This book has two purposes; first, to give the facts about teaching; and second, to encourage high school students to consider teaching as a life work. It is, of course, an argument for teaching; however, it is not based on the assumption that all who read will promptly decide to become teachers. It frankly attempts to highlight the important personal qualities needed m teaching and to assist you to decide whether teaching is the right occupation for you. Here are the important fundamental questions: Is teaching interesting? What positions are open? Am I suited for teaching? How do I prepare …

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies
The new elementary school of the Central Washington College of Education, at Ellensburg, which was completed in September, 1939, is a foremost example of the new type of structure which is replacing the old and inadequate formal training school. It was designed to house a modern and functional elementary school and to be an integral part of a progressive teacher-education program. The curriculum is based upon contemporary life and individual student needs. It provides facilities for enabling teachers in training to secure the necessary experiences essential to the administration of the modern elementary school.
Rating Teachers To Help Them Grow, Emil E. Samuelson
Rating Teachers To Help Them Grow, Emil E. Samuelson
All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies
In 1936 there was considerable dissatisfaction with the rating scale being used in the supervision of student teaching at the Central Washington College of Education, and it was felt that a new scale was needed. Consequently, three faculty members, the primary supervisor, the supervisor of rural teaching, and the director of personnel and placement decided to make a detailed study and to construct a new rating scale. The Ellensburg scale, originally evolved for the rating of student teachers with emphasis on guiding their growth, should be equally helpful in the rating and guidance of teachers in service.

The Evaluation Of Teachers And Teaching, Emil E. Samuelson
All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies
The need for accurate evaluation of teachers and teaching is strongly indicated by various current situations. Among these is the oversupply of trained teachers and of candidates for admittance to teacher-training institutions. What candidates shall be selected for training? What teachers already trained shall be given preference in placement? And, finally, what criteria may be applied to determine professional advancement, Adequate evaluation of the type mentioned would help us to the answers of these questions.

Institutional Teacher Placement, Emil E. Samuelson
All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies
In the spring of 1938 the placement office of the Central Washington College of Education submitted a questionnaire to school superintendents in ninety communities in the state of Washington and asked their cooperation in filling it out. The purposes of the questionnaire were three : ( 1) to secure the reactions of school superintendents to placement practices and procedures now in vogue ; ( 2) to discover local conditions, individual preferences, community prejudices etc. which have a direct bearing on teacher placement; ( 3) to secure frank criticisms of placement service rendered and suggestions on the improvement of training-institution functions.

The Fundamentals Of Speech Course In The Teacher Training School, Russell W. Lembke
All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies
The hope for good speech lies in beginning with the kindergarten, and extending on through the other elementary levels. An integrated course of study has been worked out in this state by the Washington Speech Association with that goal in mind. The task of the teacher training school is to prepare all teachers for their part in that program, no matter in what grade, or subject, or activity they may be interested. Every teacher is a teacher of speech and should be so prepared. How can the fundamentals of speech course in the teacher training school supply that preparation in …
Teacher Training Appropriate For The Modern School, Robert E. Mcconnell
Teacher Training Appropriate For The Modern School, Robert E. Mcconnell
All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies
The schools, like society in which they operate, are in a state of flux. New courses have been added; various theories of psychology have been tried; methods have been changed; subject matter has been reorganized; and many administrative devices have been tried. Not all changes, however, have been in one direction and not all changes have been fundamental or deep-seated. Mere change in itself has no merit. Changes should be evaluated in terms of recognized fundamentals. The test of the value of change should be in terms of the product of the education. Uppermost in the minds of educators should …

Book Selection For A Teachers College Library, Robert E. Mcconnell
Book Selection For A Teachers College Library, Robert E. Mcconnell
All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies
The selection of books and the distribution of library funds are considerations which call for the continuous attention of the college administrator. This is especially so in the case of teachers colleges because they are of recent development and are limited as to funds. Both time and money are essential to the building up of a library of quality and quantity. As compared with the well established liberal arts college, teachers colleges are at a disadvantage in that the former existed fifty years before the latter.

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies
The purpose of the undergraduate teachers college is to educate young men and women for teaching in the elementary and secondary schools. Curriculum makers should arrange the courses of instruction and activities so that the student will be directed to do those things which he will be called upon to do in his profession and in his life after school. The curriculum of the teachers college is the fountainhead from which new ideas and materials for the public schools should flow. A heavy responsibility has been delegated to it.
Evaluating Student Teaching, Robert E. Mcconnell
Evaluating Student Teaching, Robert E. Mcconnell
All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies
Conditions vary relative to the effectiveness of directed student teaching in normal schools and teachers colleges. The activities range all the way from poorly guided observation on the one hand to careful demonstration and directed teaching on the other. But even in the latter cases there is still room for improvement in the guidance and evaluation of student teaching. This is due to several reasons, among which should be included the difficulty of analyzing personality, the lack of definite applications of educational psychology, and the almost total absence of objectivity in the measurement of teaching skill.
