No, it's not a student who regressed, but a professor who want- ed to refresh memories of high school teaching to im- prove his instruction of col- lege students who were preparing to be teachers. Ron Santora, an English professor at Sacramento State University, during his sabatical, returned to the halls of high school. Santora wanted to teach at the high school level in hopes of regaining an understanding of high school teaching tech- niques for his students at Sacramento State in the teaching credential pro- gram. I need to be able to relate to my students what reality out there in the teaching world is really like. They need to know about the real world of teaching, not the ivory tower of college, said Santora. He believed that it was necessary to be familiar with both the academic and social aspects of high school in order to be a successful teacher. I forgot how slowly every- thing moves here, and that's an important fact for future high school teachers to know. I was also surprised at the lack of motivation amongst high school students, which is another fact that needs to be brought to the attention of future teach- ers, said Santora. Teachers at DC believed that Santora's intentions benefited both students and teachers. It's impres- sive to find a college pro- fessor who really wants to understand what teaching high school is really like, and to find out for him- self, said Jim Jordan, English teacher. Although many college professors would never consider lowering them- selves to teach high school Santora found it enlight- ening. I accomplished what I wanted to learn. I've found that students learn in different Ways and that high school teachers have too many students to do any type of authentic teaching, said Santora. DC English teachers found Santora's efforts im- pressive. Many college professors become re- moved from the teaching world so Dr. Santora's ac- tions will hopefully en- lighten other teachers. He certainly is dedicated. He hasn't lost that quality, said Jo Ann Walter. Adding emphasis, Ron San- tora lectures his Freshman En- glish class on their latest writing assignment. .Person to person, Ron Santora takes time out during his lecture to answer John Palmer's ques- tion.
