PRACTICE TEACHING COURSES

THE TRAINING SCHOOL*

The Training School comprises a kindergarten, the six elementary grades, and the three years (7-9) of the intermediate school. Pupils are admitted upon the same terms as to Los Angeles city schools, and the same general plan of classification and promotion obtains. The school furnishes a thorough elementary and intermediate school education and offers many unusual advantages to its pupils.

The work of this school, however, is sufficiently like that of the Los Angeles city schools to permit transfers to be made to or from such schools without loss. In the intermediate school the same courses are open as are found in Los Angeles intermediate schools.

PRACTICE TEACHING

Under the rules of the State Board of Education fifteen hours of practice teaching are required of all students except those who may be partially credited on account of teaching experience. No student is graduated without having satisfactorily completed at least five hours of teaching in one of the training schools.

Practice teaching is afforded in the training schools, where student teachers acquire sufficient experience, under the direction of competent training teachers and supervisors, to enable them to prove their ability to teach successfully.

A high quality of work is demanded of student teachers.† Those who are unable to measure up to the required standard in practice teaching are denied graduation from the school which recognizes its function to be one of selection of those who should teach as well as that of training, for more effective service, those who give promise of success.

Students are assigned for practice teaching in the Training School of the Southern Branch in a Supplemental Training School, as cadet teachers at large in other Los Angeles City schools, or those of nearby cities, or

*NOTE. In addition to the training school, portions of two Los Angeles city schools are utilized as supplemental training schools. In 1918-1919 the Lockwood, Thirty-sixth and Grand Avenue schools were so used. Some students are given oppor tunity to do cadet teaching in other city schools. A few students each year are assigned to selected rural schools for practice teaching.

NOTE. A grade of "4" necessitates additional work in teaching until a standard of at least "3" is reached.

as cadet teachers in rural schools. No student is assigned to either type of cadet teaching who has not had some practice in one of the training schools.

All students except those who enter with second year standing, before receiving the first teaching assignment, must have had one required course in the subject they are assigned to teach and must have reached full second year standing.

Teaching 10 is regularly taken in the first term of the second year; Teaching 11 and 12 will often be assigned concurrently but may be taken in succession in the last two terms; Teaching 20 will often be taken by those who need or desire more than the required teaching experience in either the second or third term.

Practice teaching is usually afforded in a lower (1–3), a middle (4–6), and in an upper (7-9) grade or in a combination of at least two such groups. Some students who are preparing to teach in rural schools are sent into rural communities to devote their entire time to teaching for a period of two weeks. This rural practice teaching is credited as Teaching 12. Students planning to take rural teaching should take Teaching 11 in the second senior term. Each five hours.

Students who wish additional practice or who wish to specialize in teaching, either in a certain subject or in a certain grade or group of grades, and those whose first teaching is of such quality as to indicate the need of more than the required amount of teaching elect Teaching 20.

As elective work for those who are qualified there are opportunities for special kinds of work in Los Angeles day and evening schools, in Juvenile Hall, on playgrounds, in gardening classes, etc.

Weekly conferences under the direction of training teachers and supervisors of subjects are required in connection with each teaching assignment in the training schools.

THE LIBRARY AT LOS ANGELES

The Library is located in a separate building with a capacity of 50,000 volumes. The reading rooms will accommodate about 400 students.

Students in all departments are entitled to the free use of the library, which is open daily, except Sundays. From Monday to Friday, inclusive, the hours are from 7:45 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Library contains about 31,000 volumes and 8,000 pamphlets.

In addition there are about 6,500 bound volumes of the literary and educational magazines.

A course of instruction in the use of books and the library is offered as an elective. Talks on the general use of the library are given each term to entering students; and a Library Handbook, containing rules and regulations and general information regarding the library, has been issued for general distribution.

THE APPOINTMENT SECRETARY

Upon the request of school officials the Appointment Secretary recommends teachers who, in the opinion of the faculty, are able to fill satisfactorily the positions for which teachers are being sought. To do this intelligently, it is necessary that the Appointment Secretary have detailed information concerning the vacancies to be filled.

The Secretary makes every endeavor to assist graduates to secure positions of the kind for which they are best fitted. Students are urged

to make occasional calls at the office of the Appointment Secretary throughout their entire course.

There is no expense to the school officials or to students for the service rendered by this office.

EXTRA HOURS

Students in the junior college are permitted to carry a programme aggregating 18 units in any term, provided they have no conditions; otherwise they must limit their work to 15 units, including repeated work.
