Both un- dergraduate and graduate programs are offered in educational media and teaching of the gifted. The department’s Reading Clinic prepares undergraduate students to teach remedial reading and at the same time, provides assistance to children in the community who have experienced difficulty in learning how to read. The UNI Day Care Center, sponsored by the department, is a licensed facility for 50 preschool-age children, many of whom are the children of UNI students. In addition to providing a valuable service for parents, the center is also a field experience site where students majoring in early child- hood education can observe and participate.

College Of Education The College of Education offers professional education for students preparing to teach in elementary and secondary schools. Graduate work at the masters and specialist degree levels is available in several areas. Having just undergone a program review by the State De- partment of Public Instruction in 1981, the college is begin- ning to prepare for a 1983 visit by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education. Hopefully a proposal for a Doctorate in Education will be approved in April. Contained within the college arc the departments of curricu- lum and instruction, educational psychology and foundations, library science, health physical education and recreation, school administration and personnel services, special educa- tion. and teaching.

Experience For Teachers Most students in teacher education need a variety of experience for teach- ing in public schools. One important feature of the UNI Educational Psy- chology Teaching Program is that it of- fers participants the opportunity for field experience outside the university. Practicums and internships are as- signed to area education agencies, whereby students practice their school psychology training. Instruction on a one-to-one basis with youngsters and minority children is available. Masters degree courses arc now provided at out- reach centers in Carroll, Charles City, Mason City, Council Bluffs, and the Quad Cities. Work continues with community agencies to develop seminars, work- shops, and degree programs. This in- cludes such local human service agen- cies as those affiliated with United Way of Black Hawk County and Peoples Community Health Clinic. Public school teacher inscrvicc workshops are held with Area Education Agencies. A non-school setting general educa- tion psychology prepares graduates for staff positions with community, city, or government agencies. Front Row: Ralph Scott. Beverly Taylor.
