Separate recommendations were developed for elementary and secondary grades because of the different needs of these levels. The teacher was used as the individual unit at the elementary level; however the secondary recommendation was made in reference to a specified number of students.
These recommendations were made with the full realization of budgetary Hmitations. They are not minimum standards nor do tliey represent equipment that would not be utilized to the full degree in the effectiveness of the educational program. An outstanding opportunity for learning is not possible unless the
instructional materials are made available to the teacher.
Administrators concerned with equipment piuchase and utilization should familiarize themselves with the figures that follow. These recommendations were not arrived at lightly. Much thought and the results of the experience gained through many years of audiovisual service by the various committee members went into the formulation of these recommendations.
It is the sincere hope of the committee that these recommendations will serve the purpose for which they were established: to help in the upgrading of equipment, both quantity and quality, available to the teachers at the local level.
Audio Visual Equipment Standards
Recommended By AVEAC-SS, 1961
Basic Assumptions
Any suggested set of standards must have certain underlying basic assumptions. The following important assumptions make our standards more logical and reasonable.
1. We assume that each school will have or provide strategically located storage facilities for equipment.
2. We assume that some person will be responsible for the orderly storage and usage of equipment at the school.
3. We assume that some person will be responsible for
the flow of materials within, or in and out of, a school, or both.
4. We assume that some person will be adequately trained and informed concerning the function, usage and availability of materials for the various items of equipment and that such person will be in the school or available to the school.
5. We assume some plan for maintenance of equipment, and the obtaining of supplies and materials for the equipment.
