Knitting Classes
Classes in basic knitting have been taught for the past several years with Mrs. Mary Cleveriey of Flint Hill as instructor and the Arts and Crafts Groups and Homemakers Club of Flint Hill as sponsors. The twelfth class has just been completed, however due to the inclement weather only one subject attended all classes and received a certificate.
Five classes are held for each course and Mrs. Virginia Biggs of Flint Hill attended all with work completed for a certificate. To date a total of 93 persons have taken advantage of the classes and 70 certificates have been awarded. Ten knitters have returned and completed the course for a second time. Many of these have continued to knit and become accomplished knitters. The cooperation of the Extension Agent, Home Economics, Miss Judy Burtner and the office secretary Miss Ruby Jenkins, combined with assistance from the Arts and Crafts group under the direction of Chairman Mrs. T. J. Pillar and the willingness and enthusiasm of those wishing to leam basic knitting, has made the instruction of Mrs. Cleveriey most successful.
Rappahannock County Public School program can occur. Personnel positions which have been added to the Rappahannock County Public Schools during the 1960’s include that of Elementary Supervisor, Secondary Supervisor, Hearing and Speech Therapist, coordinator of Federal Programs, Home-School Coordinator (School Social Worker), and a number of special teaching positions. Perhaps, a far more reaching change occurred in the way Educators approach student teaching and learning during the 1960’s. Until the past decade, students were generally held accountable for what they learned or failed to leam. Research by Behaviorial Psychologists changed this concept and now “Teacher Accountability” for the progress of students is being emphasized in all Education Professional Conventions. This of course demands that teachers be aware of “how children leam” as well as “how they fail” in order that the latter can be prevented. Such education, based on the “change of behavior in students” promises to add the quality and sensitivity to the educational process that has sometimes been lacking, f The : decade. Ot!thedl960^ hffi
