Secondary Level Teacher Training Program. June 1, 1984-August 31, 1987.

Overview & Synopsis

The 3-year Secondary Level Teacher Training Program is intended to train special education teachers for students with mild disabilities at the middle and high school levels. The program included both certification and masters degree components and was structured to encourage students to obtain both. Results of a survey of Oregon secondary special education programs and services found that most secondary special education teachers had been trained in programs with an elementary education focus. Program goals include student recruitment, program implementation and evaluation, and model dissemination. Results are presented in tabular form showing program competencies and program courses, a summary of evaluation procedures, a summary of program competency assessment data, and practica evaluations from cooperating teachers. The major portion of the document consists of appendixes including course outlines, the program evaluation tools, and a sample final supervised field experience contract. (DB)
