STUDENT TEACHING The successful completion of a prescribed period of student teach, ing is required for the degree, Bachelor of Science in Education, and for recommendation for a teacher's certificate. In addition, the student teacher is expected to possess those personal and professional attributes and characteristics deemed necessary for success in the teaching profession. Cooperative Schools. Student teachers will gain their practical ex– perience in the Xenia City Schools and in Greene County schools under the supervision of experienced cooperating teachers and designated mem, bers of the College staff. The pupils as well as the teaching conditions in these schools are considered to be representative of those the student may expect to encounter when later he is employed as a regular teacher. Students who are preparing to teach at the elementary level are required to do approximately one half of their student teaching in the City of Xenia and the remainder in one of the county schools. Students specializing at the secondary level will gain their student teaching ex– perience in Xenia High School or in other high schools of the surrounding area. Insofar as is possible, observation, participation, and responsible teaching is done in both city and county school systems.
