An In-Service AV Workshop
by Coleman M. Herts
HE use of audiovisual materials, including sound notion pictures, filmstrips, colored slide sets, disc ecordings and tape recordings, entails three areas if familiarity for teachers in the modem educational cene. The teacher must be familiar with the types of aaterials, the curricula coverage of these materials ind the mechanical devices which utilize them.
For a teacher to function efficiently as a user of ludiovisual teaching materials, he must, during his ormal preparation to meet teacher training requireaents in California, take a standard two-unit college ••ourse in audiovisual education. This basic course is lesigned to give the teacher a quick introduction to licories and techniques including the operation of ound motion picture projectors, record players, the overhead projector, opaque projector, language laborajory recording equipment, micro-projector, the reading lachistoscope, the tape recorder and the filmstrip and llide projector.
The administration of the San Leandro School Dis
rict, recognizing the need for more teacher training
'I the operation of equipment and in the utilization
,'f available audiovisual materials, has organized an
1 n-service workshop for local teachers. This voluntary
' vorkshop meets one evening a week for three hours
pr a period of 12 weeks, at the district's Instructional
flaterials Center.
During the first hour of each session, the partici
pants preview various types of audiovisual materials, particularly those the school district may be considering for purchase. This function gives the teacher group a chance to evaluate and analyze the utilization of materials within the scope of the general curricula areas and gives the administration a group consensus of teacher needs and desires.
During the remaining two hours of every session, each teacher previews and evaluates audiovisual library items pertaining to his particular interest or to the particular area of study that his students are involved with at a particular time. A fifth grade teacher, for example, interested in the social studies unit of the Westward Movement in American history, has the opportunity to examine any or all of the items available for this specific area, including 85 filmstrips, 24 sound motion pictures, 62 disc recordings and 15 photograph sets, evaluating them in terms of the needs of his class.
Although the primary activity of this workshop is the evaluation of available audiovisual materials, the participant also reviews his knowledge and increases his skills in equipment operational techniques, especially with respect to the sound motion picture projector and tape recorder.
Each semester the 15 teachers who enroll in this workshop receive salary increment credit for their participation.
