THE WORK OF THE TEACHER EDUCATION RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CENTER, A LONG-TERM PROGRAM OF RESEARCH, DEMONSTRATION, AND DISSEMINATION, WAS DESCRIBED. THE ADMINISTRATIVE ORGANIZATION WAS ALSO DISCUSSED ALONG WITH THE SETS OF FACTORS IN TEACHING BEHAVIOR AND CHILD LEARNING WHICH THE CENTER IS UNDERTAKING TO STUDY. THE CENTER IS ALSO CONDUCTING STUDIES DEALING WITH THE TWO EDUCATIONAL STRATEGIES OF THE SELF-CONTAINED CLASSROOM AND THE TEAM-TEACHING FORMAT. EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF SPANISH-SPEAKING CHILDREN, RESEARCH ON STUDENT TEACHER TEACHING TECHNIQUES, ADMINISTRATIVE PHILOSOPHY AND PRACTICES, AND CULTURAL PATTERNS ARE ONLY A PORTION OF THE OPERATIONS BEING CONDUCTED BY THE SUBDIVISIONS OF THE CENTER.
