HAROLD L. HODGKINSON, Director of the School of Education School of Education The Simmons School of Education endows the student with the ability to trans- mit facts and ideas intelligently and imaginatively. The School offers programs in the fields of English. Language, History and Social Studies, Science and Mathe- matics. The courses give the student a mastery of the subject matter along with the tools and methods from which to build a proficiency in teaching. An important part of the Education curriculum is practice teaching, an experi- ence which gives the opportunity to test and develop theories learned in the classroom. In the education courses, answers are never given, but problems are always posed. The goal of this School is not to give the student one specilic philosophy of education. Rather, it gives her the background and the intellectual curiosity from which to build her own philosophy and test her own ideas. 28
