EDUCATION CLASS BRINGS rliis sumnu-r, there were thirt -three ver xoung students on campus. The children, ranging in ages from six to t elve. and coming from as far away as La Mesa, were participating in the educa- tion class. Teaching Problems. The class was for both teachers and those w ho were currently work- ing on their teaching credentials, and was broken into two sessions of three and one-half weeks each. Since there were only eighteen students enrolled in the first session and twelve in the second, the ratio in the class was approximately two children to one teacher, thus benefiting both pupils and teach- ers. Another plus factor in the class was the fact that each child was paced according to his or her abilities and interests. Each one was also personally supervised by the same student throughout the program in order that a specialized curriculum could be followed to fit the reading problem that each particular child had. To allow the teachers involved time for orientation and evaluation fol- lowing the classes, the children were onl here six of the seven-week program. Meeting every day from 8:80 to 1 1 a.m., the first hour and 15 minutes of the day was set aside for language arts and special reading problems, with the remaining time given to art and word games. In addition to practice in reading, the children also gained a chance to participate in the micro-filming program on campus that will hi ' usetl in the stu- dent teacher program. Pulling a jig-saw puzzle to- gtlher ot the Inited States lielped student teachers to leach geograph Id reading students.
