The People In Everything Program. A Humanistic Approach Towards Education.
The People In Everything (PIE) Program is an attempt to provide humanistic education by involving the total school population in teaching-learning environment improvement. Primarily an inservice program for K-8 teachers, staff and administrators, its objectives are seen as identifying human relations problems and developing the skills to solve them in a staff-team concept. The program is implemented in seven stages: (1) the recognition by a school or community member that the human relations climate can be improved; (2) the agreement of someone in authority that the need exists; (3) meetings of PIE staff, school administrators, school staff, and community leaders to assess needs; (4) application of interpersonal human relations sessions; (5) application of the skills developed in these sessions to develop long and short range goals for individuals, the school and the community in developing interpersonal awareness; (6) the development of programs and practices to be carried out through the school and calandar year to reinforce the human relations program in school and community; (7) evaluation of the year's programs and their modification if necessary. Benefits of the program are seen to be an improvement in morale, improved student learning and development, increased positive attitudes of staff and students toward each other, improved attendance, decreased vandalism and discipline problems, improved programs and facilities, community pride and self-growth.
