To Teach, practice on us The program is directed by a resident student teach- ing coordinator, who has full faculty rank and status. In the Birmingham area, Miss Marjorie-Tate handles this diflicult but rewarding job. Living in the commun- ity, she is well acquainted with the administration and teaching staff of all the area schools and is able to far more effectively assign students to the cooperating teachers. Schools taking part in this program are making a great contribution to teacher education in the state. Without this cooperation, it is doubtful that teachers could be trained in sufficient numbers to meet the demand of the ever increasing number of pupils. Three times a year, Seaholm gets new student teachers and it is always glad to welcome them. Every- one benefits from this program, the students, the teachers, and especially those who are being trained as teachers. By working in actual classrooms, being responsible for planning and executing lesson instruc- tion, the student teachers are finding out, by living the life of a teacher, just what the job of a teacher is. Standing before a class for the the first time can be a frightening experience, but Gertrude Witzky seems not at all dismayed by it. Listening attentively are German students Katy Weinrich, Ron Mikal, Cindy Starrett, Don Wehe, and Linda Schoenrock.
