Lesley College (Massachusetts) and a Texas school district have collaborated in preparing new teachers. The Lesley College/Spring, Texas partnership challenges traditional delineations of responsibilities in teacher education. Preservice and inservice education are shared responsibilities of both the college and the school district. Third year undergraduate education majors must compete to participate in the program. To be considered, they present a professional resume, videotapes and audiotapes of their teaching, and a portfolio of other evidence of personal and professional achievement. Their academic and communication skills must be strong. If chosen, students complete a senior practicum and are therafter guaranteed a first year teaching position with the Spring Independent School District. During their first year of teaching, ongoing guidance and support are provided by a faculty member. (Author/CB)
