MRS. MARION BOYD, visiting teacher, listens to one of us. THE VISITIHG TEACHER The visiting teacher is the social worker in the school. She is interested in the child, first, as an individual who spends part of his lime in his home and in the neighborhood; and, second, as a student in the class room. Her interest in the high school student is to help further his all-around growth toward a happy and effective citizenship. She is interested in his adjustment in his home and in his community. She employs every way in and out of school to supplement and improve her means in giving the individual attention lie requires. For the welfare of the student she brings into co-operation all the agencies and measures which her knowledge of the situation dictates are essential. On the basis of her interpretation of the situation as she finds it after careful study and examination of all the known facts, she gives helpful suggestions to parents and school; and establishes a relationship with the student which makes possible his acceptance of new standards of behavior. This helps to give him new respect for himself. In treatment, the visiting teacher, in order to further the all-round growth of the child, utilizes medical resources to insure that adequate health care is given; facilitates proper school placement through consultation with the psychologist, principal, and others; and arranges for treatment by a psychiatrist if this is needed. Through her own interviews with the student and his parents, she seeks to modify attitudes in order that conditions may be most favorable for the growth of the child. She is the intermediary between the home and the school. As a social case worker, she supplements school personnel and offers another point of view on problems of the individual. She often acts as co-ordinator, unifying the work of the school. Poor attendance, failure to work up to capacity. personality adjustments, difficulty in behavior and habit-formation are symptomatic of the fact that something is going wrong in the life of the individual child. Frequently the students themselves come for help. Sometimes they are referred by classroom teachers, principals, other school personnel, parents, and workers from social agencies. The work of the visiting teacher is a great help to the students and we appreciate the many things that our visiting teacher. Mrs. Boyd, docs for us. 12
