EDUCATION DEPARTMENT = § The Education Department welcomed Mrs. Joyce Rucker as a new member of the faculty. She is completing work toward her doctorate in the field of Early Childhood Education and Special Education. The Department began offering for the first time a state-required course in “Educating Exceptional Children in the Classroom.” This requirement will strengthen our preparation for teachers who will be confronted with exceptional children in their regular classrooms. The department sponsored a workshop during the Winter Quarter involving recent graduates from the teacher education program. All areas were represented and valuable contributions were made by the participants for strengthening teacher educa- tion.
