COLE BAY - University of St. Martin Teacher Education Program (TEP) students recently volunteered to assist with the reading and writing assessments at Charles Leopold Bell School.
This is a public school, which recently reopened to accommodate undocumented students ranging in ages of 4-7 years old.
The USM teacher education students were trained on a Saturday by their language arts instructor, Ms. Patti Maier, and were coached and supervised while they tested the Charles Leopold Bell students during the past two weeks.
The future teachers gained some practical experience by observing how children begin to read and write.
