Vermont's Responsive Teacher Program: Competency Based Teacher Training

Evaluative data on the results of teacher training efforts are scarce relative to the volume of literature on the topic. A search of recent volumes of several journals located 676 articles concerning training. Only 18% reported outcome data and these reflect a lack of consensus about the choice of evaluation measures. The use of both trainee and child performance measures is proposed as a strategy to secure a valid evaluation. One example of a program evaluation for inservice and preservice training is presented.

This study was designed to examine the effects of a comprehensive feedback package on the preparation of preservice teachers. Twenty-four preservice teachers participated in an intensive training program that emphasized verbal feedback skills. Pre- and posttraining data were compared. After the training, the preservice teachers were placed in mainstreamed classrooms to determine the extent to which they were able to apply the feedback skills acquired in training. Data on verbal feedback provided by inservice and preservice teachers were collected in the classroom settings and, to investigate the effect of teacher verbal feedback on student responding, measures of student academic behavior were collected. The results indicate that the comprehensive package on feedback skills can be effective in preparing preservice teachers.
