teachers may meet the certification requirements of the State Department in the
secondary field.

Extension courses are offered in the V/illiam Penn High School, 3rd and Divi-

appreciate suggestions as to what courses may be desired.

TEACHER CERTIFICATION

Numerous inquiries have been received concerning courses for teachers
desirous of re-entering the profession and from teachers who wish to secure
certification in additional fields. Most of the courses offered in the Summer Session
will serve as refresher courses in addition to offering credit for certification.

If there is a sufficient demand, additional courses will be offered. If the
