The purposes of this study were: to measure the perceived needs for skill training of student teachers, public school teachers, and other educational personnel involved in teaching center activities; to see if some of these needs related to the same underlying concepts; and to profile individual teaching centers according to some of these underlying concepts or factors. Results indicated that subjects felt needs for training in individualizing, stimulating communication, emphasizing affective growth and expression, supervision, and evaluation. Implications of the findings for supporting responses to individual teaching centers are discussed. (Author/JD)
