ne ee em, Miss Litchen Mr. Allphin Miss Litchen Mr. Allphin Miss Litchen Mr. Allphin Miss Litchen Mr. Allphin sities and teachers colleges offering the 4+year course with phy~ — sical education as a major, consider the following points in train~ ing their practice teachers, and I made eight recommendations: 1. Require five to six hours credit for teacher certification of practice toacherse ne 2 Distribute teaching duties. 3. Each school should have a laboratory training school ranging from kindergarten to 12th grade, inclusive. 4. Use a definite toxtbook in connection with practice teaching. 5. Supervisor should observe practice teachers at least onee per daye 6, Practice teachers should submit lesson plans for each lesson. 7 Require practice teachers to observe other practice teachers at works 8.
