I Teachers Continued from Page I program would pull twu bodies, the University and public schools, together to give students more in-class teaching experience. The College of Education cur rently requires students to take one term of ESCAPE that con sists of four to six hours of in class work each week, two terms teaching every day from 8 a.in. to t2 p.m., and one term of full-time student teaching, says Kathy Knutz. a senior majoring in elementary education. According to a survey of Oregon public school teachers conducted by the State System's Office of Academic Affairs, one term of full-time student teaching is not enough to pro perly prepare students. Marcus Robbins, a junior ma joring in education, says an ex tra year that includes more . classroom experience would lie invaluable. . ' '.'Twelve weeks isn't enough. » and it isn't’ real teaching ex perience anyway.", Robbins •says. He compares the ex perience he is getting to being a teacher’s aid. Other teacher education students say the quality of one term of student teaching depends on the teacher to whom a student is assigned. Robbins also says he favors a fifth year if it is devoted to more in-class experience. "I don’t think classes are as valuable as actual experience." Robbins says. Robbins is against paying for a fifth year that would duplicate the current one term of full-time student teaching, which entails working full time for a school district free of charge, he says. The current proposal units not specify whether students have to pay for the fifth year. Kelly Turner, a senior major ing in secondary education, says her biggest concern is the cost of the fifth year, which would force giving up a year's salary as a teacher. Another year of school might cost students Sl.StM) in tuition. Students also would have to pay for room and board Turner says she favors a tui tion waiver for students who would work in public schools during the fifth year She says she is not comfortable with a forgivable loan program that currently is being considered. The loan program would allow students who teach for at least three years in public schools to waive their loans. "I fee Hike i should pay back, my loans so other people people can borrow that money." Turner says: She says the prac tical experience' gained at the t iniversity is good, but.it cannot. substitute .for .actual work experience ' ; . Public school teachers who' are assigned to student teachers differ on how they train students. Turner says. "There is a lack of com munication between the University and the school district." she says. She also says that a lack of hands-on experience is a pro blem not otdy in teacher educa tion hut in nearly every field. Turner says the fifth year is a good idea as long as the finan cial burden doesn't come to rest too heavily on the students Kevin Holing, a teacher at Santa (ilara Elementary School. says he favors an extra year add ed to teacher education pro- . grains if it concentrates on in class teaching experience, But Hiding disapproves of a program such as the one used in - California state schools that re quires students to get a degree in an academic maipr and .then take all education courses in one year. ' •• j! Holing, who graduated .from the University in t?»H;t with a degree in elementary education, says, the amount and type of education coursd work- he received was very valuable:.lie says hi; is against any reduction ' in that area of the program Although Hiding savs he was adequately prepared for .the : classnaon w hen he- graduated, there shock updo reaching the real world, ' ■ "It's harder than'you ever im agined!” Holing says, "The toughest part of the job is learn i ing how.to'manage, children's behavior You-ve got, some children th^t are.
