Series on W(Dmen9 health begiiis iiest week
A series of public programs titled "Women's Health:
the Individual, the Family, the Community" will be
presented in Efland and Hillsborough from Oct. 16
Nov. 9.
The programs, funded by the Orange County
Commission for Women, each will be led by a local
humanities scholar.
The North Carolina Humanities Committee, a state
based program of the National Endowment for the
Humanities, awarded a matching grant of $4,818 to the
Commission.
The programs from 7-9 p.m. will be at Cameron Park
School in Hillsborough, and at the Efland Multi
Purpose Center in Efland.

1977-78 Women's Commission chairperson; Nancy
Park, staff co-ordmator for the commission; Miriam
Singer, a commission member- and former Planned
Parenthood clinic director; and Melissa Tufts, a
commission member.
"Values and traditions are changing and it is hard for
women to decide 'Do 1 want to change or adapt?' This
program is an effort to try to create a setting where Iocar
scholars can provide information and a chance for
personal discussion," Nancy Park, project director, said.
. The North Carolina Humanities theme for this year is
"Traditions in Transition " so the commission also is
following that theme.
The first topic to be discussed in Hillsborough on Oct.

Board expected to OK teacher-competency test
By PAM KELLEY
Stiff Writer
After receiving unanimous approval by
its Committee on Educational Planning, .
Policies and Programs, the UNC Board
of Governors is expected to approve a
resolution today to lay the groundwork
for a quality-assurance program for
public schoolteachers in North Carolina.
The program, approved by the N.C.
Board of Education last week, was
developed by the staff of the state
Department of Public Instruction and the
UNC General Administration.
It provides for a three-part assessment .
of the state's teachers: at the point of
entry into teacher training programs, at
college graduation and again following a
three-year period of trial certification.
Already certified teachers would face a ,
formal re-evaluation procedure prior to
recertification.
The proposal also calls for greater
teacher access to continuing professional
training.
"It may be as long as two years before
these changes are instituted," Elizabeth
Kootz, assistant state- school
superintendent for teacher education,
said Wednesday. "The tests have to be '
developed, validated and initiated. We're
going to begin planning as soon as the
resolution passes the Board of
Governors." t
A detailed plan of the program will be
presented to the Board of Governors in
early 1979, said Donald Stedman, UNC
associate vice president for academic
affairs. "I think it will take three to five
years to implement the program," he said.
The teacher-testing plan requires
college students who want to enter the
public school teaching profession to take
two tests. '
The first would be given at the point of
entPy into the teacher training program to
.ensure that students possess basic
academic skills.sDeveloped especially for
North Carolina, it would cover English
usage; literature, fine arts. social studies,
mathematics and science. A passing
grade would be required before a student
could enter a professional educational
curriculum such as the UNC School of
Education. " -
!
Students who fail the test could either
seek remedial help or receive counseling
on other careers.
At the end of the senior year, students
would take the second test, an attempt to
measure proficiency in the student's
prospective teaching area. Students
would be required to pass the second test
to receive a provisional three-year
teaching certificate.
Officials of the state Division for
Teacher Certification said the second test
eventually may replace the National
Teachers Exam, now required before
public school instructors are certified.
That test has been criticized by educators
who say it is too broad and does not weed
out unqualified teacher-candidates.
Although the . teacher-competency
testing plan will take time to become
established,-the Board of Governors has
set aside funds for teacher-education
programs in the proposed 1979-81 budget
for the 16-campus UNC system.
"Of the $675,400 allotted for inter
institutional programs, $400,000 is to be
used for Universitywide teacher
education improvement programs," said
Raymond Dawson, UNC vice president
for academic affairs.
