The purpose of Teacher Corps is to strengthen the educational opportunities available to children in areas having concentrations of low-income families and "to encourage colleges and universities to broaden their programs of teacher preparation and to attract and train teachers who will be made available to local educational agencies." The interns are students who have committed themselves to careers in teaching children in low-income areas. DEPARTMENT OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION J. Burdett Johnson, Chairman Students preparing to teach in the elementary schools, kindergarten through grade six, major in elementary education and will graduate from the School of Education. Elementary school teachers' certificates are also valid in Utah junior high schools provided the individual has a major and a minor or composite major in subjects taught on the junior high school level. An adviser from the Department of Elementary Education will be assigned each prospective teacher. It is to the student's advantage that he begin planning his program early in the freshman year. In addition to the general college requirements, each candidate for a baccalaureate degree in elementary education must complete 43 credit hours in professional course work. These courses commence late in the sophomore year, and it is recommended that they be taken in the following sequence: Education 195, 300, 324, 325, 326, 360, 488 and 498. Each elementary education major will also be expected to select an area of subject matter concentration during his sophomore year. This requirement can be satisfied by completing 40 credit hours in one academic area, or two lesser areas of concentration of 20 hours each. A student selecting a 40 hour concentration should follow the catalog requirements for an academic major. Those selecting the 20 hours concentrations should consult their adviser in elementary education. 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: Speech and Theatre Arts Spanish English Art French Music German Psychology Botany Sociology Zoology Physical Education Chemistry *Child Development Mathematics ^Reading Physics "Instructional Media History * Geography Political Science *Only 20 credit-hour concentrations. 94 Education Teacher Education DEPARTMENT OF SECONDARY EDUCATION Harley K.
