Nat. Teacher Exam To Be Required Bryant, Streeter
All students who wish to re
ceive a teacher’s certificate musft
take the National Teacher
Examination on Saturday, April
9 in room 102 (the auditorium)
of the Education Building.
The common examination will
start at 9:30 A.M. and last until
12:30 P.M. This examination,
will cover sections on the Foun
dation of Education, Child De
velopment, Methods of Instruc
tion, English Usage, and two
sections from General Educa-,
tion, which consist of Social
Studies, Literature, Fine Arts,
Scienct :ind Mathematics.
The optional examination will
start at 1:45 P.M. It will include
the student’s major field.
According to Dr. Rose Butler
Browne, the 1959 General As
sembly passed Resolution 73
(a joint resolution) directing the'
State Board of Education to’
study teacher evaluation, ratingi
and certification. The resolution
proposed that a commission be
appointed for determining the
quality of academic preparation
of teachers.
Dr. Browne said that “Tha
students should realize that this
is the law and that every appli
cant applying for a ce^tificatior^
as a teacher, supervisor, superin
tendent or other professionali
status must take the National
Teacher Examination.”
Because the state is giving tha
examination on a trial basis thia
year, each ^udent will receive a
certificate if he fails or passes.
Next year, students will be re
quired to pass in order to re
ceive a certificate. The state will
pay the cost of the 1960 exami-
nation, which is about $8.00 per
student.
North Carolina College is only
one of the 18 centers in the state
that are permitted to administer
