Youth and Education Minister Saul Miller announced a revised foundation grant formula to expand services for learning disabled students. The plan shifts from compulsory separate classes to integrated support with resource teachers and school psychologists, aiming to reduce labeling and improve outcomes.
The Springfield Leader weekly paper serves Northstern Manitoba communities including Pine Falls and Lac du Bonnet. It lists subscription prices: $3.00 yearly, $5.00 for two years within Canada and $4.00 yearly, $7.00 for two years outside Canada.
Mr Miller outlined shifts toward individualizing learning for students with special needs, citing research on learning and development. The plan includes about 150 resource teachers this year, rising to 220 in coming years, with grants based on qualifications after September 1972 and a new one year resource teacher preparation program at the University of Manitoba.
The Society for Crippled Children and Adults of Manitoba ran summer and preschool programs for disabled children. From July 18 to August 21 the Endust For Fun program served 39 youngsters, with outdoor activities at the Zoo and Birds Hill Park. A July 6 to 24 Pre-School Deaf Program enrolled 20 children from across the province, including Thompson and Brandon, with special services for deaf or hearing impaired preschoolers. A late July session assisted orthopedically handicapped children from rural areas, featuring therapist-led assessment and parental involvement.
Inez Striemer of Pinawa and three Manitoba teachers attended a professional development seminar by The Manitoba Teachers' Society at McMaster House St James. Speakers included G Kris Breckman, Society Director of Professional Development, outlining roles of local chairs and opportunities for growth and funding from the Society and Manitoba Youth and Education. The event aimed to boost professionalism across Manitoba teachers and encouraged participation in decision making and program evaluation.
