Abstract
We surveyed the speech and drama programs in Iowa for a number of reasons. First, as teachers and supervisors in an institution concerned with teacher training, development and certification, we need to know the current status of our discipline in the secondary schools to more effectively prepare future educators who will be student teaching and later looking for employment in Iowa. Secondly, in order to permit the development of more effective programs or, where necessary, initiate new programs, teachers need to know the status and scope of the programs in similar school systems. At a time when funds are getting tighter and administrators are questioning the goals of the speech and drama curricula in our secondary schools, many teachers find themselves in the position of justifying the worth of their programs as being comparable in purpose, content, and quality to other areas of instruction and to other similar school systems.
