Dr. Bell recently suggested the system by which public school teachers would advance from "interns" to professionals" profession-als" with salary adjustments along the way. The meeting Thursday in Salt Lake, as the first in a series of conferences for school officials on the proposed system sys-tem and other school programs. Drs. Bell and LaRue W. Winget, deputy state superintendent, superin-tendent, and Blaine Winters, state teacher certification director, di-rector, met wih the following superintendents: Elmer Hart-vigsen, Hart-vigsen, Granite District; Lynn M. Bennion, Salt Lake City; J. Easton Parrat, Murray; Reed Beckstead, Jordan; , Harold Har-old Holt, Davis County; Dr. J. C. Moffitt, Provo City, and Dan Peterson, Alpine. Under Dr. Bell's plan, an "intern" would start with a minimum B. A. degree in education edu-cation and remain at the level for at least five years. A master's degree and at least three years' teaching experience ex-perience would rate a "career" level mark. "Professionals" would need seven years fulltime teaching experience, a master's degree and 45 quarter hours of advanced ad-vanced education. To men look out through the same bars: One sees the mud, the other, the stars. ll |
