The Teacher Training Program The reorganization of the Tahlequah Public Schools in 1952 into three separate and distinct ad- ministrative units Qelementary, junior high, and senior high schools, led to an agreement between the Board of Education and the Board of .Regents for North- eastern State College that the public schools may serve as a laboratory for the training of student teach- ers. The college tries to give each prospective teacher a good general background of culture and information, plus a knowledge of educational theory, before he be- gins his student teaching, but an understanding of children and the intelligence necessary to guide them in their development cannot be acquired vicariously. To know children, one must work and play with them. Since the pupils in the public schools have much greater opportunity for supervision 'and guidance which the teacher training program affords, it is be- lieved that the quality of instruction in the public schools is materially improved. Approximately one hundred fifty college stu- dents did student teaching in the public schools of Tahlequah this year. C , 54718: Iffldltc,-J on Evidence of ability to fulfill successfully the student teaching assignment serves as the most significant measure of a student's fitness to receive a certificate to teach. It is agreed that student teaching should be so organized as to protect the best interests of the pupils to be taught. The pupil-not the teacher-is the cen- ter of the school program. Consequently, all student teaching is done under close supervision by the reg- ularly employed senior teacher. Each student is required to observe, assist, or teach a period equivalent to one-half day each school day for one semester to meet state certification re- quirements. These assignments are made in his major and minor fields of study during his senior year of college education. lgbn Willis with bis Fourth Gfdde wood working class l r 'yd r vi, al 137' l cafeterzh du ty ea ,.- H I xv- , M -ug '
