For instance, students who are experiencing difficulty in school as a result of different factors, work in smaller groups with Mrs. Burt to overcome their learning difficulty. self-concep- ts We at Corinne Elementary school feel fortunate to have a Title I aide working full time with us. We hope that as the year progresses even the parents can become more involved in setting goals and working on worthwhile activities to help the child.

I explained to him briefly about college requirements and certification and he nodded, philosophically pursing his lips. 1 see. And he was off, basketball beating a rhythm on the dining room floor. I am a teacher. I can prove it with all the necessary degrees and certificates and some extra ones thrown in for good measure. But I am aware that the certification and diplomas are merely whether passports to the profession-a- nd or not I can teach effectively depends upon a number of other variables. glad youre Johnny, and Im glad youre here.

Well, you goofed this time, but youre still a worthwhile person and well master this tricky math yet. All too often the learning process is more affected by the emotions than by the mentality. A mind fully capable of absorbing learning is frequently clouded by feelings of anger, frustrations, loneliness, or fear. When this is the case, the teacher must first penetrate-o- r, if possible, he unpleasant emotional barrier before intellectual stimulation can eliminate-tCARING, I believe is one of the things that helps make a teacher a m teacher-cari- ng enough to insist on reasonable standards of scholarship and discipline; caring enough to sense a youngsters special problem and particular need; caring enough to prepare thoroughly and consistently caring enough to stay in the classroom while some of your colleagues chat in the lounge. Closely related to caring deeply about the educational process is the matter of simply liking young people and the ability to let them know it. Have you ever thought of the different messages a teacher might convey when he says, Good morning, Johnny.? He might be saying, Ho hum. Both of us are here to bore each other one more day. Or he may be saying, Good Heavens! Do I have to put up with you again? Or, I see youre here but Im too busy to bother. Perhaps, however, the message is, Im be effective. THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE for the teacher who creates the emotional barrier by ridicule, disdain, or just plain lack of concern. It is surprising, however, how a word of sincere interest or deserved praise can change the emotional climate. Fortunate is the student whose teacher, by various ways and means, can comI like you.

CAPITOL THEATRE ADEn VrEIJ 6:00 p.m. Weekdays 1:00 p.m. Sat. Sun. TODAY THRU TUESDAY One of the of our educational system is that young people grow up to get the idea that education is a process that goes on for nine months of the year and twelve years of their lives with intermissions and a conclusion. This is not the way it should be. Education is like a remarkable plant that lives throughout the year and bears fruit every month as it goes along. There should be no intermission or conclusion in the educational process. There is no real end to education. You cannot store up knowledge and use it in the same way you store up money so that you buy everything you want out of this money you have in your possession for all the rest of your life. You can get wisdom only on the installment plan and the installments must go on as long as you live. troubles SORIS, S.
