale. Ue pledge our full support in the effort to achieve an equitable solution to this vexing problem. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The deadline for their return is November 3 (Good date to remember I) PERSONNEL POLICIES: Your teachers should recognize that the Arlington Education Association has been named by school board policy as an official organization to participate in the review of all personnel policies now being compiled in the school board's new administrative manual. As a part of the official procedure, before any action is taken on changes, our Com­ mittee will submit recommendations for suggested improvements and have an opportunity to discuss them with the superintendent. This is a big step forward for AEA and should be so recognized by your members as well as nonmembers . This is one phase of the official recognition we discussed with the school board last year. Please inform your faculties of this progress. N A i INSURANCE: Information on the expanded group life insurance plan of E' NEA was explained in the October issue of the NEA JOURNAL. Brochures and posters on this excellent group coverage are being ordered to give NEA mem­ bers maximum information on the improved benefits to those who are members of both the NEA and a state affiliate. AEA'5 WASHINGTON NATIONAL INCuME PROTECTION - we are working with Washington National officials to prepare material for all new AEA members who are new to the school system. There are no insurability questions for this group. Members who were in the system last year, but missed the "open period" in February, can still take out the insurance provided they can establish their insurability.

Please be sure that every AEA member has the opportunity to know of this benefit of group membership. A special arrangement is being made available ior those AEA members who wish to participate. Only those AEA members who pledge are immediately a part of the group. Other AEA members who do not wish to participate by pledging are not then counted against our quota and are not elegible to receive blood through this plan. Please be clear on this point with members so that we do not have misunderstandings at a later date. An article on page 2 of the October issue of the AEA REFORTER (now at the printers) will ex plain this again to members. The deadline for this initial drive is the next Board of Directors meeting, October 22, Kenmore at 7:00 P.M. Please bring the pledge forms and any questions your members have about the plan. Members may be en rolled all during the year, but are not covered until the pledge form is in the AEA office for processing and sending on to the MLl IBB. Important - any member who is unable to give blood for any reason should secure a substitute pledge. It is possible for many individuals to donate blood several times a year. If no substitute can be secured, let us know in the AEA office. I e will try to find a substitute for a member who is unable d to give blood for medical reasons. FINANCIAL REPORT: Please take note of the recommendation to erase the deficit of 3372 incurred for AEA insurance and bonding taken on a three year basis. This will save the association 373, as noted in the enclosed memo, on bonding and insurance (AEA //60). Other deficits incurred by committees were discussed. They arose in view of increased activity and expanded programs beyond budget anticipation in April when the budget was prepared. The president has called for an analysis of all committee projects and financial needs for the rest of the year. The officers have asked the executive secretary to come up with some written proposals to consider a policy in handling AEA fiscal matters. These policies will be reviewed at the next meeting of the Executive Com mittee. AEA QUESTIONNAIRE - The enclosed memo (AEA #50) on the tabulation of last Spring's questionnaire should be considered for discussion on October 22. After your acceptance of the report, consideration should be tjiven by of ficers and committee chairmen of using these results for building future AEA programs. NEA EVALUATION: At Harpers Ferry and in packets distributed to those who were unable to attend, copies of the NEA Evaluation of AEA were given to you. Please inform your members that the report is available for their study. A limited number of additional copies can be ordered for use in faculty roams. A number will be kept on file in the AEA office. Committee Chairmen will appreciate member's reaction to features of the report that will help in formulation of proposals to implement any desirable recommenda tions . �ADVANCE AGENDA ITERS - BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING - 2 October 22, 1964 - LEGISLATION: Please review the enclosed proposals for supplementing the state association legislative programs. They were recommended to you by the Executive Committee. You will be asked to vote on them on October 22 in preparation for state conventions - October 20-30. Also take note of the special committee set up to deal with the VEA study of the question of membership in VEA as affected by the NEA Resolu tion on Desegregation of State and Local Affiliates adopted at last July's convention in Seattle. The special committee, appointed by the president (see executive minutes, P. 1), met on October 15 to consider an AEA position on this question. If possible we will try to get you the results of their deliberation prior to your October 22 meeting. CITIZENSHIP: Rose Holton, Citizenship Committee Chairman, has agreed to co ordinate the VEA initiated project of calling in election returns from local precincts throughout the state. The VEA's Executive Committee and Board of Directors announced their acceptance of the project and told us that they decided that the 1,5000 com pensation for all the local poll workers for calling in the results to our local news media would be put into the VEA President's Scholarship Fund. In discussing this at the District H Board meeting with Mrs. Halliday, District H President, and officers from Alexandria and Falls Church, it was decided that we would agree to participate with the stipulation that a pro rata share of the .|>5000 could be returned t D those locals who requested it for their own Scholarship funds. This request apparently upset the VEA executive secretary. We have the additional problem in Arlington of having a Citizenship Chairman (our logical official to coordinate such a project) who is not now eligible for VEA membership. L e are going ahead with the project, which is an excellent opportunity i for us to cooperate with our news media services. They will count on us to do a top job for them in getting quick election returns for their readers and viewers. We have the understanding that we will receive a prorata share of the !.,500D for the Arlington County Teachers Scholarship Fund, Inc., a non-profit corporation which helps Arlington students and teachers with scholarship assistance through fund raising of its own. AEA contributes s v5Q0 from its budget each year and has a representative on the Fund's Board of Directors. CREDENTIALS: The balloting has been tabulated for VEA Convention delegates. Delegates in addition to those going from the offices and executive com mittee are: Uhlman S. Alexander Donna Crook Robert Pruess Sue Goodman Juliana Graves Celeste B.

A desk for each child is not enough, was the opinion of the community. If children are to make the best use of their time in school, it was felt every teacher must be trained so well that each child will receive good instruction in all subjects. The School Board recognizes that there is a growing body of knowledge which teachers need to pass on to their pupils, and that better ways are being found to teach arithmetic, reading, spelling and other subjects. Even ex perienced teachers can benefit from refresher courses and beginners need help in order to become effective teachers as quickly as possible. Arlington’s programs for professional improvement of teachers, as described here, were begun one at a time as needs became apparent. The plans are flexible and undergoing constant change and improvement.

Closely connected with this policy, although not a part of any teacher's contract, is a requirement instituted in 1959 that the few Arlington teachers who have not completed college must begin an organized program of study to complete their college training. They must report to the Superintendent each June on the progress they have made and must outline plans of study for the Cl] �year ahead.

Bo gen, former executive secretary of the Aldington Education As sociation (AEA), blasted critics of tile County School Board la st» night at the board meeting. Bogen recently resigned after three years at his AEA post in order to complete work on his doctorate. Bogen also announced the ap pointment of his successor, Ken neth Law, 30, a graduate of Col umbia University and past execu tive secretary of the Connecticut Edacation Association. LAW WAS appointed by the AEA Monday, Bogen said. Following is the text of Bogen’s speech to the board: “DURING more than three years in Arlington County I have had the unique opportunity to view the trends in public policy in three separate roles, as the executive secretary of an organ ization representing more than 90 per cent of the professional staff of the public schools, as a parent until children in its schools, and a taxpaying citizen. “Now that my tenure is coming to an end, I feel compelled to make a few observations from each of three roles. “As a former classroom teach er and a spokesman for Arling ton’s educators, I have a very good feeling about the outlook for (ovet) In other action, the Board, heard comments from Robert) Bogen, outgoing president!

"EACH OP our School Board members has a blend of special ized graduate training and more than 15 years’ experience in re levant subject fields, a record of leadership in school and civic af fairs prior to membership on the Board, and the experience of having had at least two children graduate from our schools. In cooperation with a very able staff, they have steadily increased the meaningful opportunities for groups and individual citizens to play a constructive role in the process of determining priorities on school spending and other ma jor issues. “After careful deliberation and consideration of staff and citizens views, they have made signifi cant additions to the quantity, quality, and variety of instruction al offerings, specialized person nel, and materials to meet iden tified educational needs of the community. “AS A PARENT.
