The Focus of the Teacher Center in an Educational Renewal Site / James R. Tanner and George W. Denemark.

The teacher center, in this paper, is defined as an "institution established within an educational renewal site designed to facilitate change in instructional personnel primarily through inservice education and training experience." The authors advise that teacher centers must attend not only to the development and remediation of teaching skills but also to the personal style and value patterns of each teacher. A center is seen as requiring "close and continuing" cooperation among school systems, colleges, and universities, with additional assistance from professional associations and community agencies. Teacher preparation objectives, needs assessments that are central to the development of a center, and training needs are sketched. (LP/JA)
