West Georgia College Begins Second Year
WEST GEORGIA COLLEGE
LABORATORY SCHOOL
Through the co-operation of the pub
lic school system of Carrollton and the
authorities of West Georgia College, a
laboratory school has been set up fon
the education department of West
Georgia College at Maple street school.
The college gives the children and
teachers the benefit of the supervisor
and direct contacts with college teach
ers and modern, progressive theories
and practices of education; also the col
lege library extends faculty privileges
to the city teachers.
The public school provides a normal,
practical situation for observation and
practice teaching for second year stu
dents and observation for first year
students.
This quarter, 17 students are doing
practice teaching in the seven grades
daily and 50 students are observing
twice a week.
Ih all practice teaching, careful prep
aration is made and both the super
visor and teacher in charge approve
plans before the student-teaehen ap
pears before a class of children. The
teacher in charge remains in the class
room while the student-teachers teach,
thereby making it almost impossible
for the child to suffer any loss through
student-teaching. Conferences be
tween student-teacher and regular
grade teacher, regular grade teacher
and supervisor, student-teaehen and su
pervisor are held weekly.
The school bus makes four double
trips daily to transport college stu
dents to and from Maple street, thus
preventing any congestion in class
rooms.
