The Fundamentals Of Speech Course In The Teacher Training School, Russell W. Lembke Feb 1938

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 Jan 1938

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 …

Speech Education For The Teacher In Training, Robert E. Mcconnell Dec 1935

Speech Education For The Teacher In Training, Robert E. Mcconnell

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

Speech education is an indispensable and important part of the program of both elementary education and secondary education. If anything, it has become more essential as time has passed, so far as I can determine. The telephone, the radio, the news reel, the talking picture, the public forum, the auditorium performance have increased the need for it.

Book Selection For A Teachers College Library, Robert E. Mcconnell Oct 1935

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.

Making A Teachers College Program Comprehensive, Robert E. Mcconnell

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 Sep 1931

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.
