Tompkins  \nG.Mason Hall  \nExecutive Secretary  \nPresident  \nNo.4 May 1966  \nLAUNCHING THE NATIONAL TEACHER CORPS  \nA National Teacher Corps of dedicated volunteers,on the model ofthe successful Peace Corps working overseas,is being recruited totackle the special problems of the urban and rural slums.The Corpswas first proposed by President Johnson in a speech to the NationalEducation Association in New York in July 1965.The proposal tookshape as Title V,Part B,of the Higher Education Act of 1965,whichthe President signed in November.  \nThe Act contained large authorizations for the Teacher Corps fortwo fiscal years,but when the Act was funded in December the HouseAppropriations Committee failed to appropriate the amounts authorized.The Office of Education was therefore obliged to go ahead with plansfor a program which had been established by legislation without knowingfor sure when there would be money for it,if ever.  \nIn March 1966,however,in a supplemental appropriations bil1 forthe current fiscal year,the House and Senate agreed to allot $9.5million to launch the Corps this year.But this was followed in Aprilby further obfuscatusca thedto appropriate funds for Fiscal 1967,which begins on July 1,1966.  \nThe Administration is now hoping to persuade the Senate to restorethe funds for next fiscal year when it considers appropriations.If itdoes,this wil1 necessitate a conference agreement with the House。Theamount that wil1 become available cannot now be foreseen,but it is gen-erally thought that there will be enough to get the program going thisfall along the lines already projected by the Office of Education.  \nThis year's appropriation,which must be obligated by June 30,isonly enough to pay for the selection of 1,600 volunteers and their pre-service training in summer institutes already contracted for with 41universities.  \n# CONCEPT OF THE TEACHER CORPS\n\nThe President1s address to the NEA last July contained these words:  \nOur country is blessed with young men and women who desireto serve those less fortunate than themselves.In theranks of experienced teachers there are others who woulddevote part of their lives to children in most criticalneed.The Teacher Corps offers a practical means ofuniting the idealism and wisdom of each --young graduatesand accomplished teachers --thus enriching the lives ofcoming generations.  \nPoverty pockets both urban and rural,where life is either too con-gested or too isolated,contain many children poor in experience as wellas in possessions.The Office of Education believes that there are somefive million children --one in nine of all children of school age --whose families never see more than $2,000 a year.They arrive at schoolage unprepared to learn and hard to reach by teachers they can scarcelyunderstand.They may be as much as two years behind their contemporariesin their ability to communicate;often they are unacquainted with schedules,with rules,with social contacts.  \n# BRIDGING CULTURAL,EDUCATIONAL GAPS\n\nThe purpose of the Teacher Corps is to send experienced and in-experienced teachers together to the schools where these children arefound,to bridge the cultural gap which keeps them apart from otherchildren,and to give them the special instruction they must have tostay in school and grow up with their classmates.These children needthe best teaching,but now often get the worst.They live in districtswith the least resources and with the largest number of underqualifiedteachers,where the teacher turnover is greatest because teachers de-part as soon as they can for greener pastures.  \nQuoting the President again,the stated objective of the TeacherCorps is IIto improve the quality of teaching where quality is mostneeded and in short supply --in city slums and areas of rural poverty.1  \nThe Teacher Corps is viewed in Washington as a cooperative federal-state-local effort,with an important assist from the universities.Inaddition to providing instruction to children in low-income area","cbCaicZbnZ45nL3Y","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicZbnZ45nL3Y","pdf",210183,"English","# Concept of the Teacher Corps\n#
