The Role of Psychology Departments in Supporting Secondary School Teachers of Psychology

Providing continuing education for secondary school teachers may be more important to the improvement of high school psychology than are changes in teacher preparation and certification. The special role that college and university departments of psychology can play in providing this education and supporting these teachers is illustrated in a brief history of one department's work with teachers in North Carolina.

Why American Marine Stations?:The Teaching Argument

SYNOPSIS: Traditionally, historians have stressed the influence of European laboratories on the development of American marine stations. While there is some justification for this interpretation, more attention must be directed at the original teaching imperative for marine studies. Several marine stations emerged in the 1870s with no direct influence from Europe and with a complete commitment to the education of secondary school teachers. Later in the century and early in the twentieth century this same pattern was repeated at several locations on both the east coast and the west coast. All of these institutions were designed to present a new pedagogical approach for biology in the United States. Originally as adjuncts to natural history museums and societies and then as important innovations to teach laboratory methods in American colleges and universities, marine biology stations developed research options only secondary to their primary educational orientation.

Computing education for secondary school teachers

The proposed program will establish a Computer Education Institute for computing, mathematics, and science teachers and supervisors in grade 7 to 12. The goals of the program are to: (1) provide teachers with a knowledge of programming in BASIC, and conceptual foundations of computer programming, (2) inform teachers of the variety of uses of computers in teaching science and mathematics, (3) provide an opportunity to observe and interact with youngsters as they learn to program, (4) establish a focus for teachers' future needs in computer education through contact with qualified scientists, and (5) develop and update teachers' knowledge about computers in society. The objectives will be accomplished through enrollment during a six-week summer session in a Structured Programming seminar and a Computer Education seminar. Intensive practice in a computer lab will develop programming skills. During the fall semester, four Guest Speaker Seminars will be held to provide nationally recognized experts as a resource. These meetings will also provide the program participants an opportunity to discuss their own implementation progress with the Institute staff.

Teacher certification

The need for computer education for secondary school teachers has become quite apparent over the past few years. Such education has been accomplished, for the most part, by in-service training, summer institutes or graduate programs.This paper recommends undergraduate teacher certification in computer science and gives the steps necessary for approval of a certification program for the state of Texas. In addition, coursework for a certification program is discussed.

A Basic Program for the Education of Negro Secondary-School Teachers in Alabama

The plan detailed herein is not to be considered as a standard program to be prosecuted in tato by all those institutions, in Alabama, which profess to educate teachers for the Negro colleges of that state. Rather, it is proposed to enunciate an underlying framework, essential to any program for the adequate education of secondary-school teachers in the Negro colleges of Alabama, or similar states. Such basic program, in turn, could be modified to accord with the purposes and facilities of an individual institution. In fine, it is desired that the proposed program give direction to the development of teacher-education curricula, in the various Negro colleges. Constantly, the entire program of teacher-education seeks to realize the democratic ideal in education. All activties included in the proposed curriculum, therefore, have been appraised for their contribution to a total program of democratic education. Moreover, such activities are expected not only to induce but also to result in shared cooperation, on the part of all members within the school group, based upon critical reflective thinking. To this end, embryonic teachers should be educated in terms of their own individual capacities, potentialities, and interests,1 while all

Implications of the Cooperative Study of Teacher Education for Libraries

IN T H I S paper I shall attempt briefly to outline the Cooperative Study of Teacher Education with a view to indicating what it hopes to do, to describe some of its activities, and to point out what seem to me to be the implications for libraries and librarians. The study is an undertaking initiated by the Commission on Teacher Education of the American Council on Education for the purpose of improving the education of elementary and secondary school teachers. It is national in scope in that it touches all sections of the United States and involves practically all types of collegiate institutions and school systems. On the assumption that the greatest good to the greatest number would result from intensive work with a limited number of collegiate institutions and school systems, the commission selected twenty colleges and fourteen school systems to serve as a spearhead in an attack on broad problems of teacher education. This selection was made in June 1939, and the study will continue to January 1943.
