You'd Like Teaching, Emil E. Samuelson, Harold Barto, Connie King, Ernest L. Muzzall, Reino Randall, Mary Simpson, Loron Sparks, Sarah Spurgeon

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

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 …

Standards Of Elementary School Service, Robert E. Mcconnell

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

The time has come when every elementary-school teacher should be a college graduate. This could be accomplished immediately following the war if each state should require a college education as a prerequisite to the certification of newly trained teachers. When the standards for the education of teachers and for initial certification are raised to this level, the standards of school service will automatically reach an appropriate level. It is hoped that the public (parents) will soon rise up and demand this degree of professional respectability of the teachers of their children.

Vocabulary Study As A Means Of Increasing Speed And Comprehension In Reading, Florence Hunnicutt

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

There is a need for a clearer understanding of the methods by which vocabularies can be enlarged most effectively. Results of experiments indicate that pupils are unable to recognize their own deficiencies and needs in respect to the meanings of words; consequently they need some type of guidance in enlarging their meaning vocabularies. Teachers are agreed that word lists are a non-effective device. They are agreed, too, that not one or a few techniques are being used to teach the meanings of new words, but many techniques. The two most effective seem to be (1) relating the word to former …

Six Books On Child Development, Robert E. Mcconnell

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

In the education of teachers for the elementary schools, it is important that they be tutored in the field of child-development as well as in subjects that give them a knowledge of life such as art, science, social science, mathematics, language and literature. The first deals with the learner and the second with those phases of life to be learned. Many young teachers report that in their early endeavors at teaching they have greater concern over the dealing with the child than in the branches of knowledge. The understanding of the child is the important consideration in many of their …

The County Supervisor And The Beginning Teacher, May L. Wood

Bachelors’ Theses

Rural schools are unmistakably a real and integral part of our national system of education. Our educators have long been directing their best efforts towards improving methods of education, attitudes and standards. But unfortunately, our rural schools have not been able to partake sufficiently of all the good to be derived from these studies. Non-scholastic influences are operating against their best efficiency. An analysis of these non-scholastic influences is the purpose of this thesis.

This is not to be considered in any manner an arraignment of the rural schools as such. Rather, it is because of an appreciation of the …
