Students who come to the School without experience are ordinarily apprenticed in their first year as teachers, and later, if they are working toward administration, supervision, or some form of special service, they take additional apprenticeship in connection with advanced courses. The practice teachers whose work is supervised by the School therefore include nearly all inexperienced students whether or not they intend to seek positions as classroom instructors. These practice teachers also include a few undergraduates who are taking advantage of the opportunity to include the practice teaching course, without credit, in the work of their Senior year...

The School now requires two years of work for the Master's degree with a general examination and apprenticeship in addition to the ordinary requirement of credit in courses. Every student in the School combines in his program the theoretical study of Education and advanced work in the special subject he expects to teach...
Practical work in testing, vocational counseling, and the directing of playground and recreation centers is comparatively easy to arrange. In administration it is possible to secure opportunity for participation in school surveys, statistical studies of school records, the formulation of building programs, and similar activities. It is naturally impossible to give full apprenticeship to inexperienced students in the management of a school or school system.
