Abstract

A paradigm shift has occurred in teacher training institutions in recent years. Many universities are abandoning traditional teacher training programs and are opting to offer this training through professional centers. These centers are grounded in research on best practices and usually incorporate more field experiences which results in the need for quality mentors. One South Texas university has five years of experience with such a program. Problems encountered have included cost, rewards, training, selection, collaboration and time constraints. Solutions to many of these have come from careful budgeting, legislation, research, increased community involvement, and state initiatives.
