At present, teachers are prepared to teach in the ELEMENTARY schools, the academic subjects in the SEC­ ONDARY schools, and HEALTH and PHYSICAL EDUCA­ TION in the elementary, junior high, and senior high schools. As a part of the preparation of a teacher, the College pro­ vides a comprehensive program for the essentials of a broad cul­ tural, general, and liberal education as a basis for understanding our environment and society. It also provides a foundation for a thorough professional and specialized education which recog­ nizes the value of personal, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, academic, physical, and social maturity as basic to professional teaching competence. Also of importance is the fostering of student government and responsible student participation in as many areas of college operation as practicality permits. Such student participation has been both valuable and gratifying to all concerned. Another aim of the College is to help provide for the needs of the teachers of the area: library facilities are made available; evening classes are organized; twelve weeks of summer school provide an opportunity for professional study; workshops in health, science, and education are held; professional education groups are encouraged to visit and hold meetings on the campus; faculty members offer their services and leadership in promoting educational opportunities in the surrounding area. LOCATION OF THE COLLEGE The borough of Slippery Rock, where the College is located, is in Butler County, Pennsylvania, on the western edge of the Allegheny Plateau, at a height of about thirteen hundred feet above sea level. It is fifty miles north of Pittsburgh on Route 78, slightly west of Route 8, a super-highway from Pittsburgh. It is seventeen miles from Butler, twenty-eight miles from Franklin, seventeen miles from New Castle. Improved highways and ade­ quate bus service make Slippery Rock easily accessible to stu­ dents from all points in the service area. HISTORY In 1887 the people of Slippery Rock and the surrounding district began to plan for the establishment of an academy in order that their young people might have the opportunity for education near their homes. It was discovered that the eleventh district of the teacher training school system of the Common­ wealth was entitled to a normal school. Immediately the leaders widened their plans, sold stock, secured land, and in 1888 erected three frame buildings: two dormitories, and a recitation building and chapel. The application for the approval of the buildings and the establishment of a State Normal School was acted upon favorably by the State Department of Public Instruction on the first day of February, 1889. In the following month the first term of the new training school for teachers opened with an enrollment of 168 students. The first class of eleven members was graduated in 1890. On June 4, 1926, the State Council of Education authorized the institution to grant the degrees of Bachelor of Science in Education and Bachelor of Science in Health Education. On August 13,1927, the State Council changed the name of the State Normal School to the State Teachers College at Slippery Rock. On January 8, 1960, the name was again officially changed to Slippery Rock State College. 16 SLIPPERY ROCK STATE COLLEGE CAMPUS AND BUILDINGS The Campus.

SCHOLARSHIP REQUIREMENTS Report of a student's scholarship is sent to the parents and guardians at the close of each semester in the case of upperclassmen, at the close of each nine-week period for freshmen. The following system of marking has been adopted by the faculty: A—Excellent B—Good C—Satisfactory D—Credit I—Incomplete F—Failure The grade symbols are translated into quality points as fol­ lows: each semester hour of credit with a grade of A counts three quality points; B, two points; C, one point. D and F grades have no quality point value. A student's quality point rating will be determined by dividing the total number of quality points earned by the total number of credit hours carried. No student whose cumulative quality point rating is less than 1.00 can be considered in good academic standing. 1. Any student who at the end of his first semester receives as many as two-thirds of the number of hours on his program with grades F and D shall be automatically suspended from privileges of the college, unless it is evident to the dean and the personnel committee that the student can profit acceptably from another semester's work. Such student may be permitted to re- 46 SLIPPERY ROCK STATE COLLEGE turn not earlier than a year from his first registration and may be required to repeat the courses in which a grade below C was earned. A student who at the end of any other semester receives as many as one-half of the number of hours on his program with grades of F or D may be suspended from the privileges of the college for at least one full semester. If readmitted, such stu­ dent may be required to repeat all required subjects in which, during the preceding semester, he received either an F or a D grade. 2. Before a student is eligible to do student teaching, he must have as many quality points as semester hours of credit. He must also have as many quality points as semester hours of credit in his fields of certification. 3. Only those students shall be recommended for grad­ uation whose total quality points equal in number the credit hours required for graduation. 4. The number of credit hours a student may carry will be determined by his quality point rating as follows: (1) When the cumulative quality point rating of any stu­ dent is less than 2.00, he should take the normal se­ mester load. ( 2 ) A n y s t u d e n t w i t h a c u m u l a t i v e q u a l i t y p o i n t r a t i n g of 2.00 or more may, with the approval of the Head of the Department of his major field and the Dean of In­ struction, take additional hours up to a maximum of 20 hours. ( 3 ) Anyone wishing to take more than a regular semester load will be required to make application for those additional hours (the dates for these applications to be decided by the administration). ( 4 ) U n d e r c e r t a i n c o n d i t i o n s i t i s p o s s i b l e f o r s t u d e n t s to take examinations for credit in a subject field. Registering for the course is mandatory. Further informa­ tion may be obtained from the Dean of Instruction. SLIPPERY ROCK STATE COLLEGE 47 JUNIOR STANDING The faculty of the College has approved a set of standards or requirements for admission to junior standing. The program is subject to change. The purposes are as follows: 1. To promote an effective program of guidance through which students, aided and encouraged by the faculty, will engage in self-analysis and self-development with emphasis not only on scholastic achievement and breadth of general education, but also on other areas of development such as power of expres­ sion, voice, physical fitness, emotional balance, poise, social graces, ability to work with groups, and aptitudes for special­ ization in the curriculum originally selected. 2. To focus attention of beginning students on certain important areas of self-development, and to guide them through a pro­ gram of experiences that will contribute to that development. 3. To provide for the faculty of the College an organized pro­ gram contributing to a more rounded development of able stu­ dents, and to earlier and more effective screening of those who do not show acceptable interest in or aptitude for the teaching profession. REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO, AND REQUIREMENTS FOR JUNIOR STANDING I. Who must apply for Junior Standing? (a) Students who have completed three semesters of college work must make application within 3 weeks after reg­ istering for the fourth semester. ( b ) S t u d e n t s w h o s e p r e v i o u s a p p l i c a t i o n w a s n o t ap p r o v e d . II. Requirements for completion of: (a) The student must have satisfactorily completed 62 se­ mester hours of work before Junior Standing will be approved. (b) The scholastic record of the applicant must average 48 SLIPPERY ROCK STATE COLLEGE "C" or better, i.e., the student must have a quality point rating of 1.00 by the end of the sophomore year. ( c ) A "CF grade must be attained in English I and II. Stu­ dents making less than a "C" grade in either English I or II must repeat these courses until the "C standard has been achieved. ( d ) T h e a p p l i c a n t s h a l l m e e t t h e c o u r s e r e q u i r e m e n t s of his curriculum for the first two years, or shall have ap­ proval from the Dean or the Registrar for any devia­ tion therefrom. ( e ) T h e a p p l i c a n t ' s v o i c e m u s t b e f r e e f r o m objectionable pitch or tonal quality. Students with speech deficien­ cies will be required to take corrective work.

The required signatures on the application form shall be evidence of satisfactory' progress in these characteristics. SLIPPERY ROCK STATE COLLEGE 49 (c) Enter by transfer from another institution (d) Are on an accelerated program. ( 2 ) A p p l i c a n t s w h o f a i l t o m e e t r e q u i r e m e n t s m a y be al­ lowed one additional semester and/or a summer session of twelve weeks to meet them. (3) Final approval of all applicants rests with the College Personnel Committee. Dean's List Each semester a scholarship list, known as the Dean's List, is made public. To be eligible for inclusion on this list a stu­ dent must attain a quality point average of 2.25 of better for the current semester. The student must also be carrying at least 14 semester hours of classes. Summer School grades are not used in calculating quality point average for the Dean's List. STUDENT TEACHING ( § ) T h e a p p l i c a n t m u s t h a v e t h e a p p r o v a l o f t h e heads of the departments in which he expects to major and minor. The applicant must demonstrate a competence in the major and minor fields by maintaining an average of "C' or better in courses completed in these fields. Applicants may be required to take an additional three-hour course in a subject field to demonstrate competence. Each senior spends one semester as a full-time student teacher in the Campus Laboratory School or in one of the co­ operating schools. This period is the capstone of the students preparation for teaching—the time when he begins to assume teaching responsibilities. It provides the opportunity for him to develop his capacity to direct teaching-learning situations in a modern public school setting under the sympathetic guidance of master teachers. ( h ) T h e h e a l t h a n d p h y s i c a l e d u c a t i o n requirements of the first two years must be met. The applicant must have a record showing good physical stamina, good posture, and freedom from physical defects that may interfere with adequate performance of his duties as a teacher. Approximately two-fifths of the student teaching period is devoted to observation and participation in the teaching proce­ dures of the supervisor. From the beginning every effort is made to have the student realize that he is a vital member of the class­ room group. III. Special Considerations: ( 1 ) S p e c i a l c o n s i d e r a t i o n s m a y b e g i v e n t o a p p l i c a n t s who: (a) Change their major or minor fields (b) Change from one curriculum to another As soon as the student's confidence and insight warrant, he is assigned duties such as marking papers, preparing short tests, assisting during library or supervised study periods, telling a story, making a class assignment, and so on, until he is ready to assume full responsibility for teaching the class. There are fre- 50 SLIPPERY ROCK STATE COLLEGE quent conferences in which the supervisor and student teacher discuss purposes, plans, and problems involved in teaching an assigned group of pupils. In these initial steps the student teacher becomes familiar with the routine of classroom manage­ ment, the preparation of teaching materials, and the measure­ ment and charting of pupil growth. Students in the elementary field spend the entire day in one grade and really live with one group of children for half of their teaching period. During the second nine weeks' period, a similar experience is provided on another grade level. Student teachers in secondary education and in health and physical education are assigned to a school or schools for one full semester. The assignments are determined by the fields in which the student is seeking certification and are made on sev­ eral grade levels. Instructional materials are organized on the basis of units which vary in length from one to four weeks. The student has ample opportunity to observe and confer with the supervising teacher in each subject matter field before he is required to develop and teach a unit under guidance. Student teachers are expected to devote full time to their teaching assignments. No student teacher will be permitted to carry credit courses in the college in the semester assigned to student teaching. STUDENT TEACHING—FINAL GRADES No letter grades will be given for student teaching. Upon completion of that course, students will be marked Passed or Failed. They will be Recommended or Not Recommended for teaching certification. They will be rated by supervising teachers on a number of specific skills, traits, or areas of performance. The profile created by such ratings will remain in the office of the Director of Student Teaching and Placement. A student s quality point rating will not be affected by stuent teaching because no letter grades will be given at the end or the semester. 51 REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION AND CERTIFICATION 1. All curricula are definitely four years in length and all lead to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education or Bach­ elor of Science in Health Education, and entitle the graduate to the Provisional College Certificate in the appropriate curriculum. 2. The completion of the four-year curriculum for the preparation of elementary teachers entitles the student to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education and a Provisional College Certificate, which after three years of successful teaching and the earning of twelve additional semester hours of prescribed credit becomes a Permanent College Certificate. 3. Upon the completion of the four-year curriculum for the preparation of secondary teachers the student is entitled to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education, and a Provisional College Certificate, which authorizes the holder to teach all sub­ jects in a junior or senior high school in which he is properly certificated. After three years of successful teaching and the earn­ ing of twelve additional semester hours of prescribed credit, a Permanent College Certificate in the foregoing fields is awarded. 4. Upon completion of the four-year curriculum in Health and Physical Education, the student is entitled to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Health Education and a Provisional Col­ lege Certificate, which authorizes the holder to teach and super­ vise health and physical education in kindergarten through sen­ ior high school in any public school of the Commonwealth. 5. Students who hold a college provisional certificate in the secondary field and desire to have health and physical educa­ tion written on their certificates must complete a minimum of 30 semester hours. These semester hours should be distributed as follows: one third in Hygiene; one third in Physical Activities; one third in Theory courses. Effective October 1, 1963, this ex­ tension will require 36 semester hours of credit. 6. Graduates of teacher preparation institutions who pre­ pared specifically to teach the subjects of the secondary field and then decide to teach in the elementary grades may secure the proper certification for this work upon the completion of 52 thirty semester hours of approved courses in the field of ele­ mentary student teaching (this provision valid until October 1, 1963). 7. Persons who hold a college certificate to teach in the elementary field may have it extended for teaching on the sec­ ondary level by completing twelve semester hours of secondary education including six semester hours of student teaching on the secondary level, and by completing the required number of semester hours needed for certification in any selected subject area. PLACEMENT SERVICE An alert and effective placement service is sponsored by the college and administered by the Director of Student Teaching and Placement. Through his office, with the co-operation of the deans and heads of departments, complete and accurate informa­ tion is made available to superintendents, supervising principals, and boards of education, relative to the scholarship, ratings for student teaching, personality traits, and character of all seniors and alumni. THE GURRICULUMS The Slippery Rock State College offers three major curriculums—the elementary, the secondary academic, and the health and physical education. These curriculums are four years in length and lead to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Edu­ cation or Bachelor of Science in Health Education. All require t e satisfactory completion of a minimum of 128 semester hours as outlined. The cuniculums as given on the following pages were ap­ proved by the Board of Presidents of the Pennsylvania State Colleges and the Superintendent of Public Instruction and will become effective for freshmen entering in September, 1960. SLIPPERY ROCK STATE COLLEGE 53 NEW GURRIGULUMS The new curricula for the areas of specialization at Slippery Rock State College appear on the following pages. Each field includes at least 60 semester hours of General Education distributed among the areas of the humanities, the social sciences, the nature sciences, and miscellaneous fields. Not less than 24 semester hours are assigned to Professional Education in each field, and the remainder of the 128 semester hours is allocated to specialized fields and electives. On subsequent pages you will also find a summary of State certifica­ tion requirements followed by an eight-semester sequence of courses for each field of certification. However, it should be clearly understood that changes may be made by State action or in some cases by College action for administrative purposes. After October 1, 1963, no longer will there be any 18 semester-hour fields of certification. This means that many secondary education seniors will be graduated with only one broad major and a partial sequence com­ pleted toward a second field of certification. The same will be true for those majoring in health and physical education. Please refer to the State certification requirements sheet which explains regulations for graduates not fully certified in a second field in which he may be employed as a teacher pending full certification in that area. It is our hope that the accompanying information will serve as a guide in our advisory program. Particular attention should be paid to pre­ requisite courses where such are required and also to the projection of course electives so that students will fulfill requirements in all areas. Harold T.
