- Title
USING COMMUNITY RESOURCES IN THE EDUCATION OF NEGRO TEACHERS.
- Authors
Weaver, Edward K.
- Abstract
The article presents information related to the education of Negro teachers. A school-community program of education is ineffective and sterile without the development of techniques and competency for integrating the Negro people into the life of the community. The teacher-education institution should prepare teachers, who will work in school community programs, in such a manner that the schools in which they teach will serve as a center for community activities, utilizing community resources in improving the educational services of the school. Teachers must be developed in such a manner that they can utilize the social, human and natural resources of the community to solve socially significant, controversial and pertinent problems of community living. Negro teachers too express desire for the teacher education institutions to assume their role in providing teachers competency to deal with socially significant issues which are vital and of concern in community living.
