The 111th Street School is successfully educating black students K-6 in inner-city Los Angeles. The key to the program's success is a form of organization designed to functionally support an ungraded system of learning centers devoted to attainment of specific educational objectives. Two Directories, this for the classroom teacher and a separate volume for the principal, provide a complete pattern to follow in creating a similar structure within your own school environment. At 111th Street School teachers, resource personnel, and supporting aides and volunteers are organized into two units. The Early Childhood unit serves children who would normally be in K-3. The Upper Age group serves children who would normally be in grades 4-6. Students are freely transferred between the units based on their abilities. The environment of the 111th Street School is dynamic. Frequent faculty workshops, team meetings, and staff development activities result in improved procedures for managing the ungraded instructional program and the general operation of the school. Objective-oriented hard work by students, staff, and parents has resulted in significant improvement in academic performance. (Author/JM)
