SUGGESTED TEACHING COMBINATIONS FOR SECONDARY
TEACHERS

The State Board of Education has revised the program of studies for the
high schools of the State and has prepared a suggested plan for the assignment
of subjects to teachers. The subject combinations recommended for
which training is offered at the University of Virginia are as follows:

• 1. English and Foreign Language. (Latin or French.)

• 2. Mathematics and Science.

• 3. History and one of the following:

  • English, Language, Mathematics, and Science.

• 4. Physical Education.

It is generally recognized that the success of the revised high school program,
especially that phase of it which has to do with the assignment of

subjects to teachers, is dependent to a large extent upon an adequate supply
of instructors trained to teach the combinations of subjects as provided for
above. Students are directed in the choice of courses during their period of
training to insure their meeting the requirements for at least one of the teaching
combinations.
