This questionnaire study surveyed the attitudes of public school administrators regarding several topics associated with teacher preparation programs. These foci included: (1) the content of the letter of reference written for student teachers and interns by cooperating teachers (in this study, cooperating teachers are those practicing teachers who work with student teachers and interns in their own classrooms), (2) suggestions by administrators for improving the opportunity for employing inexperienced teacher candidates, (3) interview questions often asked by administrators, and (4) the employability of elementary interns as opposed to student teachers. These topics were analyzed with data collected by means of a survey of a sample of Wisconsin public school administrators. (Author)
