Objectives and Methods of the Department of Apprentice Teaching. (Jamaica Training School)
Abstract
The three city Training Schools are devoted solely to the task of training teachers for our elementary public schools. They are an important link in our educational chain. There is no more important phase in our educational system today than the training of teachers for our elementary schools, since they are the persons (outside the parents) who come in closest contact with the children and are their primary educators.The training school course extends over a period of four years. Hiring this time, the closest integration between the work of the theory, model, and critic departments makes it possible for the students to secure an exceptionally firm foundation in the theory and practice of teaching. I shall not go into detail with regard to the work of the theory and model departments but shall confine myself to the objectives and methods of the critic or practice department of the Jamaica Training School. In order to understand fully, however, how this department functions, we must have at least a working knowledge of the other two to show how they round-out and supplement the work of the practice field.
