orientation from the school district
in which they work.
Robert Monke, Associate Dean
of the School of Education and
Human Development said that
while academics are important, the
professional development new
teachers receive from the creden¬
tial program is just as important.
"Many people have the aca¬
demic skills, but they cannot com¬
municate with students, other teach¬
ers, parents, and administrators,"
said Monke. "People on emergency
credentials really need to be taught
effective teaching methods so they
can be effective in the classroom.
With approximately 20,000
California teachers on emergency
credentials, there is an urgent need
to provide a different way of teach¬
ing new instructors without tying up
valuable room on California cam¬
puses.

"When 20,000 people need cre¬
dentials, there has to be another way
of instructing them, beyond the tra¬
ditional means," said Gail
Tompkins, a Fresno State education
professor who developed a series of
videos for the new program.
Tompkins helped develop a se¬
ries of videos that will show new
teachers the proper way to instruct
pupils on how to read. Topics such
as the use of phonics, vocabulary,
comprehension, and special tech¬
niques for students with learning
disabilities will be covered. Simon
& Schuster is paying for the pro¬
duction of the videos and will pub¬
lish and market them for use by
other universities.
Tompkins said the video will not
be a talking head video. It is made
up of vignettes of teachers using the
methods in actual classroom situa¬
tions. Her textbook on reading in¬

proach," was also selected. She said
she was excited to be working on a
groundbreaking technology that is
the only one of its kind in the na¬
tion.
Fresno State instructors Bonnie
Dutton and Adrienne Herrell wrote
scripts for Tompkin's video series.
The huge crush of new teachers
was caused by new rules that allow
no more than 20 pupils per class¬
room in elementary school grades.
The new teachers must continue to
take at least six units a .semester
toward their regular teaching cre¬
dential to keep their emergency cre¬
dential.
Since most teachers already
work eight hours and live in areas
that may be located far from a uni¬
versity, this can be a daunting task.
Rebecca Evans, the project cor
ordinator for the new program, said
the new courses will cost a little bit
more than traditional classes since
the student will need access to the
Internet to take the classes. But she
said students should learn the ma¬
terial just as effectively as in a tra¬
ditional classroom situation.
Evans said the CSU system will
share revenue with Simon A
Schuster from sales of the course
materials.
The CSU will begin offering the
classes starting in the Spring 1998
semester. Students can sign up at
the nearest CSU campus.
