Preparation of Personnel. Papers Presented at the Annual International Convention of the Council for Exceptional Children (48th, Chicago, Illinois, April 19-25, 1970).

Council for Exceptional Children, Arlington, VA.

The report of the 1970 convention of the Council for Exceptional Children includes a workshop on the need for teacher training in the behavioral and learning disability areas. The workshop proceedings discuss innovations in teacher training by James T. Tompkins and George T. Donahue, a prescriptive teaching system by Laurence J. Peter and Keith H. Sharpe, and a crisis model of teacher training by Nicholas Long. Topics also concern the future of training administrators by Daniel D. Sage, the movement of nonprofessional personnel to teaching positions by Marlys M. Mitchell, and the training of professionals and paraprofessionals in early intervention with atypical infants by Mary Ann Newcomb. (JM)
