Teachers in both elementary and second- ary levels have a Student-Teaching or Apprenticeship period of time in a school system within a reasonable distance from the campus. Student-Teaching has been for a period of nine weeks, but plans are being formulated for a more extended period, most probably a full public school semester. During this period, however, students will be taking related courses certain afternoons and evenings that will complement the learning opportunities provided in the Apprenticeship. Extracurricularly, the Department of Education held a program for high school students interested in becoming teachers. Also held was a dinner, sponsored by the Student Educational Association, honoring those Seniors certifying to teach. 85
