Education — Teacher Education Education — Teacher Education in a class attendance requirement for the bulk of the work in teacher education, but are rather permitted to proceed at their own rate through the use of instructional units called WILKITs (Weber Individualized Learning Kits). Each WILKIT outlines the expectations for student performance in a given content area. It then suggests learning experiences which the student may pursue in order to achieve these expectations, and concludes by enumerating what the student will be required to do to prove that he has accomplished the expectations. The program is oriented toward a student's ability to perform rather than his ability to remember. Both the elementary and secondary programs are divided into course blocks which consist of varying numbers of WILKITs. Under the IPT Program students are encouraged to register for one block at a time, but substantial flexibility is allowed. In the event a student is unable to complete a course block within a given quarter, a grade of "no credit" (NC) is reported for that course. There is no penalty attached to a grade of NC, and it is not computed in the grade point average; however, it is necessary to register for the course in a subsequent quarter in order to receive credit. When it is necessary to reregister for a course under IPT, the student begins exactly at the point he had reached in his previous registration. It is not necessary to start over from the beginning. In the event a student completes a course block in mid-quarter, in most cases he has the option of beginning immediately on the next course block in his program. All grading under the IPT program is on a credit, no credit basis. The faculty of the School of Education believes that the IPT program represents a very significant innovation in teacher education. Since it is a departure from familiar practice in higher education, it is suggested that students contact a faculty advisor for additional information before beginning their studies in teacher education. Internship Program exists for the student in elementary or secondary education. The basic philosophy of the Elementary- Teaching Intern Program (E-TIP) and Secondary-Teaching Intern Program (S-TIP) is to provide interns with sound and effective supervisory assistance throughout their first year of teaching, to further increase the depth and breadth of their experience with pupils and the school curriculum, to offer more support in coping with the problems faced by the first year teacher, and to make for deeper insight into the attitudes and activities required of a professional teacher. Students interested in becoming candidates for the intern program must obtain application forms from the student teaching office and submit them by December 1st preceding the year of internship. Interns will be contractual employees of a local school district and will be compensated by the district. Further details of the program are available through the department chairmen or the student teaching office. Dual Certification is a possibility for a student who desires to earn both the elementary and secondary teacher certificates. Ordinarily this requires two or more quarters of work in addition to that required for the single certificate. An outline of the requirements for dual certification may be obtained from the School of Education Office. Persons interested in the dual certification should plan either with the chairman of elementary education or the chairman of secondary education. Graduate students who desire to earn the teacher certificate will need to meet the following requirements: clearance by the chairman of the Elementary or Secondary Education Department, completion of the regular teacher education admission procedures and for secondary education candidates, clearance with the department chairman responsible for their major and minor teaching subjects. Courses of Instruction Courses required for certification will be offered each quarter of the regular school year and in the evening school and summer school as the need dictates. Other courses listed will be offered as the need arises, either in day school, evening school, or summer school. 195.
