| Abstract | This paper presents the rationale for the development of an elementary teacher training program designed to prepare students to teach in rural areas. The Province of British Columbia (Canada) is a vast geographic region populated by only two and a quarter million people. Most reside in rural communities ranging in population from a few hundred to several thousand. The schools in these small communities are the focal point of the teacher training program. At present most teacher training programs prepare students for teaching positions in urban centers and large rural communities. The University of Victoria, British Columbia, structured a training program to develop teachers specifically for these small communities. This program incorporates 2 years of univesity study with two years of "first hand" experience of teaching and living in an isolated settlement. Students complete several community, school, and classroom projects dealing with the unique environment of a small rural settlement. To be awarded a Bachelor of Education degree, the students complete a fifth year of study at the main campus of the University. The rural elementary teacher training program more adequately prepares students for careers in rural schools and sensitizes them to the professional life of a rural teacher. Graduates of this program embark on their professional careers in rural communities with greater confidence. A chart outlining the time frame of the program is given. This paper contains 16 references. (ALL) |
