This paper is a statement prepared for the General Subcommittee on Education of the Committee on Education and Labor, U.S. House of Representatives. In it the Texas R&D Center's programs in the personalization of teacher education are outlined, including examples of the process at work in experimental projects in the University of Texas College of Education and in the Austin (Texas) Public Schools. The paper reviews the present state of the art and speculates on the steps necessary to implement personalization on a wide-spread basis in the nation's schools and colleges. The paper closes with a request for continued, if not increased, support of the program, not only at the Texas Center but also wherever research and development activities are conducted that might further its implementation.
