University Daily Kansan, February 12. 1985 Page 6 CAMPUS AND AREA Education students go to head of class By ANN PETERSON Staff Reporter Two students sat in the back of the classroom, anxiously waiting for their teaching skills to be put to a test - by a room, full of first-graders Suddenly, crowds of children carrying colored papers were upon them, asking Linda Frank, Clayton, Mo., junior, and Shelly Feller, Lawrence junior, to check the documents they had completed in class. Grading papers, answering questions and being a friend were a few of the responsibilities these education students said they faced Thursday while teaching at the New York Elementary School, 96 New York St. "We are still working with the teacher, so it's a good trial-and-error period." Frank said last week. "You don't okay because you're still learning." LAST WEEK, MORE than 70 education students went to elementary, junior high and high schools in Lawrence and Eudora to observe classes and assist teachers as part of Curriculum and Instruction 410, which is titled Instruction and Curriculum II. "To learn to teach, you have to get into a classroom and teach," Frank said. "There's no other way. In the next couple of years, I will hopefully have enough experience behind me to walk into a classroom by myself." The education students' usually visit area classrooms once a week for two hours in the morning, said Evelyn Swartz, professor of curriculum and instruction. The course includes lessons such as controlling a classroom, conducting lessons and keeping students' attention. Curriculum and Instruction 410 usually is taken by juniors. It is their first experience in student teaching, Swartz said. Connie Rhodes, first-grade teacher at New York Elementary School, said Fuller and Frank would conduct individual and small-group instruction with the children. IN THEIR NEXT two years in the School of Education's extended program, which usually lasts five years, students will teach with less teacher assistance than they receive in Curriculum and Instruction 410, Swartz said. "I try to show the students what to do and then let them grade the student's work," Rhodes said. "Linda and Shelly are doing such a good job, I might just sit back and let them take over some day." Fuller said her job was to help with the reading groups at the school and to observe how Rhodes taught. Swartz said Curriculum and Instruction 410 had received national recognition and was a key factor in students to the School of Education. In preparing students to go into a classroom, Swartz said she had them practice by teaching lessons to each other. Students prepare English, math, and science lessons for students in different grades and then act them out in class. Lawrence High School, West Junior High School and Pinckney Elementary School are other schools in the region that teach this semester, Swartz said. The goal of the extended education program is to give students better teaching skills than a four-year program would, Swartz said. The course is important in accomplishing this goal, she said.

Students to air views on insurance 27 Colloquium: Students will have a chance to voice their opinions on student health insurance for the 1985-86 school year at a Student Health Advisory Board open forum tomorrow. By GREG LARSON Staff Reporter Jef Gleason, student chairman of the board, said that making maternity coverage an option and offering a two-year insurance plan were two possible changes. The program also has the rate for students while providing the best coverage for the cost. The board, a committee of the Student Senate, determines student insurance coverage and costs of attending Watkins Hospital administrators. The forum is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. in the International Room of Kansas Union. JAMES STROBL, DIRECTOR of Watkins Hospital, said the forum would allow students to "It gives students a chance to tell us whether the policy needs to be less or less extensive or whether rates need to be lowered." he said. Students can buy the insurance if they do not have coverage under any other health policy. This year's Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas policy staggers rates over four student groups. The single student rate costs $35.62 monthly compared to a rate of $48.72 monthly. The student-spouse rate is $84.22 monthly and the student-children rate is $81.43 a month. into effect at the start of the 1985-86 school year. Gleason said undergraduates carrying seven credit hours, graduate students carrying three hours and doctoral candidates seeking degrees were eligible to buy the policy. GLEASON SAID, "BIDS are sent out to about 27 different insurance companies and the board picks out the best policy. Student Senate can approve it or disapprove it." In the weeks after the forum, Gleason said, the board will review student suggestions for the program and select the best coverage. Each year the Student Health Advisory Board, formed in the late 1960s, develops the student insurance policy. Strobl said the board spent 250 to 300 hours in the spring semester grinding out the policy's fine print. In addition to determining insurance coverage, the board tries to acquaint the students with student health service. Strobl said the survey would be run exclusively by the board and would not be handled by the hospital. Gleason said, "The goal for this year is developing a questionnaire for students to voice opinions on services are meeting their needs." If approved, the policy would go MASS.
