FOREWORD

The General Assembly in 1934 passed a law providing for the
issuance of certiﬁcates by the State Board of Education through its ‘
executive ofﬁcer, the Superintendent of Public Instruction. This
law provided, also, that all certiﬁcates shall be issued upon the basis
of the completion of curricula prescribed by the Council 011 Public
Higher Education and approved by the State Board of Education.
In administering this law it is necessary (1) that the Council on
Public Higher Education prescribe the curricula upon the basis of]
which all the certificates authorized under the law may be issued;
(2) that the curricula prescribed by the Council 011 Public Higher
Education be approved by the State Board of Education; (3) that;
the State Board of Education set up rules and regulations for ﬁling. ,
curricula and for the issuance and reissuance of certiﬁcates; and,
(4) that each institution engaged in the training of teachers ﬁle
their curricula with the State Board of Education as a basis for
issuing certiﬁcates.

The Council on Public Higher Education met on May 6, 1935,I
and prescribed curricula upon which certiﬁcates are issued. The
State Board of Education on May 27 approved these curricula and
in addition adopted regulations for ﬁling curricula, transfer of
credits and for the issuance of certiﬁcates. On August 15, 1935, the
State Board of Education adOpted standards for the organization
and administration of the program of supervised student teaching
as a part of the requirements for the issuance of certiﬁcates. TI“S
Bulletin, prepared by Richard E. daggers. Director of Teacher
Training, contains the laws governing the training and certiﬁcation
of teachers and rules and regulations for their administration.

PART I
Certiﬁcation Laws

Part I contains the laws passed by the General Assembly in
1934 relating to the training and certiﬁcation of teachers. This law
states that, “All certiﬁcates provided for by this act and that may
be issued under this act shall be issued in accordance with the pub-
lished rules and regulations of the State Board of Education through
its executive ofﬁcer, the Superintendent of Public Instruction.”
(Section 4502-1 Kentucky Statutes.)

Section 4527-3, Kentucky Statutes, gives to the Council on Pub-
lic Higher Education the authority to prescribe curricula. The law
states further that certiﬁcates shall be issued upon the basis of cur-
ricula prescribed by the Council on Public Higher Education and
approved by the State Board of Education.

Council on Public Higher Education. The Council on Public
Higher Education is made up as follows: “The president or chief

ing for white persons—the University of Kentucky, Eastern Ken-
tucky State Teachers College, Western Kentucky State Teachers
College, Murray State Teachers College, and Morehead State Teach-
ers College; a member, other than the Superintendent of Public In-
struction, of the board of regents of each of the four above men-
tloned state teachers’ colleges, said member to be selected by the
board of regents of each teachers’ college; three appointive mem-
bers of the board of trustees of the University of Kentucky to be se-
lected by the board of trustees of said University; Two lay members

sity of Kentucky; and the Superintendent of Public Instruction of

{11 Frankfort on May 6, 1935, and prescribed curricula for the train-
111g9f teachers and administrators for the public elementary and
Public secondary schools in Kentucky.

Approyal of Curricula. The State Board of Education, under
the authority vested in it by the General Assembly, met on May 26,

adopted standards for supervised student teaching as a part of the ‘
regulations for the issuance of certiﬁcates. l
Effective Date of Regulations. Regulations for the issuance of
certiﬁcates 1u1der the Acts of the 1934 General Assembly will become i

time, except regulations relating to renewal, extension and tenure of '
certiﬁcates 1n force on September 1, 1935, have been repealed. i
