New programs added to College of Education Several changes and new programs occurred in the education college. Students participated as teacher aids in the public schools. The Morgan County Program enabled students to tutor Appalachian School Children. New audio-visual equipment al- lowed students and instructors to see mistakes before actual classroom experience. Student teaching proved to be the most demanding and most practical of all field experiences. The student teacher was re- quired to spend a quarter in the public schools and gradually assumed responsibility for classes. This prepared teachers for future job placement. A summer program of studying students in Colorado will include a study of their values and their psychological affect upon the students. Studies of the open school also added a variety of options available to the future teacher. CENTER LEFT: Belinda Lowe, a student teacher, answers a student's question about his work.
