The successful institutionalization of teacher preparation reform requires more than isolated course and curriculum reform. It is a systemic standards-based approach to the preparation of teachers that includes overarching state policies, campus support at all administrative levels, and a continuing evolving cross-disciplinary culture of reform. LaCEPT will promote activities, and campus support at two levels to cultivate these prerequisites for successful at institutionalization. The first is for university personnel to learn from exemplary sites; the second, to engage in presentations and other activities designed to engender the understanding and support of key campus administrators. Louisiana's strengthened commitment to the reform of teacher preparation and undergraduate education is underscored by recent actions of the Legislature: creation and funding of TOPS and the BoR Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning (CITAL). CITAL, which aims to promote reform in teacher education programs throughout the state,will function in several capacities: (1) as a clearinghouse to promote and disseminate the latest in education research, materials, and data about Louisiana teacher education; (2) as an agency to provide funds for targeted teacher preparation reforms; and (3) as an evaluator of existing teacher preparation programs. Four areas of concentration in teacher preparation were emphasized during 1997-98: (1) K-3 Reading and Mathematics; (2) Middle Grades; (3)Classroom Technology; and (4) Leadership Development. Building on the TOPS program (II.B) and several pilot mentoring programs initiated under the CRPs, LaCEPT will cultivate further systemic support for preservice students and novice teachers. The continuing commitment of the Board of Regents, the Governor, and the Legislature provide the supportive context within which reform efforts on campuses will continue to expand and grow in vigor. With additional legislative funds expected the impact of CITAL will elevate visibility of th e reform effort at the campus level and among the public at large. Supplemental support from NSF, for both symbolic and material reasons, will help make certain that these developments occur.

教师培养改革的成功制度化需要的不仅仅是孤立的课程和课程设置改革。这是一个系统的标准为基础的方法来准备教师，包括总体国家政策，校园支持在所有行政级别，并不断发展的跨学科文化的改革。LaCEPT将在两个层面上促进活动和校园支持，以培养这些成功实现制度化的先决条件。第一个是让大学工作人员从示范网站学习;第二，参加旨在引起主要校园管理人员的理解和支持的演示和其他活动。 路易斯安那州加强了对教师培训和本科教育改革的承诺，这一点在立法机构最近的行动中得到了强调：创建和资助TOPS和BoR创新教学中心（CITAL）。 CITAL旨在促进全州教师教育计划的改革，将发挥以下几种作用：（1）作为一个信息交流中心，促进和传播有关路易斯安那州教师教育的最新教育研究、材料和数据;（2）作为一个机构，为有针对性的教师培训改革提供资金;（3）作为现有教师培训计划的评估者。在1997-98年期间，教师培训的重点是四个领域：（1）K-3阅读和数学;（2）初中;（3）课堂技术;（4）领导能力发展。 在TOPS方案（II.B）和在CRP下启动的几个试点辅导方案的基础上，LaCEPT将进一步培养对见习学生和新手教师的系统支持。董事会、州长和立法机构的持续承诺提供了支持性的环境，在这种环境下，校园改革工作将继续扩大并充满活力。随着额外的立法资金的预计，CITAL的影响将提高校园层面和广大公众对改革工作的关注度。NSF出于象征性和物质原因的补充支持将有助于确保这些发展的发生。
