and testing better, and the Tarleton students
developing a stronger background in the
role of teaching, the public relations ben-
efits for both Tarleton and the community
cannot be underestimated.
Since the spring of 1999, fewer than half
of the students in EDU 3303 have com-
pleted their field experiences in public
schools. It is a goal for P.D. I. that every
student in EDU 3303 completes his or her
field experiences in the public schools.
However, there are some difficulties that
must be overcome. First, each semester
there are approximately 100 to 150 students
in P.D. I. on Tarleton's Stephenville cam-
pus alone. Our partner schools and teach-
ers already provide quality experiences for
our P.D. II, P.D. III, and Practicum students.
How many more Tarleton students can we
reasonably expect public school teachers
to mentor? It does take time for a teacher
to plan for tutors and practicum students in
addition to planning for their own class-
room roles. In addition, what service can
Tarleton students preparing for a second-
ary certificate provide to E.S.P. high
schools? Secondary students would dearly
love to complete their field experiences in
the public schools, but this can be more
problematic. Secondary classrooms rou-
tinely have fewer opportunities for pull out
style tutoring than elementary classrooms.
On the other hand, EDU 3303 does not re-
quire that a student serve according to his/
her content area. Secondary teachers also
know which students are struggling and
have the materials and resources to help
them, but lack the time to individualize in-
struction. A Tarleton TAAS Tutor might
just fit the bill. A Tarleton TAAS Tutor
might be of value in helping "at risk" stu-
dents , or in UIL preparation or other co-
curricular program.
The purpose of field experiences in EDUthey prepared to deliver a lesson. But they
can apply what they learn about what it
means to be a teacher, basic pedagogy skills
and beginning classroom management to
help your students learn more. How may
we help you?
