Elementary Education
 

"True education does not ignore the value of scientific knowledge or literary acquirements; but, above information it values power; above power, goodness; above intellectual acquirements, character. The world does not so much need men of great intellect as of noble character. It needs men in whom ability is
controlled by steadfast principle." Education, page 225

 

The elementary segment of the Office of Education serves just over 200 elementary schools throughout the eight conferences, and works with personnel in the office of education at each conference.

 


The elementary staff deal with a variety of areas including:

. Curriculum – what should be taught,

. Instruction – teaching methods,

. Assessment – measurement and evaluation of student achievement,

. Resources – textbook, and other instructional materials
