535 Student Teachers Go Out
FromASTCTo54StateUnits
By LAftBY PENLEY
Five hundred thirty-five stu
dent teachers, dispersed in 54
school districts in North Caro
lina, went out from Appalach
ian State Teachers College, dur
ing the (all, winter, spring and
summer quarter* of the past
year to perform (tudent teach
ing.
Dr. Ben G. Boaworth, assist
ant professor of education and
supervisor of student teaching
at ASTC, said that students
were assigned to 196 separate
schools. He said that the larg
est number of students teaching
occurred in .Wataaga County
with Charlotte-Mecnlenburg a
close second.
Other areas in the top ten
school districts in number of
student teachers from Appala
chian included Wiastan-Selem,
Guilford County, Forsyth Coun
ty, Ashe County, BtmeoMbfe
County, North Wilkeaboro,
Rowan County and Shelby.
Each of these area* provided
from 12 to 39 studeat teachers
with opportunities to learn.
Dr. Boaworth paid tribute to
the 8M teachers in these school
districts who served aa class
room supervisor for the student
teachers.
In the study on student teach
ing Dr. Boaworth gave special
attention to the students' geo
graphical origins, where they
performed student teaching
and what they did after gradua
tion.
There la a fairly high corre
lation between the number of
student teachers coming from
each district and the number
performing students teaching in
the same area. Appalachian has
for some years followed a pol
ity of not sending student
teachers into schools they have
previously attended, or where
younger relatives and friends
rtight pose problems of "famili
arity."
Dr. Bosworth listed 405 of
the student teachers, or 74 per
cent, who are teaching in pub
lic schools. Three hundred
twenty-nine, or 81 per cent, are
teaching in North Carolina, and
B per cent are teaching out of
state.
The cooperating school dis
tricts employed 287, or 54 per
cent of the student teachers.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg employ
ed 46, Wilkes County, 17; Win
ston-Salem, 18; Forsyth County,
16; Guilford Cocnty, 14; Burke
County, 10; Surry County, 10;
and nine each by Buncombe
County, Caldwell County and
Gattonia. Forty-five other co
operating school districts em
ployed from one to seven each.

graduation. While some may
Wince at this relatively small
number, it actually was a good
sign. Education inbreeding has
been a source of concern to
school people, and this moving
about of our young men and
Women is one way to keep it
from happening.
College administrators were
pleased to learn that 18 per
cent of the group returned to
the districts of student teach
ing experiences for their first
j?bs. This was a compliment to
those concerned, because it in
dicated that they had done well

number so employed might
have been much higher, had
student teacher talents and job
opportunities been more favor
ably matched.
Other Observations
Twenty-nine student teachers
originally lived hi locations
outside of North Carolina. How
ever, 78 went outside of North
Carolina to teach, with Virginia,
Florida, and South Carolina
employing 32, 13 and six, re
spectively. The remaining are
located in Alaska, California,
Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky,
Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ten
nessee, Texas, Utah, the Philip

Of the 124 individuals not in
public school work, eight are
in service, 52 are continuing
their education, one is teach
ing, in, *n wfylftral center apd

about 13.
Forty-nine of the 59 not teach
