Extractions: With the busing issue behind them, Oklahoma City schools eye improvements. Some educators and parents of children in the Oklahoma City Public Schools have a new sense of purpose these daysa sense that they have put their educational house in order. Academic performance and the quality of teaching are on the upswing, these boosters say, and in many cases rival that found in the 13 smaller districts within the boundaries of the city, which sprawls over 600 square miles. "There have been great improvements in the educational delivery system over the last 10 years in the Oklahoma City Public Schools," says Ted Metscher, the president of the district's affiliate of the American Federation of Teachers. He points out that test scores in Oklahoma City have climbed, matching gains made by the state's suburban districts; that only two elementary schools in the district were put on the state "at-risk list" in 1996-97, down from nine the previous year; and that labor-management relations, "generally speaking, are acceptable." The district, which enrolled 40,000 students in 1996making it the state's largest after Tulsahas also been freed from a court-imposed desegregation order and is making long-deferred repairs to school buildings, installing air conditioning, and expanding a popular magnet school program.

Extractions: A veteran teacher gains new insights into her students and overcomes a tough year. L ast year was rough going for veteran teacher Mary Kruska. Her fourth grade class was perhaps the most difficult she'd ever taught in her 21 years at Washington Elementary in Altus, Oklahoma. "The kids were misbehaving and extremely disrespectful," she recalls. Kruska turned to the Oklahoma Education Association for help. Bonnie Hammock, an instructional advocacy specialist for OEA, prescribed True Colors, a workshop that could help Kruska understand her students' unique personality traits and how they affected others. True Colors provides educators, parents, and students with a common language for interpreting and discussing behavior. That common language takes the form of identifying personality types in terms of colors: blue, green, orange, and goldalthough no one is just one color, Hammock notes. Greens tend to be the thinkers cool and removed, analytical and logical. They thrive on concepts and knowledge and are irritated with drills and routines.
