being a “ memorable and satisfying
high p o in t” in his career, but he
grows excited now over the new posi
tion he has been awarded. In his o f
fices at the Education Service Center
on N. Dixon Street, Dr. Gerald speaks
o f his new position as Adm inistrator
fo r the Early C hildhood Units. The
position, he says, was created to pull
together the three schools o f Area I:
E lio t, H um boldt and Boise, and the
five schools o f Area II : Irv in g to n ,
Sabin, King, Vernon and Woodlawn,
into one cluster.
" I see this as a jo in t effort between
m yself and the eight p rin c ip a ls ,”
says Gerald. “ A consensus view o f
ours w ill be the criteria by which we
judge our progress.
"W e start with the unique features
each o f these schools already has,
such as a program for four-year-olds,
or a fu ll day fo r a kindergarten or
other programs fo r grades 1-5 that
other schools do not have. We plan
to supply a d d itio n a l fie ld t r i’ps fo r

ponent (we expect it to be Spanish,
and learning maps.

The h e lp fu l circum stance here,
Gerald pointed out, is that "W e have
the additional resources necessary to
enhance these program s. We have
the necessary staff supports, a curric
ulum coordinator and a basic skills
co o rd in a to r. The d is tric t has sent
through a mandate (for us) that other
schools do not need to fo llo w .”
Dr. Gerald expects to pull together
the best in the eight programs and to
offer them as a model to the others,
he said. “ We feel that i f these are
recognizable as ‘ g o o d ’ things, we
have a ‘best’ model.
“ These particular schools are the
magnet schools w hich w ill attra ct
pupils from other schools — in this
way there w ill be created a way to
produce a better ra cia l balance.
Parents are already involved in a tu
torial program called H O ST.”
Dr. Gerald has been a school ad
m inistrator fo r 14 years in Portland
and had seven years as an adminis
trator in Prairie View, Texas, prior
to coming to this city. He holds ad
vanced degrees fro m P ra irie View
College and the University o f Texas.
His doctoral degree was earned from
Nova University in Fort Lauderdale,
Fla.
D r. Gerald is active in the com
munity. He is president o f the Albina
Rotary Club. He is a past-chairman
and is, currently, vice-chairman of
the Teachers Standards and Practices
Commission whose duties are assess
ing certification fo r all teachers and
administrators in the state o f Oregon.
He is also the im m ediate past-
president o f the Oregon Alliance o f
Black School Educators. Dr. Gerald
and his wife, Gwen, have a combined
fa m ily o f seven children ranging in
age from 26 to 15 years.
