Good news bad news
Teaching jobs open; not in metropolitan areas
"There are jobs for teachers available if
they are willing to go where those jobs
are" Mrs. Elizabeth Frost Hardin-
Simmons placement director proclaimed
after attending a meeting of the Texas
Association of School Personnel Ad-
ministrators (TASPA).
"This year there is a shortage of
teachers in Texas although the shortage is
not in the metropolitan areas" she said.
PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS can take
advantage of this "good news" by fully
preparing themselves for both the jobs and
the interviews necessary to get the jobs
Mrs. Frost stressed.
She explained that the more areas of
competency (or certified teaching fields)
a person attains the better his chances
will be of getting a job.
"A PERSON SHOULD present the
entire self not just a degree when seeking
a job" Mrs. Frost said. "Strong outside
interests excluding formal education and
including such things as sports and drama
are often used in obtaining jobs in the
teaching field."
"The applicant should know his personal
philosophy of education. It will be asked
often" she stated.
Mrs. Frost attended the TASPA meeting
while she was at a convention of the Texas
Association of School College and
University Staffing in Austin.
A TASPA REPORT listed the
organization's concerns about students
graduating from Texas colleges and going
into the teaching profession. Some of those
BSU conference
to draw students
from across state
Approximately 2000 students from
across the state will "saturate every
building on campus" Feb. 2-4 when
Hardin-Simmons hosts the Texas Baptist
Student Union Leadership Conference
according to Mrs. Deann Styles interim
director of religious activities.
The LTC was held on the H-SU campus
last year and "it is an honor for both the
university and our BSU that Hardin-
Simmons should again be chosen to host
the conference" Mrs. Styles said.
"Leadership in Action" will be the
theme for the event which will run from
Friday afternoon through Sunday mor-
ning. Although the conference is primarily
aimed at providing resources for newly-
elected BSU officers all students are
welcome to attend Mrs. Styles stated.
concerns include:
That English majors have more
English grammar composition and
teaching of reading.
That elementary majors should have
With a 'little' help
more reading and math.
That the number of required theory
courses be reduced and the number of
practical and applied courses be increased.
That certification requirements for
second teaching fields be reduced.
The complete list of concerns along with
other TASPA reports may be seen in the
Placement Office Mrs. Frost said.
