Report of Special Committee on Guidance Curriculum

Statements pertaining to guidance in the program of the University
of Kansas School of Education, as recommended by this Committee for
Adoption:

1. Educational guidance, broadly considered, means providing
appropriate assistance to students or others to enable them to
realize their capabilities to the fullest extent attainable. In this
sense it is inclusive of academic, vocational, social, recreational,
Civic and emotional guidance as these terms are commonly employed.

It is an inclusive and demanding type of service. Such a position as
counsellor or director of guidance in schools will usually demand the
Special fitness evidenced by adequate and appropriate knowledge,
personality, teaching experience, and social maturity, by vigorous
health, and by graduate study equivalent to at least a master's degree.
There is implied here no conflict with the fact that all teachers

will find definite advantage in an uncerstanding of and a familiarity

with those aspects of guidance which pertain to their instructional
service,

e» Certain exigencies in the present Situation make desirable

the adoption by this School of Education of a four-year undergraduate

curriculum in guidance to be offered to students who may desire it.

Such students, it appears, must <lso be prepared to teach in one or more

of the usual curricular subjeets in the program of the public schools,

3. The four-year curriculum in guidance, as here outlined, is

recommended for the approvel of the faculty of this School of Education.
