Off-Beat Method Tried by Teachers
R> (JIOOUCiE \V. NEILL Education News Service
Bold, creative approaches to teaching methods rarely suggested in typical teacher training institutions—are going to be given high priority in efforts to upgrade education in slum area schools.
The reason is obvious: old methods simply haven't worked.
An example of the kind of pioneering teachers are going to be doing in classes filled with disadvantaged children was explained by Dr. Fiank Riesmann. an associate professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Albeit Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, at a recent meeting of educators in Los Angeles.
He described how a 9th grade class, which had practically fallen asleep when read poems from a standard school anthology, came to life when it was presented the following poem by Negro Author Langston Hughes:
“I play it cool and dig all jive. That’s the reason I stay alive.
My motto, as I live and learn.
Is: Dig and be Dug in Return."
After the students had read the poem, there was a long moment of silence. Then came the exclamations:
“Hev. this is tough.”
“Hey, this cat is pretty cool.” “It’s written in our talk.”
The students were lost, however, when asked to explain what they meant
by “playing it cool " They couldn't verbalize the idea.
The students were amazed at their own analysis.
When the teacher then asked them what kinds of jive they understood, they replied: “All kinds, of course."
The teacher then read an abstract essay on truth, using every big word he could think of. The students looked blank. Then they were asked to test th& teacher’s understanding of their jive. They tossed several at him and he got all but one right. The class was impressed.
"According to Hughes, who has the better chance of staying a 1 i v e,” the teacher asked. "You or I?”
The class’ reply: “You. because you dig more than one kind of jive.”
“That’s what school is for. to help you dig all jive and stay alive,” the teacher said.
Learn School Jive
Another message came across loud and dear: they must learn the school jive. too.
The enthusiasm of that class session led the pupils into more of Hughes’ poetry — and then into other kinds of literature in more conventional language.
Similar offbeat approaches will become “normal” as teachers who are attuned to the needs of the disadvantaged become more numerous in the schools of our slums.”
