The Beaver County School District is hosting a Teachers' Institute and Seminar at Belknap School. What is new fs that this is the first time it's ever been attempted during the school year, with all teachers in the district taking part and without disrupting the teaching process at any of the schools in the district. The way all this is possible is by importing some 62 student teachers, their graduate supervisors and professor to Beaver County to take over the teaching duties, while the regular teachers go to class. Most of the credit for the innovative idea goes to Supt. Lynn Haslem who sold the idea to the state school board, who is picking up the tab. He then sold the idea to Brlgham Young University, who had never tackled a program of this magnitude. Then he sold it to the Beaver County School Board. After planning and planning, this week it's all coming off so smoothly that nobody believes it. The BYU students have been moved right into the communities, in homes of residents who provide bed and board. Dr. Ivan Muse, director of the service trip, said, "It's all going better than I would have believed. It's the greatest thing for these teaching students." "We've gone out into some of the bigger schools for student teaching, but there the student teacher is under the direct , supervision of the particular teacher and often does little actual teaching. These young people are getting invaluable practical experience, right where they need it most. They can go back to BYU and really settle down where they need it." Graduate supervisor, E. Mark Bezzant said the students were being very cooperative with the student teachers and the only problems cropping up at the time of the New's interview were mostly logistical. Keys to locker rooms slowed the start of Girls PE and the mats for tumbling arrived late, but the cute BYU coeds were undaunted and soon had the girls doing callsthentics and turning cartwheels. The experiment so far has been a big success for all concerned. The week was barely underway as the New's deadlines approached, but the enthusiasm looked sure to carry through the week. The pictures on this page are representative of this success. .; Jr'V 'in-'- ( , ,t Vi M; ! , 4 j A IT r 1 it Z- 'fvl' . , f . . ... .i t. . . v if m Tiirt- - " iM.tl bit'ilntaa.M , m i in V ' " 'IkT?''!?TmTl''m' BYU coed Diane Rose gets right into the swing of things with - Milford's finest.
