Progress Reported, Future Plans Given
by Teacher Competencies Study Group
The National Advisory Commit
tee for the Better Utilization of
Teacher Competencies which is
being directed by Central Michigan College spent three days on
campus last week.
In addition to the Elementary
Study for the Better Utilization
of Teacher Competencies, the National Committee this year gave
help in setting up an extension of
the study to the high school level.
This extended program, which
will consist of one full year of research in a number of high
schools, will start July 1.
The Teacher Competencies
Study was insiiiuied in 1952 as
the result of a five-year grant
by The Fund for ihe Advancement of Education, a division of
the Ford Foundation. The National Advisory Commiiiee was
established for ihe purpose of
giving advisory help io ihe
study.
A complete review of the study
was presented by the study staff,
consisting of Charles B. Park, director; Harold H. Wilcox, and
L- N. Welbourne, study consultants. They showed that the study
was making encouraging progress
in its effort to provide a solution
to the overcrowded classroom situation which is so prevalent in
elementary schools.
The study's plan of using
Teacher Aides in schools where
there is a teacher shortage was
also found to be functioning successfully.
Following the adjournment of
the National Advisory Committee,
a delegation of two educators from
the Virgin Islands spent a half-
day on campus discussing the
Teacher Aide program as a possible solution to the overcrowded
conditions on the Islands.
Ceniral Michigan College has
agreed io cooperate wiih ihe educational authorities of ihe Virgin   Islands in setting up  an
Aide program there if ihey decide io inaugurate this plan.
Robert Cotton, Commissioner of
Education of the Virgin Islands,
wiU visit Central's campus  and
some of the Aide programs the
last week in May when, a delegation from Puerto Rico will be m
this area.
