So You Want To Be An Outstanding Teacher!, Barton Philipps
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Great teachers are great because of the long vacations, short working day, easy work (if you call it work), and good pay. WHAT? Who said that? Truly GREAT teachers rarely take a vacation and work overtime without pay, to guide the students in learning situations. And as for the pay, the garbage collectors in many areas make more than the teachers.

One of the current fads spreading through the schools of Iowa is the attention being given to mysticism. The science teacher can do a great deal to give the youth of our schools the proper attitude to deal with the technics of the occult. One of the sessions of the Science Teaching Section of the spring meeting of the Iowa Academy will be related to dealing with the problems of the occult.

A New Approach To The Training Of Chemistry / Physics Teachers, Kenneth E. Borst
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
In 1950, during my first week as a junior high school science teacher, it became apparent to me that my training to become such a teacher was almost a complete waste of time. I have also observed that there has been very little effort on the part of colleges to change the situation.

New Istj Format, Robert E. Yeager
New Istj Format, Robert E. Yeager
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
The financial problems of the Iowa Academy of Science caused the Board of Directors to approve a budget for 1972-73 which decreased the support for the Iowa Science Teachers' Journal by nearly two-thirds. As a result of this austerity program it was necessary to alter the format, size and printing for Volume 9, No. 4 of the Journal. Several alternatives were considered before the ISTJ editorial board recommended a new format to the IAS Publication Committee. This issue represents the recommended and approved format which will characterize the next three issues of Volume 10 as well.

Given: The Chance, Claire Marie Patik
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
This paper presents some practical suggestions for motivating the "educationally uninvolved" student on the one hand, and challenging the intellectually gifted student on the other. Teacher-planned, but student-oriented and directed, three courses geared to the pace of the individual student, are described. The net result of two of these courses as approached the past two years, is a reason- able degree of success leading to a strong acceptance on the part of the author of the basic philosophy of "Schools Without Failure.“ The third is a new plan to be introduced in the author's school in the fall of 1971.
