Junior High School Supervisors STUDENT TEACHERS Who are the student teachers? They are the college students in the secondary, music and homemaking departments who have entered the last stretch of their college training before graduation. A student teach- er participates and teaches either in his major or minor field. At first they participate and observe while their supervisor demonstrates how it ' s done. Later the student teacher takes over and teaches the class on his own. Their supervisor offers suggestions and constructive criti- cism. The basic principle of this program is the slogan, Learning by Doing . It seeks to iron out any problems or difficulties that may confront the budding teacher. Thus he leaves the college confident that teaching is really what he wants to do. JESSIE I. GRIGSBY Principal Junior High JUNIOR HIGH SUPERVISORS Mr. Higley. Miss Murphey, Miss O ' Brien, Mr. A!g:er.
