Teacher Preparation Course Information

By: Carole Gates

Teachers who are planning to give a Teacher Preparation Course but are at a loss as to how to begin to publicize it–what to include–how much or how little–might take a clue from the course planned by Carole Gates.

Carole’s flyer included the following: Objectives (5 listed); Prerequisites (3 listed); Course Length and Format (specific days, time, and location); Cost (amount and when payable); Includes (tapes, handouts etc.); Content and Expectations (13 or so items listed); Please Bring (materials to be brought by teacher candidates); lastly, a Registration Form.

There could be no doubt as to what was expected of the candidates and what they could expect to receive in return.
