Typical negative reactions to the use of new technologies in teacher and counselor training are viewed briefly. Five training styles are discussed: (1) consultation; (2) audio recording; (3) one-way mirror viewing; (4) audio-video recording; and (5) coached clients and simulated experiences. The efficacy of each in meeting the behavioral objectives for which they are intended is considered. The author prefers the simulated method because: (1) the range of experiences can be broadened to include practically any facet of human behavior likely to be encountered in a counseling situation; and (2) the supervisor-trainee sessions will be more likely to focus on personal attitudes and values rather than merely on techniques of counseling.
