N Preteaching can be done in one of two patterns. The concurrent pat- tern, done simultaneously with classes, makes it easier for students to watch the development of the children. In the break pattern, students observe during university breaks; semester break, spring break, or immediately following dismissal of university classes in May. The student receives credit when university classes are not in session. The break pattern helps them to see the events of a whole day in the classroom, Grissom said. iIEach one is unique because of where they are in the school yearfi Grissom said. uBoth have advan- tagesfi Martin said the Universityls pur- pose in establishing the class long ago was the same as the Boards pur- pose in creating the requirement.
