Teachers
The teacher is one of the most important single factors in education. Teachers must have well-balanced personalities and must be highly interested in children and their well-fare. They must be well trained for their positions which are among the most responsible in the community.
The training of the teacher has been a difficult task. There exists a conflict in the emphasis of `content ` versus `method` type of learning and teaching. The teachers knew much more about methods of teaching and about childhood growth and development but they were lacking a basic knowledge of their subject matter which, in many instances, was the same as lacking a real knowledge of the culture.
The teacher training of the future must combine both objectives. It must provide a rich cultural background for each teacher and it must also provide courses in methods of teaching, analysis of childhood growth and development and a good orientation in education philosophy. The achievements of these goals can occur only by improving the teaching techniques and curricula of the teacher training schools and by making the course of five years duration instead of four. The teachers` colleges gradually are moving in this direction and constantly are re-evaluating their programs in light of future needs.
Another basic change in the training program will be the new method of recruiting prospective teachers by the teachers` colleges. More emphases will be placed on the intellectual capacities of prospective teachers and upon the personality make-up of the future teacher as it relates to the teaching of children. These changes will tend to give the elementary school teacher of the future greater status in the community and will tend ,through the improvement of education, to justify larger salaries on the part of elementary school teachers. Both of these facts will help in the recruiting of young men to teach in the elementary school. This has been a long sought goal which will be slowly but consistently met.
The ideal teacher of the future will be willing to cooperate and to share his knowledge and experience with parents and fellow teachers. He or she will be dealt with democratically by supervisors and administrators and his opinion will be sought before policy changes are made. He will be given assignments in many areas where he can use his training and experience in improving the schools. His status in the community will increase significantly in the future. The ideal teacher of the future will maintain the proper balance between the needs of the individuals and of the group. His techniques and his objectives will be fitted to the developmental level of the children. He will provide for many types of learning and through various methods of evaluation will see that definite and adequate learning is taking place.
One of the most important and one of the most basic achievements of the school of the future will be a profound change in the actual running of the classroom by the teacher.
