Both the Holmes Group report and the Carnegie Commission report have substantiated a need for restructuring teacher training within several similar parameters. Many of the suggestions from the two reports are similar to established practices for restructuring teacher education that were developed and implemented by National Teacher Corps, originating more than 20 years ago. The majority of Teacher Corps Programs were graduate degrees in fields other than education and trained in pedagogy with emphasis on immediate application in classrooms. Differentiated staffing was a consideration in Teacher Corps Programs. This paper points out that re-examining the thrusts of the the Teacher Corps and the Holmes and Carnegie reports leads to the conclusion that some reforms may result in finding answers from previously tried experimental programs.
