elementary and secondary teacher candidates. Beyond this the courses are more specific to the students' chosen teaching levels. An outline summary of the requirements for graduation and certification for either elementary or secondary school teachers may be obtained from the Division on request. Elementary School Teachers The student preparing to teach in the elementary schools, kindergarten through grade six, will major in elementary education and will graduate from the Division. His advisor will be a member of the Division staff, and it is to the student's advantage that he begin planning his program early in the Freshman year. The major in elementary education consists of a minimum of 45 credit hours in professional courses. These may be begun late in the sophomore year, and it is recommended that they be taken in the following sequence: Education 111, 101, 103, 121, 134, 161, 136-137, 135, 112, 102. The academic field of concentration consisting of 40 credit hours, or the two lesser fields of concentration of 20 credit hours each, should be selected early in the student's program. The student may obtain a guide to selecting courses for the fields of concentration, from the Division. Both lower and upper division courses may be used in completing these fields. The fields from which the elementary teacher candidate may select to complete his 40 credit hour or 20 credit hour concentrations are as follows: English Speech & Drama History French Botany Political Science German Zoology Psychology Spanish Chemistry Sociology Art Mathematics Physical Education Music Physics *Child Development *Geography *Library Science (*Only 20 credit-hour concentrations provided) Student Teaching (Education 137) is taken in selected public elementary school classrooms under the direction of the classroom teachers and the college supervisor. This experience is on a full-day basis for a complete quarter. Assignments are made with consideration for the students' backgrounds, grade preferences, living accommodations, and the needs and wishes of personnel in the cooperating schools. In general, the student takes this course in the fall or winter quarter of the Senior year. However, advanced students who have completed the pre- 90 requisites, will be permitted to do their student teaching the last quarter of the Junior year. Education 111, 101, 103, 121, 134, and 161 are prerequisites to student teaching. Secondary School Teachers The student preparing to teach in either the junior or senior high schools will spend considerable time in both professional courses and academic specialization. He may choose, therefore, whether he will graduate in the Division of Education or in the division which provides his academic major. To graduate in Education he will need to complete at least six credit hours of work in professional education beyond the 33 hours required for certification. The student's advisor will be a staff member in the field of the student's academic (teaching) major. Also, he should receive help as needed from a staff member in his academic (teaching) minor. In meeting the requirements of the Education Division and for teacher certification, the student should consult with one of the professors of secondary education. It is recommended that the student complete the 33 credit hours required for certification, in the following sequence: Education 111, 101, 104, 146, 157-161, 112, 102. An academic teaching major of at least 40 credit hours and an academic teaching minor of not less than 20 credit hours, in subjects that are taught in the high schools, must be completed by each secondary teacher candidate. These major and minor requirements are described in the catalog under the departments offering them. In certain subject areas the student may complete a composite teaching major. This consists of not less than sixty credit hours, with 24, 18, and 18 in each of three fields of an area, i.e. botany, zoology, and bacteriology.
