For thirty-one Salem seniors missing fall break and getting up at 6:30 each morning is no tragedy. Making their classroom debuts as student-teachers on Monday, October 12, these seniors will be conducting ten weeks of classes in the Winston-Salem, Forsyth County public schools. In preparation for this first teaching experience, the student-teachers have enrolled in an intensive five week program called “The Block’’ in which they com plete two courses. It is within this program that they study various teaching strategies, the teaching of reading, and the educational needs and characteristics of the students with whom they will be working. At the end of the five week program, each student-teacher will be able, through the use of video-tape, to observe herself teaching a lesson. Each of these thirty-one seniors has concentrated in a specific subject and grade level. Of the thirty-one, nearly half have prepared themselves to teach within the early childhood category (grades K-3) while others have prepared for teaching at the intermediate (grades 4-9) and secondary (grades 10-12) levels. A few students have focused on Art and Music Education, and a number will also be working with children who are learning disabled and-or emotionally han dicapped. A grades K-3 student- teacher, Misae Tanaka, will be working with twenty-three first graders, some of whom have learning disabilities. As have all the student-teachers, Misae has had the op portunity to meet the cooperating teacher with whom she will be working and to observe the students she will be teaching. Misae describes her cooperating teacher as being helpful and supportive; and having seen her charge of six years olds in action, Misae admits that teaching them will be a challenge. Faculty Exhibits Art An exciting collection of works by Salem College faculty artists Lea Lackey- Zachmann, Bill Mangum, Ed Shewmake and Rick Flanery is now on exhibit through Oct. 15 in the Salem College Fine Arts Center. Lackey-Zachmann is showing her “process painting’’ watercolors of visual images for the first time. Mangum’s works include landscapes and a portrait of novelist William Faulkner done in oil. The exhibit also includes acrylic and oil portraits as well as etchings by Ed Shewmake. Functional and free-form pottery by Flanery will be on display until Oct. 15, when paintings from jazz musician Donald Byrd’s collection of works by black artists will be featured. Byrd will also give an 8 p.m. concert at the Reynolda House Oct. 30. The public and all students are encouraged to view this unique collection of art in the FAC weekdays from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sundays, 1 to 9 p.m. “In the Mountains” is one of Shewmake’s works on exhibit in the Salem College Fine Arts Center. The timetable leading to full control of the classroom by the student-teacher varies. Polly Lindenmuth, one of two students seeking certification to teach the emotionally handicapped, describes her position in the classroom as initially that of an aide. “Eventually,” Lindenmuth states, “I will have full control of the class and will be writing all the lesson plans; later, the cooperating teacher will essentially become my aide.” Guidelines for student- teachers require that the student-teacher have full control of the classroom for a minimum of two weeks. Student-teachers must also assume all the duties of the cooperating teacher in cluding bus duty, playground duty, and parent conferences. On returning to campus each day, they must prepare lesson plans for the next day’s teaching. Grading ' of student- teachers is based on weekly evaluations by the cooperating teacher as well as by a Salem supervisor who periodically observes each student-teacher in the classroom. Finally, exit criteria measuring the in dividual student-teacher’s achievement or lack of achievement in the classroom becomes a part of her placement file. Board Stresses Officers’ Duties “I hope Officer’s Board can emphasize the importance of each class officer and her duties,” said Lee Richardson, founder of the board. Officer’s Board was established as an auxiliary council last spring. Its pur pose is to serve as a com munication and planning source between classes. The board also plays an important role in guiding freshman class officers as they become familiar with the rules and functions of SGA. Members are class officers, the chairman of Election’s Board and a day student representative. Class officers of the preceeding year are asked to remain on the board through midterm of the fall semester. The junior class president serves as chairman for one year, beginning midterm of her junior year. Richardson is serving as chairman until Oct. 25 when France^ Barnes will assume the chairmanship.
