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!
