Bay City Aide Plan Tackles Teacher Shortage
Bay City Michigan officials led by Charles B Park used nonprofessional aides to handle routine classroom chores freeing teachers to focus on instruction. A Ford Foundation grant funded a stop watch survey showing 26 percent of teaching time spent on non teaching tasks. Follow up studies showed aides increased classroom recitation and individualized help while reducing clerical duties, with teachers and parents approving the approach. Park later helped other districts adopt similar programs.
