- ~ About: A 1961-65 Park College Diary ~ As a high school girl and then a college coed in the first half of the 1960s, I wrote nightly entries on the pages of one-year diaries. In January 2010 I began transcribing the entries into a blog and gave each one a title. I grew up on three farms within 30 miles of Iowa City and the University of Iowa with its Iowa Writers' Workshop. As the oldest of four daughters, in my diaries I sometimes referred to my sisters as "the kids" or "the girls." We helped our parents, but we also had good, wholesome fun - a characteristic I took with me to Park. Park is 300 miles southwest of West Chester, Iowa, in Parkville, Missouri, on the Missouri River 10 miles northwest of Kansas City, Missouri, and across the river from Kansas City, Kansas. In 2000 Park College became Park University. Today Park's flagship campus is in Parkville and there are an additional 41 campus centers across the nation. Park was one of the first educational institutions in the United States to offer online learning. My last post was on May 22, 2018. I may be followed on Twitter @BarbaraMcDWhitt.
Met Our Supervisors for Student Teaching - Friday, September 11, 1964
We finally got our call about student teaching, so Evelyn, Mrs. Steelman and I went out to Southeast Elementary School at 1:00 to meet Mr. Fincher, the principal, and our supervising teachers. I will be under Miss Dyer. It is the school where we read our stories for children's lit last spring. Kathy Webb will also be teaching - under Mrs. Gauhey, the one I sort of wanted. (Shirley Stith had her.) I think she would have liked to have me, too, but I'll like Miss Dyer, too. Eleven of us Stephens girls got up at 3:00 and waited on Hawley's front porch roof till the goons came at 3:45. It's been a really good "Hell Week" so far.

Informative stuff. Actually, I'm also a student and find out the solved or answers to my syllabus questions & landed here. Until research in the field of lineserved.com education provides for practical ways of realizing this development, then, without a doubt, the right to give the acquisition of symbolic logic a more important share in the educational process. Its a fact you have also shared an enjoyable and informative piece of content here. Anyways, thanks for sharing the nice piece of stuff with us.
