Show DIVISION OF EDUCATION Caseel D. Burke, Chairman The major purpose of the Division is to prepare teachers for the elementary and secondary schools. The more specialized preparation for school librarians, teachers of the intellectually handicapped, remedial reading teachers, and audiovisual communications specialists is also provided. In the baccalaureate program the student can obtain the basic foundation for later preparation in educational administration, supervision, and counseling. The Division provides courses and services in the field of library science, designed to prepare librarians for school, industrial and public libraries. In the Evening School and Summer School, the Division attempts to meet the needs of those who are not able to attend the regular day school. All professional courses required for certification, except student teaching, are offered in these schools in any consecutive four-quarter period. Also a selection of professional courses is offered teachers-in-service who desire to renew their teaching certificates. The Division is responsible for planning and conducting the teacher education program in accord with the regulations of the State Department of Public Instruction, and for recommending graduates to that Department for certification as teachers. A campus-wide representative Council on Teacher Education assists in developing policies and procedures relating to teacher education, and serves as a coordinating body on all matters relating to the program. Further assistance in guiding the program is provided by an Advisory Committee on Teacher Education, composed of educators from the neighboring five school districts and members of the College faculty and administration.
