Education Plan To Give More Kansas Teachers
University High school will be discontinued at the end of the current school year and the teaching and service functions of the School of Education will be housed in Bailey Chemical laboratories after the new science building is completed.
The above announcement was made by Chancellor Deane W. Malott after final plans were made for the School of Education. The new program is the result of the rapid growth and changing needs of education training.
"Perhaps never in its 41 years has the School of Education taken such a courageous and far-reaching analysis to seek the most effective means of serving the public schools of Kansas," Chancellor Malott said.
The new program has five major points. Each has the dual aim of expanded service to the public schools and teachers of the state. The five divisions of the program are as follows:
1. Offering of a new graduate degree known as Specialist in Education. This degree will be based on six years of University work, including one year of approved study past the masters degree.
2. Bailey Chemical laboratories will be the new home of the School of Education after completion of the new two million-dollar science building. Teaching and educational services now scattered in seven buildings will be concentrated in one great educational center.
3. Reorganization of the duties of the school's "teaching methods" service by advising service can be more readily available in the public schools.
4. Revision of the undergraduate majors and minors in many subject areas of teaching. This revision involves a more realistic grouping of subjects to care for public school needs, and to meet the changing requirements of the state department of education.
5. A permanent program of teacher training in the public school systems of this area. This change comes after a two-year trial of off-campus practice teaching that has received acceptance from faculty, students, and public school administrators. This change makes obsolete and unnecessary the operation of University High school on the campus, which will be discontinued.
George B. Smith, dean of the School of Education, said at least three specialists in "teaching methods" would be added.
