The College of Education involves not only its own majors, but also students from the Colleges of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Business and Fine Arts. Offering training in most areas of high school and ele- mentary education, the college graduated 36 elementary and 96 secondary education majors in 1978. Of those desiring teaching positions, 85% were placed in jobs. Concepts of Education and Human Growth and Develop- ment are required courses for both elementary and secondary education majors. Students go into community schools to work with children and gain practical teaching experience. Through the College of Edu- cation, Special Education and Reading Enrichment programs assist 500 to 600 children from the surrounding community. Principals from Indianapolis schools are contacted to recom- mend who need help or enrich- ment and, in this way, Butler students with an opportunity for teaching experience. The elementary education major receives training in reading, language arts and methods. All education majors spend one semester of their senior year teaching in area schools.
