The University of Wyoming elementary teacher education program, Professional Semester I, is designed to relate college theory to classroom practice. Two college instructors and three university school teachers work with students in 4-hour blocks 4 days a week. The students study basic teaching methods relating to the four educative processes--communication, learning, problem solving, and evaluation--for 2 of the 4 hours. The remainder of the time students observe and participate in learning activities in curricular areas involving the processes in grades 1, 3, and 5. Flexible scheduling within the 4-hour block enables students to observe activities both morning and afternoon. (Related program materials are present in the text and in the appendixes.) (MJM)
