Show MILTON BENNION Dean of the School of EducationcYke School of EducationT N RECOGNITION of the well established principle of education that the individual student should be the chief object of study and attention, the School of Education is endeavoring to cooperate to the fullest extent with the University Bureau of Student Counsel, the purpose of which is to make thorough study of individuals and to counsel them as to their vocational choices, their personal, mental, and physical health problems, and any other matters concerning which the student may seek or need guidance.Closely allied to this policy is that of encouraging students of superior ability to make thorough preparation for teaching as a life work, with the proviso, that young women may reserve the right to change this life purpose. The counterpart of thispolicy is the effort to eliminate from the teacher-training courses all students of inferior ability, indisposition to study, instability of character, or other defects that may interfere with success in teaching.In line with the policy of the President of the University, the School of Education has organized a Classroom Methods Study Group. This group has undertaken systematic study of teaching methods and classroom management in college courses, but with special reference to the departments participating. A Teachers' Stimulus Card is being worked out whereby each teacher may check his own work with respect to teaching standards. Arrangements are also being made for conducting some experiments in college classroom methods and procedures.Milton BennionPage 23 |
