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.
