The College Elementary School provides many student teachers with an opportunity to apply psychology and education knowledge. Pat Henwood helps the children into their painting clothes.

Ask the student teacher who ventures into the public school systems to gain practical experience in teaching ele- mentary and secondary school children. The student teacher can apply the teaching background gained in the psychology and education classrooms. Lesson plans, visual aids, and methods of teaching are employed, hesitantly at first, and then with a growing feeling of confi- dence. Many learning processes are painful, and the learning of teaching puts the student teacher through a special type of distress. Lesson planning for the next day is always haunted by questions: how will the class react to the stimulus? . . . have I demonstrated properly? . . . ad infinitum. However, as proficiencies are gained and the student teacher evaluates abilities of the student and self, the job of student teaching becomes less an awesome task and more an introduction to a rewarding profession. Critics and studcnt teachers work together to insure good classroom procedures. w- w rm, i W twat? m
